Sunday Sunday Here Again
It’s a Sunday afternoon before a Bank Holiday and I am doing nothing in particular but it’s given me time to write about what we got up to the last Sunday before a Bank Holiday. Which was also nothing very exciting … Continue reading
Legoland – 04/05/24
It’s been a couple of years since our last trip to Legoland but as soon as I started planning, I remembered the drill. Harvester breakfast, check: We still miss the pre-Covid buffet but you can’t dwell on the past indefinitely. … Continue reading
“Paws on the Wharf” – 06/04/24
So this might be an unusual post for me because I’ve got lots of pictures and not too much to say whereas I normally rabbit on for pages about complete nonsense. This time though, the story is simple – we … Continue reading
“Playing Shakespeare with Deutsche Bank: Romeo and Juliet” at The Globe – 03/04/24
It’s funny – when someone mentions a modern-day adaptation of “Romeo and Juliet”, a lot of people my age will automatically think of the 1996 Baz Luhrmann version. I even saw it mentioned on Facebook just the other day. But … Continue reading
The LWAT Guide to “The LWAT Guide to Completing the London Metro Memory Game…Kinda”

“Stranger Things: The First Shadow” at the Phoenix Theatre – 01/03/24
What to say about Stranger Things on stage that won’t constitute spoilers? And if I do spill any spoilers, will a shady government organisation come and make me disappear? It seems likely. What I can say is that the queuing … Continue reading
Accidentally Wes Anderson – 24/02/24
It was my birthday this week and, as a serial complainer about birthdays, I decided to organise a few things to try and make this one go well. But seeing as my birthdays have been serially bad, I didn’t want … Continue reading

“The Everywhere Bear” at Little Angel Theatre – 10/02/24
This is the second time I’ve been to see “The Everywhere Bear” so please forgive me if I repeat myself. I feel like I do that a lot anyway. The first time was during a particularly traumatic week in 2018 … Continue reading
