My love for Tatty Devine has already been documented on this blog on a number of occasions. I would buy pretty much everything on their website if I could. Last year, I missed out on the sample sale and lucky dip weekend – I think I might have been on holiday or away for work or … More Tatty Devine Lucky Dip Weekend
For some unknown reason, I get a week off work for Easter, so I have spent my extra days sleeping, waiting in for deliveries, and getting my eyes tested. My eyes have deteriorated a little, but even if they hadn’t, I’d still have a look around for a new pair of specs as I’m so … More I need both ears to hold up my glasses
It’s my blog’s first birthday – yay! I originally started it to document my road trip, but I’m glad I’ve kept it going. Next up on the horizon is a trip to New York, a work conference in Sheffield, and a visit to the Coronation Street set. For reals.
I feel compelled to write this post after a little bit of an unnerving walk home. I am very fortunate that I can drive to work. Some days, it’s ridiculously frustrating and can take me a stupid amount of time to get in, but it’s far better than my alternative. I’m also very fortunate to … More Just totally Clueless
The past few weeks have exhausted me. And tragically, the chores are not complete yet because we have bought a new kitchen. This is extraordinarily exciting, but it’s also led to the almost GUTTING of the rest of the house, as we very quickly have to find temporary homes for the current contents of our … More Restaurants are minefields for the socially inept
At the end of each year, I would post this meme in my LJ so I thought I’d transfer it to this blog from now on. 1. Was 2013 a good year for you? On the whole, yes. 2. What was your favourite moment of the year? Watching the sunrise from our balcony at the … More End of the Year Meme
I unashamedly love Christmas. I love getting gifts, I love giving gifts, I love the food, and I love being around my family. And I’ve been lucky enough to have some pretty great Christmases. This year was no different. We stayed at my in-laws Christmas Eve and opened our first gifts there when we woke … More It’s just nice to meet another human that shares my affinity for elf culture
My winter solstice was an eventful day. It started with a trip to Boutink in Farnborough – a tattoo studio staffed and run by very talented female artists, Jessie and Luna, with Elisa as their right-hand-woman. This was my fourth time getting tattooed and I loved it. I’ve wanted to get my very first … More Cold days, long nights
For the past week and a half, I have for the most part been living the life of a single woman, as Husband has been flitting back and forth between Copenhagen and home. I am ridiculously jealous, as I always am, because I love Copenhagen and because he’s gone and eaten at my favourite eatery … More People don’t realise this, but loneliness is underrated
Back in the good old days when LJ was a thriving community, I used to love doing these kinds of posts – where you get tagged by a friend and there’s a bunch of random questions. Jaina at Time Well Spent has done a bit of tagging with the Sushine Award, so I thought I’d have a … More Sunshine Award
