How has your re-entry been? Your back to school post vacation?
Chioma Nnadi 0:27
I I feel I'm not qu like a little discombobulated, I'm not going to lie. It also doesn't help that the son has has gone a vacation from the UK after being around for so long. So it feels like we're so fully back to school. But I'm excited. There's lots going on in London. The Chipobo Loena opened their first store and there's lots of debuts and people are excited. kind of in the run up to I think it's gonna be a really fun London fashion week. We've got Christopher Gaine is back with Mulberry. And Sean McGur's showing in London for McQueen. So we've got lots to look forward to. But yeah, I I d feel a bit like whoop, like my head's not quite fully popped onto my body.
Chloe Malle 1:11
How was your vacation? Oh, your grease pictures were gorgeous.
Chioma Nnadi 1:14
Divine. I I get it now. I get the Greek Islands thing. You're going Greek? I was fully like for years I was, oh God, if anyone posts any more shit from Greece, I'm gonna be like But it is heaven. And I think having seen the Odyssey, I went to Paros and Crete, which is the birthplace of Zeus. Mm. And it was just so beautiful. The food, the people, the vibes. There's this beach or cove lagoon called the Elephonisi. Cove and it's got pink sand and it was just so beautiful. And we stayed at this new we stayed at a couple of new hotels, one called the Reverie, which has this gorgeous view onto the sunset, and and this other one called Laura, which was very cool. So what was the best thing you ate? I was like, Well the best thing I ate was in a little taverna.
Chioma Nnadi 2:06
Just totally unassuming the hotel that we were staying at recommended them and they were right up the street and we're like, Oh, we got really fancy and dressed up for it and we get there and it's like really low-key. And both of us were like, What are we doing? But it was fabulous, no doubt. Oh my god. But the food was so good. It was like a these homemade lamb and beef meatballs. And then they came with a with this amazing steak and showed us it before they cooked it. And you could see them cooking the food and it was just so good. Even just simple things like the roasted peppers and in olive oil were just perfect and the tomatoes, everything just tasted fresh. Anyway, I'm still there in my mind. I love that for you, Jonah.
Chioma Nnadi 2:52

And um Is that where you're headed for Labor Day? That is a long weekend that's coming up, right? It's a long weekend. It's coming up this weekend. I am heading there tomorrow after work. We have a pear tree on our property that is very temperamental and some years has zero pears, but this year has been this like prolific pear crop. And so I feel like my entire August has been about pear management. We've been Juicing. Conference pears or the blush pink ones? Oh wow, I'm really impressed with your pear knowledge. I I don't know, there are y yellow pears that are juicy.
