Let’s gooooooooooooo! The NFL is back baby! I’m trying to be American, is it working? I’ll stop. I’ve really enjoyed watching the NFL for a long time now. It started years ago when I wasn’t really up to much on a Sunday and was trying to find something to watch on the telly and stumbledContinue reading “The NFL”

Nostalgia
I’ve been thinking about a post on nostalgia for a long time. Almost long enough for me to look back fondly on what I initially thought about it. See what I did there? As I grow older, I honestly don’t feel that nostalgic about stuff, or I suppose I enjoy a little bit of nostalgia,Continue reading “Nostalgia”
Colonel Update – Long Read
So the last ‘Update’ post I wrote was in August 2022. As I’m sure you’ve just realised, that’s like a whole year ago. A lot has gone on in this last year, so I thought it was time to bring them back for a little update. I believe this is the sixth ‘Update’ post I’veContinue reading “Colonel Update – Long Read”
Netball – Long Read
You might be surprised to know that I used to play netball. It was soooooo much fun. I started in middle school against the girl’s team at lunch. We used to get involved in their practices and play against them as a team of boys. Apparently it helped, because our school team was quite good.Continue reading “Netball – Long Read”
Those Who Stand for Nothing, Fall for Anything
If you’ve been reading the blog since the beginning, you’ll know that I love the musical Hamilton. In fact you can read my post from 7 May 2021 about how enamoured I am by this particular musical by clicking the button below. It was my third ever post! If you stand for nothing, Burr, what’llContinue reading “Those Who Stand for Nothing, Fall for Anything”
A Cricket Match for My Dad
On Sunday 16 July 2023 there was a memorial cricket match for my Dad. It was a great day and the weather didn’t cause us too many troubles. It rained for about an hour and we had to shorten the game for both teams, but we managed to get thirty overs in per side, whichContinue reading “A Cricket Match for My Dad”
The Arts
I bloody love ‘the arts.’ I wouldn’t be the person I am today without the theatre. I spend a lot of time in them watching, supporting, acting that without this artform I’d be someone else and somewhere else entirely. I’m a drama llama. Without podcasts keeping me company, music filling my life, tv and moviesContinue reading “The Arts”
Climate Change Is Real
The fact that the title of this post is mildly controversial in current discourse is mind blowing. The effort going on to ensure that there is doubt about climate change and its negative effects on the planet we call home is disgusting. So let’s get this out of the way first. Climate change is real,Continue reading “Climate Change Is Real”
The Ocean at the End of the Lane – Review
Where do I begin with this one? I was lucky enough to see the theatrical production of The Ocean at the End of the Lane last summer just as it was finishing its run in London. In the beginning it was a novel written by Neil Gaiman and published in 2013. And now it isContinue reading “The Ocean at the End of the Lane – Review”
Sisu – A Review
I popped along to Northampton Filmhouse last week to watch Sisu, a Finnish action thriller flick, filmed in the English Language. I’ve spoken about the Filmhouse before and I’m going to recommend it again. Loads of room, comfy reclining seats, a wide range of films to watch, including some stone cold classics. Check out whatContinue reading “Sisu – A Review”
