Wednesday wasn’t cold and rainy, but it was grey and humid, so what could be better than spending the day wandering in and out of shops, and grabbing a bit of culture from some of the museums and galleries scattered around the place. I had two shops on my to do list – Hannah Zakari and … More Edinburgh – The Other Stuff
Quick set of Fitbit stats: on Monday, we did 7.6 miles; Tuesday – 16.8; Wednesday – 11.9. That was a lot of steps. Walking around Edinburgh city centre was not fun. The traffic was relentless, the pavements were thick with crowds of tourists – it was hot, smelly, and busy. Fortunately, we found three relatively … More Edinburgh – The Walking
We ate well in Edinburgh. Very well. We went out for a wander just after we checked in, and found ourself in Peter’s Yard, a Swedish bakery and coffee shop right by our hotel. We both had a delicious kanelbullar (cinnamon bun) and that’s what tempted us back on the morning we left Edinburgh as … More Edinburgh – The Food
In a repeat of last year’s pre-summer holiday, we’ve just got back from a few days in Edinburgh. Feeling a bit more like locals, we didn’t want to repeat the touristy stuff from before, and we mainly spent the three days walking around. I finally got my 35,000 steps badge from Fitbit which I was … More Edinburgh – There and Back
The Southbank Centre is currently in the midst of their Festival of Love – a summer of music, art, and exhibitions culminating in a weekend of weddings at the end of August. I would dearly love to get married on the South Bank (which, as this blog has established, is one of my favourite places … More The pleasure, the privilege is mine
This short film nearly made Tim poop himself. I mentioned this in my last post but it warrants mentioning again. Don’t Hug Me, I’m Scared is a “musical horror” series, currently up to episode 4. It was created by Becky Sloan and Joseph Pelling, two insanely talented people who have also created music videos, other short films, and … More Clever, I’m very clevery guy
This blog will be peppered with photos of Dr Buckles on his bike if I keep going to see Bug. And I plan to keep going as watching music videos for a couple of hours is a very pleasurable way to spend an evening. I didn’t enjoy as much of the music in this show, but … More Stop Looking at the Monkey – Bug 47
What a lucky girl I’ve been this month. Last week, I picked up two new pairs of glasses from the opticians (which are killing me, but that’s another story) and what do I receive in my NAB parcel this month, but a BEAUTIFUL glasses case from La Portegna. Now technically, they have sent a glasses … More Not Another Bill review – June 15
I ended this week by having two burgers in two days. Not particularly healthy but they were insanely tasty. The first was at CAU in Guildford with some friends from work. I haven’t been to CAU in about three years – not for any reason other than I don’t go out in Guildford that much … More Blazing beef, and big old buns
Everyone has been posting their Tatty Devine collections on Instagram, so I decided to gather up all my jewellery from their various locations around the house for a mini photoshoot. I thought I had both more and less than this but of course I could always do with more. I had put myself on a Tatty … More My chain hits my chest, when I’m banging on the dashboard
