So funny. We had previously seen The Play That Goes Wrong, which was brilliant, and Mischief Theatre now have this hilarious show too. It is, you guessed it, a comedy about a bank robbery. Set in 1950's Minneapolis a convict escapes prison with his guard-friend to steal a diamond in a bank, but nothing ever [...]

Sun Salutation
Your rays ring through the evergreen trees casting different shapes and shadows, your warm arms wrap around to envelop me, Humming as I rock to and fro wistfully. I see why the pagans worshipped you, and why the yogis still salute their day to you. Through closed eyes you still pierce through, Smiling, soothing, passing [...]
Dover Castle
We visited Dover Castle recently and it was a great place to spend the day - there is so much history that I didn't know about. We spent about 5 hours there, which we were not expecting, and it was such a nice day out that I wanted to write a post if anyone is [...]

And that's what happened: I'm onto Mockingjay already. I finally upgraded my old Nokia and now have a smart phone, more on that later, [...]
