It’s time for my blog to take a break. No big deal, just that sometimes blogging is fun and every now and then it’s less fun. I’m going to stop posting for a bit until I feel like it again. In the meantime, I can be found almost everywhere else on the internet, including Twitter,… Continue reading Hiatus
Here’s a rare exaple of me: 1) breaking my book buying ban for something that isn’t a book club choice and 2) reading the new book within 6 months of acquiring it. Persepolis had been on my radar for ages and I definitely planned to read it at some point. I saw it was on… Continue reading Book review: The Complete Persepolis

I’d been feeling a bit stuck in a rut with my GlossyBox subscription and I was looking for something new, something that suited me better. He found this service and asked if I was… Continue reading Reading in Heels
Last weekend P and I celebrated having spent 6 years together (I know, I’m still reeling too). We’d booked into the lovely Nira Caledonia for an evening spent drinking prosecco in a hot tub but hadn’t bothered to book a restaurant. One advanatage of having an anniversary in January is that we rarely do need… Continue reading Dinner at Papavero, Edinburgh
