Random – The Very Long Rambling Meaning Behind My Standard Bio
Let’s start here shall we – a very long ramble about I guess ‘me’, or as close as you get’ll on the internet 😉 So, on most of my social media, I have the same bio : “Three things about me: I love baseball, I hate celery, and I miss the sea.” Sounds flippant, simple […]
Books – Top 5 Favourites
So, I’ve done a Film top 5, a tv one, music ones.. but so far no books. Now you might be surprised if you know my lifelong love of reading, but it’s hard to pick 5 out of a lifetime..but I’m going to give it a try. PS. I have to admit my reading rate […]
Movies – Top 5 Favourites
I’m surprised that I haven’t posted my top 5 film list before.. ?as it’s been one of the easier top 5s to come up with as the top 4 have been fixed for decades really. ?Well the top 4 is easy, the 5th is harder.. ?and changes. ?Currently #5 is the one below, but who […]
Theatre – 2019 Plays – Ranked
In 2019 I managed to see 49 different productions, of which I saw one (Present Laughter) 10 times, and another (Betrayal) 5 times. It was a lot of 3 play weekends, which was unusual, mainly because there were so many plays that were good/I wanted to see. I don’t think the there will be as […]
Theatre – 2018 Plays – Ranked
In 2018 I managed to see 24 productions, of which I quite a few more than once – due to the quality. So many plays that I wish I could have captured for repeat experiencing. Each iteration was different, and special, which is why I love live theatre so much. The top 15 were all […]
Culture – My perfect London (cultural) week…
So March 2019 I was in London for a whole week, and I managed to get tickets to a different art event – play, music, poetry etc. – every night for the whole time. It was fantastic, and got me thinking – if I had 7 days where I could attend any play, gig, concert, […]
TV – Top 5 Favourites
….aka my “Desert Island TV” watching – where if I could only watch 5 shows for the rest of eternity, these would be the five I would pick. I could, and to be honest, have watched the below many many times, and so would find it very easy for eternity, ?However maybe one day some […]
Plays – Top 5 Favourites
Just seen the 2017 version of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead (New Statesman’s review here) and it’s put me in mind of other plays, and (being me) thinking of what would be in my Top 5. Unlike other media, it was actually fairly simple to come up with the list. ?Again, as with other lists, […]
Random – My Dream Dinner Party
Like a lot of people (really? ?maybe?) I often wonder about random topics, and one is ‘who would I have to a Dream Dinner Party’? This would be 6 people, irrespective if they are currently alive or not, who would come to a dinner party I’d host, and they should be?able to chat to each […]
Random – “So How On Earth Did You Get Into Baseball?”
One of the most asked questions when someone finds out my passions, interests, etc is “so how on earth did you get into baseball?” ? I guess it’s a relevant question… why?does a British woman love?a sport that is not even a blip on most of the UK’s radar. ?The history goes back a while… […]
Music – Wish I’d Been There
There are probably many gigs, concerts or other music events that you wish you’d been at… or perhaps you haven’t thought about it. ?I have (of course, you know me and lists!) and if I had access to my own Time Lord or TARDIS, here are the top few of mine I’d give (nearly) anything […]
