Good morning, and a jolly ‘up yours’ to the dickheads in school who teased me for having a ‘love bite’ on my neck. It’s a pressure wound, assholes, and most violinist have them. I’m proud of mine. 👊🏻 #Strong #Violinist

When did people in the UK start saying ‘Can I get…’ when ordering food. You’ll notice my lack of question mark there, because I don’t actually care, but rest assured, I’ll be sticking with ‘Please may I have’, thank you very much. #politegirl
