the first
I just discovered a spinach leaf in my hair. I've no idea when it got there or how long it had been hanging around but, considering I haven't actually been in the kitchen since this morning it must have been a really long time! Today was my day off and I made the most of it by meeting Dad for lunch. He just got a puppy - a chocolate lab called Duke, who is just the cutest thing in the entire world! Shame Tom isn't a fan of animals or people and won't let me get one too. Anyway, dad and I had lunch and then I went to meet one of my suppliers and we went to Whitstable oyster tasting, which was great fun!

I get quite sad when people brush off oysters and other foods (like snails or crickets) because they think it will be gross. They really don't know what they're missing out on! Oysters are absolutely amazing if they're prepared correctly - as are snails and crickets, coincidentally. Tom won't let me put either of the latter on the menu, though, and only let's me serve oysters when I beg. He gets bored of me following him around going 'please Tom, please Tom, please Tom' over and over again and eventually gives in.

Anyway...what was I saying? Oh, the spinach leaf! Well, I just got back home, went for a shower and found a spinach leaf in my hair! I wonder if I had it in my hair all day and, if so, why didn't anybody say anything?

I think I may have to make more marshmallow cookies; Ernie ate all of the last batch.
