This Week
I finally got my side of the office all sorted out, and its lovely! The downside of course is that I have the office chair that the dog likes to sleep on, which means I often end up with a spaniel in the way. I’ve sorted out most of the house, so its just the [...]
Big Screens in Bristol
Whilst it is rare to find a drive thru cinema in the UK (boo!), we do have some outdoor screens this month in Bristol. Firstly, theres the giant screen being constructed in Queens Square just in time to show the World Cup games. As someone who doesn’t really care about football, this one just annoys [...]
Review – Goldbrick House
So I’ve been meaning to review the wonderful Goldbrick House since last August when we went for our Accounting Geek Reunion 2 and loved it lots then. However, I’m a lazy arse. I thought you guys knew this by now? Friday was Alex’s (sorry, aka The Boy) birthday, so as part of his celebrations, I [...]
Review: Sleeping Beauty
On Monday, I was very lucky enough to be given a ticket to see the ballet Sleeping Beauty at the Hippodrome. The week before, Kate asked via Twitter if any one would be interested in going with her, as she has won two tickets. We were sat in the grand circle, quite central but just [...]
Fuck Yeah Bristol
Even after nearly 3 years of living in Bristol (both in my year out, and now), I’ll see a view of Bristol (in real life or in a photo or video) and just think “I love this city”. Its not just views though. Bristol has a lot of talented people either from here or living [...]
I Am A Lady
Bristol City Council seem to have recognised that I am far more important than being a mere “Miss” Next step: becoming a Dame. But only if I get to swan about wearing a crown. Or wear a cape. I’m not too fussy.
On The Move!
This suitcase is far better traveled than I. The story can be read here. After many months of being put off, the flatmate (Max) and I are moving to a new little house, pretty much around the corner from where we are now. Yay! Just in time really, as we have been without electric lights [...]
Oops, Spangles
One of the problems with working on the Triangle in Clifton is that I’m very close to some of my favourite shops (JoY, Borders and Cath Kidston to name a few). Another problem is that since Cabot Circus opened, more stores in Broadmead and Cabot Circus are open until 8pm. This turns out to be [...]
The Good, The Bad…
…and something else I know, it’s been a bit quiet around here. That’s partly because I’ve been pretty unwell for a few weeks, but also because I’ve been going out a lot more (please note, I am not complaining about going out.) Here’s a bit of a post where I almost mention what’s been going [...]
Review – Cosmo
For my other birthday meal, a few of us headed up to Cosmo on the Clifton Triangle. Cosmo opened up at the beginning of the year, but we hadn’t really had the chance to go there before. I’d never been to an “all you can eat” place before, so it was all a little strange [...]
