Glossy and Trashy

One of the things I buy too much of are magazines. It seems that all at once, every magazine has things I want to read, and I end up buying a few in a week to devour. It of course doesn’t help that quite a few of my prefered magazines are now weekly publications.
I’ve recently [...]

Even Dwarves Started Small

Spotted on a traffic light near Temple Meads. It made me smile anyway.

An Actual FAQ! (Just the one)

I’ve had quite a few people asking me the same sorts of questions lately, mostly about how I have this blog set up (and also about what happened to my feet. They were cut up quite badly from wearing a pair of Birkenstocks. I thought they were meant to be comfortable?)
Anyway, when I write and [...]

Review: Black Kids @ Thekla 210808

Last Thursday, I was lucky enough to get tickets to see the Black Kids at one of my favourite venues ever, the Thekla. The history of the Thekla is actually quite interesting - originally built to transport lumber, she was found abandoned in Sunderland, and was sailed round to Bristol in 6 days and 6 [...]

I Refuse To Use “Wrong” and “Trousers” In This Title

As some of you may know, I am VERY bloody well excited for the opening of Cabot Circus, an enormous shopping centre that is due to open in Bristol city centre next month. I mean, I was already pretty bloody well excited. But seeing these photos made me about 10 million times more excited

The Crystal Maze and Other Awesome Shows Of My Childhood

Thanks to our ridiculous amount of channels (yay for Virgin), I have found some of my favourite old shows on Challenge including the Crystal Maze.
It used to be one of the shows that my sister, mum and I would sit down to watch at dinner time (Dad would often be working away) . We loved [...]

Tweet Tweet!

For those of you who haven’t yet used Twitter, or don’t know what it is, I guess the best way to describe it to most people is a combination of blogging and updating your status on Facebook (in fact, you can do that via Twitter anyway). There are so many ways to “tweet”, such as [...]

Puh- Puh- Puh- POLAROID!

I love my Polaroid camera. Love it!
I’d been wanting one since, well, since I was about 7 years old and found out what a Polaroid camera was. I managed to get one quite cheaply last year on eBay, and since then I haven’t really used it that much because film is quite expensive. However, when [...]

Four Feet

When you’re younger, the term “best friend” is used so loosely. “You’ll be my best friend if you let me share your sweets” “Me and my best friend made up this song about crisps to the tune of Any Dream Will Do” (that one is actually true. Boughton Heath was an odd primary school.)
I was [...]
