Over the past couple of weeks, Mr Jones Watches have been treating their Instagram followers with a couple of mini sample sales. Very helpfully, they post a countdown on their stories (which gives me enough time to clear my calendar) but you still have to be quick because there’s only a few available. The first … More Mr Jones Watches – Robotto Shi
A couple of weeks ago, we took a quick trip to the Barbican to see the AI: More Than Human exhibition which promised an exploration of developments in AI. Husband was very intrigued, I was just happy for a wander around the Barbican, and a special cocktail. The tickets had mostly sold out when we … More AI: More Than Human at the Barbican
There are three types of people who go to the annual Tatty Devine sample sale in East London: The early-starters – the ones who get there at goodness knows what time in the morning (or even the night before) and seemingly never leave the hall… The late-morning queuers – the ones who get there just … More Tatty Devine Sample Sale 2019
I’ve only been a Mr Jones Watches collector since 2014, so I have missed out on a lot of their history. The release of The 100th has given me some indication on what I’ve missed out on, and it confirms that I have approximately 16% of their releases in my collection. Always good to have … More Mr Jones Watches – The 100th
Back in November, I noticed that the prices in the Virgin Atlantic Black Friday sale were good. Crazy good. So good that I found myself unable to say no, so booked a little trip to New York for the bit between Christmas and New Year. We initially wanted to go from the 27th to 30th December, … More Flying on New Year’s Eve
London has a lot of excellent exhibitions going on in various museums at the moment. I’ve recently had two trips in to the city, and saw a couple of very different shows, enjoyable for very different reasons. A couple of weekends ago, I met up with a friend to go to the Museum of London. … More Museums and Cakes
I have lost control of my Mr Jones Watches collection a little bit. A quick summary for those new to my obsession – London based Mr Jones creates the most beautiful watches, and is always coming up with new designs that I just have to own. I’m pretty sure I’m now up to 14 in … More Mr Jones Sample Sale 2018 and collection update!
Last weekend had all the makings of a disaster. I’ll take you back to October 2017. Flight of the Conchords had just announced a UK tour – their first since we saw them in 2010. The day the tickets went on sale, Ticketmaster revealed itself to be the truly awful garbage company it is, and we … More Flight of the Conchords – London 2018
I have learnt that if Tim offers me a spare ticket to a theatre show, I should say always say yes. Back in April, he text me to ask if I was interested in seeing Fun Home, and I hadn’t actually heard of it before but when I realised it was at the Young Vic, … More Fun Home at the Young Vic
Over the first May Bank Holiday, I managed to fit in a good amount of fun (I’ll be getting over jet lag for the second May Bank Holiday so I’m pleased I made the most of the first). My weekend started on the Friday night with a classic date night – theatre followed by dinner. … More Mood Music, Crafty Fox, and North Korean Art
