We were gifted tickets to The Play That Goes Wrong in exchange for this review, words and pictures are mine. I’ve taken my kids to theatre shows before, but so far only ones specifically aimed at children. They’ve enjoyed them and I have loved taking them, but the shows themselves are often a bit dry (or entirely unbearable) for adults

This morning I was at the gym. I haven’t talked about it much on my blog because I don’t want to become an abhorrent fitness wanker (let’s be honest, unless you fell over on the treadmill no one cares about your workout, sorry), but in the last year or so I’d categorise myself as a regular gym-goer.

You can see all house updates here. Contains affiliate links. I was sitting in my lovely front room last night, having a cup of decaf tea and watching the Sex and the City reboot (no idea why I’ve just needlessly admitted to that, to be honest) and I realised that it’s been ages – over a month – since I last

Disclaimer: We received complimentary tickets for the Paddington Lo-Commotion experience at Blenheim Palace to review free of charge, but words and pictures are mine. This Saturday just gone it happened to be my partner’s birthday and, as any right-thinking person in their mid-40s would clearly choose to, we decided to go to Blenheim Palace to see this summer’s ‘Paddington Lo-Commotion’

We were gifted tickets to this performance of Shitfaced Shakespeare: Much Ado About Nothing but words and pictures are my own. You may well think that Shakespeare has been done to death. There are no end of earnest and traditional productions of various quality, and many of Shakespeare’s plays have been jazzed up and modernised, recognising that the average person
