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 took [...]

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 off [...]

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 on the [...]

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 on.

Purple Confetti, [...]

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 [...]

Review – Zerodegrees

For my birthday, I was lucky enough to be taken by Louise and Nathan to ZeroDegrees, a microbrewery located on Park Row in Bristol.

I hadn’t been to ZeroDegrees before, although had sampled their beers at various Bristol festivals and had passed the building many times. Despite this, I was still a little surprised to see [...]

Review – Rocotillos

I thought I’d start off my Bristol reviews thing with the place where I have been the most, and where I take most of my friends. But thats because its SO DAMN GOOD.
Rocotillos is an American diner located at the top of Park Street. Its a tiny tiny place (seating about 30 people?) and serves [...]
