Paradox Museum – 30/10/24
Welcome to Day #10 of the ever-lasting half term. Eva’s out there in the dark streets, covered in watermelon juice and begging for sweets from strangers. Standard stuff. But while it seems that we’ve given up on parenting today, I … Continue reading
“Holst – The Planets” at the Royal Albert Hall – 21/09/24
It was Nathan’s birthday recently. I won’t say which number it was but it wasn’t a very major one…..more like a stopping point between major ones. Nevertheless, we’ve made the most of the celebrations, starting with an outdoor cinema trip … Continue reading
Dopamine Land – 03/08/24
I seem to have a bit of a curse at the moment where I’m writing about things no one will soon be able to go to. As soon as I reviewed Fox in a Box, they announced they were closing. … Continue reading

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

“Christmas at Kew” – 06/01/24
Happy New Year! I realise it’s in no way Christmas any more – although Eva tells me that “Fishmas” carries on until February – but yesterday we went for one last shot of Christmas joy before settling into dreary January. … Continue reading
I Just Want to Tell You How I’m Feeling…..
Tired. But that’s not the main point of this post. In fact, there are a few things I want to tell you about but don’t worry, we’ll come back to the post title eventually. First though, let me tell you … Continue reading
BBC Earth Experience – 08/08/23
Ever wondered what it would be like to visit the Planet Earth? Well, now you can find out but be warned – you have to go to West Brompton first and that’s as tricky to get to as Mercury. Which … Continue reading
Blur at Wembley – 09/07/23
It probably seems like everyone you know, who is of a certain age, went to see Blur at Wembley last week. Well, we did too. I’d had terrible FOMO when all my friends seem to be at Pulp the week … Continue reading
