This is me, dressed as some kind of rock. I am a hybrid of Cabbage Patch Kid and Transformer (robot in disguise). My hair has been carefully matted into ridges across my head and then the knots have been sealed in with flat-irons to ensure that they are as difficult...
This week I watched the oddest film. Now, don't get me wrong - I'd say that I'm moderately well-versed with my films. I understand genre, I "get" arty, I try to appreciate the conceptual and the bizarre. With that in mind: Only God Forgives - HUH? I had been warned...
Two quick pics for you here: the first was the view from my table at the Duck & Waffle, the second is a photograph of my dinner that I had at the Duck & Waffle a few weeks ago which was, as you may have guessed by now, a Duck & Waffle. Crispy-skinned...
In this relentless heat, there are few garments as handy as the maxi dress. The maxi has barely any actual contact with the skin, if you get a good floaty one, so it's kind of like being naked. I'd recommend wearing knickers though, just in case there's a sudden...
Candle, meet readers. Readers, meet candle. He's huge. He should be called Goliath. He's not as big as one of those huge Diptyque ones, but he's definitely about twice the size of your typical, three-wick candle. (I have become something of a candle obsessive this...
I love my Rory Dobner cat cushion. I bought it last year, if you remember, but I only get it out on special occasions because it's white and I don't want to have to wash it! The rest of the time it's in the wardrobe wrapped in a protective parcel of paper, ribbon and...
Thoughts on this, pet owners: a GPS tracker for your cat or dog. There's a new pet gadget in town and it's called the G-Paws - as seen on The Secret Life of the Cat, which I have yet to watch. (It's on my list: I'm waiting until I have a nice night in with a glass of...
Neom Luxury Organics have brought out a rather fabulous candle for the summer. Enchantment is a very pretty combination of Bluebell, Rose and Guaiacwood (I copied-and-pasted that last word!) and it's made extra-special by its white glass housing and wooden candle cap....
I have just finished reading Kate Atkinson's Life After Life and the moment I turned the last page, I went onto Amazon and ordered a copy for my Mum. It's excellent. I won't give too much away, because I think that it's always nice to have an element of surprise when...
Do you know, I've never tasted Earl Grey? I have absolutely no idea what it would be like. I haven't ever drunk a cup of proper tea (non-herbal stuff) and I've only ever once sipped a bit of coffee. But I quite like coffee chocolates and Tiramisu, and I...
I am currently amusing myself by taking pictures of my sleeping cat and making them look like crime scenes. See above. They tend to work really well if you put them through Instagram and hit that little sunshine (contrast) button above the effects - it gives a very...
Just in case you haven't had the misfortune of using a toilet with a faraway door, and have absolutely no clue what I'm on about, let me explain. A toilet with a faraway door is almost exclusively to be found in dodgy old pubs, hotels and restaurants that have been...
