I read Jezebel. I know, shocking right? So I have been well aware of the buzz around Obvious Child. It was definitely on my “to see” list but I expected to wait a really long time to see it. However after my visit to the BFI a couple of weeks ago, I noticed that they … More Just out, doing some light stalking
Husband and I had such a great day yesterday for his birthday. It started as all good birthdays should, with present opening. Lego and whisky were the main themes of his gifts from me this year, and as I sit typing this post, he’s tipping the contents of his Maersk Triple E box on to the … More Hot dog surprise – be still my heart.
Last weekend, after our amazing visit to Present and Correct pumped us up, Tim and I decided to have a bit more of a wander around Angel and Islington. I really liked what we find. Really liked it. I’ve said before that I’m not a big fan of London but everything about this area appealed … More Stumbling through irrelevant crowds to make their rendezvous
London is a vast and varied place but I tend to stick to the bits I know – The South Bank, Soho and Covent Garden, every now and again Shepherds Bush and Greenwich. Unless I’m going to a gig or exhibition, I rarely explore further afield – there needs to be a pretty damn good … More There’s a beauty out there, you just gotta know where
Finally, the Prince Charles Cinema got ahold of the Veronica Mars Movie, so I of course jumped at the opportunity to see the film in my favourite cinema seat in the UK. Tim was kind enough to come with me, despite the fact the poor lamb seemed exhausted, and I met him after work in Soho … More You got spirit, yes you do!
In the bright spring sunshine, I took a drive to see my BFF’s brand new amazing digs in south London. I donated a vintage Poang (yes, vintage), had a nosey around, poured a bucket of scorn on his bookshelf organisation, and we then went for a wander to explore his new neighbourhood. And I love his … More Let the seasons turn
Exactly a year ago, I was pledging a good proportion of overdue back pay into the Veronica Mars Movie Kickstarter. I had expected to get my poster, t-shirt – all the goodies I was promised – but I could only hope to get a good film. I had lowered my expectations – TV shows rarely … More A teenage Private Eye – trust me, I know how dumb that sounds
I have been trying to get tickets for Adam Buxton’s BUG for such a long time. I’ve either been out of the country, away for work, or the tickets have sold out before I got to them, and for a while it felt like I was destined to never see BUG live. So when my … More BUG 41
I am on the verge of a food coma after an amazing afternoon tea at the Hilton Syon Park. We’ve been once before for my Mother-in-law’s birthday and I wanted to take my parents as a post-Christmas present, so almost a year later, we found ourselves back again. It used to be a Waldorf Astoria, … More …they’re going to force us to eat lots of cake and then take an unreasonably long nap.
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
