This month’s NAB present is very cute. I really don’t think I can do it justice however, mainly because I am not good with fiddly little things. I’ve been aware of Another Studio for a while, since the good old days of the Domestic Sluttery blog. Their MONUmini’s are iconic of course, and we own … More Not Another Bill – July 2016 review
As woman whose normally high emotional level is even higher at the moment, I’m sure you can imagine that every little thing has the potential to lead to tears right now. To say that I’m fragile is bit of an understatement. However the decision that 51.9% of my country made earlier this week has utterly … More We’re all alone in our own universe
In the 16 days since my Dad died, so much has happened in the world. So much that he won’t ever know and all I want to do is talk to him about it all, hear his opinion. I was in Foyles today and saw three books I want to recommend to him. I watched … More My Dad
I will get back to some kind of normal with this blog at some point. For now, a quick catch up on my recent Not Another Bill presents. May was meh. Pretty enough, but I’m just so tired of these bland homeware items – how can I get excited about a table runner? Particularly when … More Not Another Bill – May and June review
Surfside was perfect for us and we could have happily stayed in that area the whole holiday, but we did think we should make the effort to go to the more touristy area at least once. And South Beach is very touristy. It was a bit of a culture shock, going from the 5 people … More There are no straight maids in South Beach
Despite wanting to spend 24 hours a day in our glorious hotel, we did manage to drag ourselves away on a couple of occasions. We were mostly worried about the rain storms that threatened to spoil our trip, but aside from Saturday afternoon, the promised bad weather didn’t appear (much like our New York stay, … More I heard the rainstorms ain’t nothin to mess with
After booking flights to Miami, we turned our attention to location specifics. I knew I didn’t want to be in South Beach, toyed with some Coral Gables hotels, before discovering Surfside, some 7 miles north of the main hubbub. Initially, we went with our default option which is always a Marriott with Husband’s corporate discount, and … More Grand Beach Hotel Surfside, Miami
We have just returned from such a ridiculously blissful holiday in Surfside, Miami. So blissful, that I almost immediately loaded up Google Flights when we got back home to figure out when we’re able to go back. We essentially did nothing for 85% of the time, but we did nothing in one of the … More ¡Bienvenidos a Miami!
My second Friday night in a row at a comedy gig. This week’s venue was very different to the West End Centre in Aldershot – no offence intended to the little West End Centre but The Royal Festival hall is one of my favourite big old halls. When you get obsessed with something right down to … More The rest of the show is just about Ocado
Last year, I saw Sara Pascoe at the Greenwich comedy festival and said that “I definitely want to see in her own show”. As it happens, tickets to her Animal tour went on sale shortly after the festival, and I snapped up a pair for the first night of the tour at the West End Centre in … More Woman on top, man on death row
