    I’ve been trying to take photos to show how my week has gone, and its only when I’ve put them all together like this that I’ve realised this week was about food! In terms of lunch, I’ve been pretty good!…

    Angry Birds – Apt Name

    August 3, 2010May 12, 2020

    My first games console was one of the original game boys, but I’d been playing things like centipede and space invaders on my atari (painstakingly loaded from a cassette drive. Kids today have no idea of slow loading times.) However,…

    Best Haul Video Ever

    I’ve never quite understood the whole “haul” video thing. I’m not really into vlogging at all, but haul videos just seem a bit too showy, showing off the latest purchases of make up and clothes. I switch off most blogs…

I’m determined in 2026 to finally post things I’ve I’m determined in 2026 to finally post things I’ve put off for ages, so why not start with a visit to Bend, OR back in 2022 and more specifically, visiting the last Blockbuster in the world 📼

Like any good elder millennial, a trip to Blockbuster felt pretty special back in the 90s, and it genuinely delighted me that this little store about 5,000 miles from home had the same decor and layout I remembered from 30 years ago. It really does feel like stepping straight into a time capsule, even with the new releases on the shelves actually being new releases.

Possibly the most exciting part though is that now I’m an adult with actual money, I can actually afford the snacks for sale 🍿 

If you’ve not already seen it, there’s a great documentary called The Last Blockbuster, which you can watch on Tubi, and if you ever find yourself in the area, it’s an absolute must-visit.

You know I love a throwback… 2016 was the final y You know I love a throwback…

2016 was the final year we fully lived in the UK, even though we didn’t know it at the time.

We gained a tiny pup (Jess), Alex bought the house we were renting (only to put it on the market nine months later when we moved to Seattle), and I actually posted to Instagram on a regular basis (mostly about the excellent lunches we ate – especially once Swoon opened and Deliveroo arrived in Bristol.)
All this chat about hockey lately reminded me that All this chat about hockey lately reminded me that I still hadn’t posted about the inaugural Seattle Torrent game, and I’ve been meaning to share it!

ICYMI, this time last year, the PWHL held their first-ever takeover tour game in Seattle. The response was so good it helped convince the league to bring an expansion team to the Emerald City (and one to Vancouver too).

Fast forward to November, and the Seattle Torrent played their first home game at Climate Pledge Arena the day after Thanksgiving, to an almost sell-out crowd (although tbh it felt fuller than a lot of Kraken games I’ve been to). My little sister was visiting that week from the UK, partly because this game was happening and partly because she really wanted the gravy boat giveaway from the Kraken game a few days earlier, so Alex and I took her along. Between the company, the occasion, and the energy in the arena, it was such a special night. The whole place was just full of girl joy! Sadly they didn’t get the win (or a goal…everyone was so excited to find out what the goal song would be!) but it was still just the best time. 

If you’ve never watched hockey before and want a place to start, the PWHL is a great place to start. Many games are at UK-friendly(ish) times, and every game is streamed for free on their YouTube channel (except for Canada, Czechia, and Slovakia for some reason).

I can’t wait to go to more games this season. Seattle girlies, this is an open invite if you’re looking for someone to go with 💙🏒
