In drink news, I've rather bizarrely developed a thing for lemon barley water over lockdown. Before I got it a couple of months ago, I hadn't had it in years, but it's really very refreshing!
Wow I haven’t had this since I was about 12 , I used to have it with fizzy water, craving it now!

I developed a taste for sparkling water after I gave up the sugary stuff. Never saw the point in it when I was younger, but I like it now. I'm not a big drinker, so I'll often have it with a meal, and it feels a bit less spartan than still water.
I LOVE sparkling water with ice and lemon. Like I'm obsessed haha. I never understood the appeal of sparkling water until about 2 or 3 years ago now I love it. I also use soda water or sparkling water with cordial as I just love the fizz

I had a cheese sandwich - sadly the lettuce was all off so it was just cheese and bread and butter - looked like something from a kids choice meal box from a canteen on a fun day out. Ah well. They were always tasty though to my little self!

I've just had a delicious lunch, which was just fried vegetables, but so good. I had leftover steamed new potatoes, sliced them up and fried them with sliced mushrooms, kale, garlic, fennel seeds and chilli in a bit of olive oil. Salt and PLENTY of pepper (not really, just a normal amount). It was super tasty and used up those potatoes plus the remainder of a large bag of kale.

I could really do with some chocolate now to get me through the most boring work project I've had the misfortune on working on in months. But alas, there is no chocolate in the house and it's still chucking it down here , which rules out a walk to the shop, so I guess a cup of chai will have to do.

Might have to do takeaway for dinner. Mr Bosch is working very late and I have little food in the house (delivery due tomorrow). He's gluten-free, so when he's gone, me and the kids can indulge in gluten-heaven (pizza! veggie burgers!) The world is truly our oyster tonight.

Never thought the day would come when I'd be craving fresh vegetables (I'm Glaswegian), yet here we are.

So....to crowbar in an entirely unrelated subject....Please can I ask a favour? Can anyone recommend some good tv to watch?
I’m struggling a bit at the moment and want something to lose myself in and to laugh.
Stuff I have liked:

The Inbetweeners ❤
Parks and Rec
Plebs
The IT crowd
True Blood (but that might have been for Alexander Skarsgard ❤)
Funny, irreverent stuff but not League of Gentlemen weirdness
I loved Merlin (years ago I know) and GOT
Currently watching Lucifer but it isn’t immersing me completely.
I liked the Michael Sheen/David Tennant collaboration which I can’t remember the name of. Good Intentions maybe?

I love, love Louis Theroux, Adam Buxton, Joe Cornish stuff/podcasts.

Nothing heart wrenching. I need no encouragement to cry.

Thank you Fraus.
The Umbrella Academy is good I really enjoyed that like a dark superhero type thing

The Other One is brilliant. So funny, with some thought-provoking moments too. I loved Motherland and it's written by one of the creators of that. It's on bbc iplayer.

So for @heretoreaditall2019 and anyone else who's interested, I had my first go with the carpet cleaning this morning, I'm a little disappointed but I think the carpet cleaner isn't a miracle worker so I will just needto clean it on a regular basis.

bleeping hell I was like ooh look there’s my name ‘press’ also does anyone else immediately press any spoilers.

that looks like something Jack’s made in her nutribullet bleurgh

On a more serious note @crystaleyesd - If you do have time in Paris there are some interesting exhibitions at the Centre Pompidou and if it is not too morbid for you (?) The Père Lachaise cemetry is also really fascinating, history, art, statues and wonderful sculptures, don't bother with an expensive guided tour. Do have a Croque Monsieur or Madame and cheers to you with a home made citronnade.

Is there a Lambo parked outside? Asking for a friend.
Sadly all I've seen so far are lots of petit Citroëns. Jack wouldn't enjoy it here at all.

Thank you for this! Definitely going to pere lachaise and I'll think about the pompidou. Not hugely keen on going inside places rn 😂 I've been to Paris several times so I'm mainly here to chill (not necessarily in my boutique hotel) and eat (definitely not self made slop).
