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 [...]

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 [...]

Play Me I’m Yours

Thats not literally an offer, thats the name of this project! New Colston Hall foyer To celebrate the opening of the new and (literally) shiny foyer at Colston Hall, the council have sponsored (erm, I think? Not sure of the right term!) the artist Luke Jerram to place some pianos (the website says 20 will [...]

Happy September!

Not just because its my birthday month (did I mention its nearly my birthday and I like shiny things?) but because it was always the start of the new school year, and a time to hope that the next 9 [...]

A Day In My Life

Thursday 21st May The morning always starts with a brew Waiting at Bristol Temple Meads to go to work I wouldn’t survive the work day without my giant cup

Snooooow (part whatever)

I’m almost tired of seeing this on my Dashboard: I say almost because I am a big kid really Bristol has been hit quite badly by these snow storms, and I am beginning to forget what it is like to be able to walk down the road without slipping a little bit. I’ve been one [...]

Snow, part 2

So I woke up this morning to a TwitterFon full of my London/South East friends all gloating that they had been building snowmen and having snowball fights at 2am while I was snug in my little bed. I looked at the iPhone weather thing, and once again Bristol was predicted to have snow. I turned [...]

No Snow

Its been so so cold in Bristol lately, so when I woke up this morning, as usual I checked my Twitter, checked my emails and then checked the weather widget thing on my iPhone. I was far far too excited to see this: Look at that! A pretty little dusting of snow for today (also, [...]
