God this sounds like a glorious week Ella! I just loved reading this post.

'Every single drive begins with my rendition of The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived by Taylor Swift.' – if this ain't me! A dramatic (but focused!!) drive every time.

And thanks for my lil mention, you are too kind 🥺

My top song this year. It releases every ounce of tension in me.

1. I think I need to join your office, you sound like an amazing colleague.

2. My stepmum used to live in Brighton before she met my dad. I can confirm you should visit, it's an amazing place. She went back last week for her friend's 60th and met a gay porn star who'd just flown in from somewhere very chic - I feel like she needs her own Substack after writing this.

3. "I contemplate becoming a detective, but decide it would be too hard." is the reason I didn't go into a law/criminology/psychology career 😭

4. Can't believe how good this post made me feel. Just super light-hearted and lovely 🫶

1. Please do, you'll be just in time for secret Santa 🎅🏻

2. This is UNREAL, what a story!! Need a full rundown of this night out immediately.

3. The fact that being a detective isn't like how it is on death in paradise is the ultimate betrayal 💔

4. YAY I'M SO HAPPY!!!! Thank you Soph, you are the best 🩵🩵

This is so silly and ridiculous and I can't believe I prioritised reading this over all the other things open on my browser, and I'm not even sure how I stumbled upon this, but...I LOVED IT! I really don't understand why and how - this is a compliment by the way, just to clarify 😂

It was refreshingly different and bizarrely interesting. I should probably just stop and shut up now, it's 5am, I can't sleep. This was a welcome distraction, I'll be sure not to [over] analyse this post any further.

One important question - which Wallace and Gromit was it? Is there a new Christmas one?

Tuesday 10th Dec

Dopamine skyrockets as I see my name in *the* substack. Laugh out loud to my phone in the middle of the street as a result of comedic literary geniosity that is said substack. Feel proud of my friend (my friend! hehe!).
