Reaper Man

I apologise now if you've never read a Terry Pratchett (though if not why not?!), in particular Reaper Man cos this post's going to seem very random!
I love taking a break from my other books piled up waiting to be read to grab the next Terry Pratchett in the list. His books are brill & are written in such a great way I sit there on the tube giggling away. They're also perfect pocket or small bag size which is even more of a win!

At the moment I'm ploughing my way through Reaper Man & each time I walk past the shopping trolley that downstairs so thoughtfully hang their socks off to dry (don't even get me started!) it leads me to think about Ridcully, the Bursar, the Archchancellor & the Dean fighting off all the trolleys in Ankh-Morpork (told you it was going to get weird!).
I was a little bit nervous to take the trolley round Asda last night in case it came alive & we swore in surprise & in turn that created a swarm of black shiny bugs around us that increased with each curse, as you do.

I really hope there's at least one other Prachett fan who knows what on earth I'm going on about otherwise I may never post again & instead will be locked away in some loony bin! Either that or I need more sleep?!

Ladies what #ldnlunch

Image
After a few deep breaths I plucked up the courage to walk into the Jetlag bar in Fitzrovia & meet some fellow blogging lovelies. I'd first heard about Ldnlunch On Eloise's blog . I'd always wanted to go to a blogger meet so I put my name down straight away. I was a bit nervous when I realised there were about 40 other girls going who's blogs were mainly about fashion, whereas mine is just random ramblings from inside my brain box but decided I'd still go seeing as I had nothing to lose! I arrived expecting to be early but there were already lots of people sitting down for drinks & food so I grabbed a drink & perched on a pooffe. I just ordered a bowl of chips (how adventurous!) but I did pick off the plates around me (yoink! Thanks Lois! ). There were mixed responses to the rather tentacle-y calamari (I have some hilarious snaps of Jazzy eating the tentacles but I'm here to make friends not enemies so those will be shared between the 2 of us &am

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we&#

Londoners pt1

Image
For Chrimbo Adam gave me a book called "Londoners. The days & nights of London now - as told by those who love it, hate it, live it, left it & long for it" by Craig Taylor. After reading the introduction & before reading any more I decided I'd think about what London & being a Londoner means to me. Even though I picked out bullet points I still got a bit carried away so I'll spread it over a few posts so here goes part 1, I'll start with the one thing that I think of straight away when someone says London to me: ~ the tube is a huge part of London life. It's about sitting on a train for an hour & not knowing what any one's face looks like only their shoes, panic attacks when the train gets stuck in a tunnel without explanation, keeping left, standing on the right spot on a platform so you'll be in front of the doors when they open & also so when you get off you'll be at the exit to the station - even if that exit says no ent
