At some point on January 3rd I realised that I had had alcoholic drinks on two successive days. Most people would say, “Oh right, that’s funny/cool/strange/odd/nothing to be remotely interested with,” delete as applicable and carry about their business. For someone who was pretty much teetotal as an adolescent and who had only just… Continue reading Wet January
Stuck on repeat… January 2016
It’s a rare thing that I would start a post almost immediately after finishing up the last one but these things, they do happen!* *brownie points for you if you know where that phrase is from! Spectre – Radiohead I heard this just a moment after posting December’s SOR and knew I’d be playing this… Continue reading Stuck on repeat… January 2016
Curiosity Killed… In Bruges
Part one about my day in Brussels is here. Read it already? Then you may continue… I didn’t really know much about this pretty little city until I watched the film. Yes, that one with Colin Whatshisface. Delightfully dark tale. I remember thinking what a charming little place, I must visit it! Sadly, I think quite… Continue reading Curiosity Killed… In Bruges
Curiosity Killed… In Brussels
I’d barely looked up from my iPad, watching a Storyville documentary on an FBI informant whilst on the Eurostar, headphones on loud to drown out the rowdy lot sat ahead of us (they were on shots as the train departed at 8:04 a-fricking-m) and hadn’t realised we’d pulled in to Brussels’ Gare du Midi. It’s… Continue reading Curiosity Killed… In Brussels
Stuck on repeat… December 2015
This month has gone by in a flash, quicker than all the previous months, mostly because I was counting down the days|hours|minutes|seconds until hubby finished work and would be home with me for Christmas and New Year. There’s the usual mix of old and new-ish, all available to listen to on my Spotify playlist. Rumors… Continue reading Stuck on repeat… December 2015
Must see movie… Star Wars: The Force Awakens
So… How do I write a review with zero spoilers? Hmmm… I can’t tell you about that scene in that place with that big thing happening. Or about when good person said that to bad person. But I can tell you that I really enjoyed it. I’m not the world’s biggest Star Wars fan.… Continue reading Must see movie… Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Before the mist clears from my mind, let me share a few quick thoughts about the beautiful and brilliantly simple installation by Ann Veronica Janssens that I visited. Three coloured lights of yellow, pink and blue and mist; such a simple premise but one that was enticing for me and enough people for a 35… Continue reading yellowpinkblue

Taste of London – Christmas 2015
Here’s a super quick post on my trip to the Christmas edition of Taste of London at Tobacco Docks. In my post about the Summer festival I mentioned that we had bought tickets to this winter version to get us in the Christmas mood. But did it? Reader, it did! Taste Christmas is held at… Continue reading Taste of London – Christmas 2015
Must See Movie… Spectre
I make no secret of being a Bond fan. I LOVE Bond films and I want to be a bad ass Bond girl. I like the old ones, I adore the new ones. When I first watched Casino Royale I thought that this was the Bond for me. I remember actually shedding a tear… Continue reading Must See Movie… Spectre
