Having recently re-watched the film Amelie, where the characters spoke of Princess Diana, and also recently walking through Kensington Gardens; I'm reminded of my visit to Kensington Palace a couple of years ago. I'm also reminded of this visit, because at the time there was an exhibition of Princess Diana's fashion and style. We were members [...]
Recently we saw the musical Amelie, based on the 2001 French film co-written and directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. I saw the film over 10 years ago and vaguely remembered the plotline, so when seeing the musical I was pleasantly reminded of some things.

Spring has sprung and it's May already - my birthday month. Reading back on my daily gratitudes, and I'm reminded that so much has happened! How was this all in one month? A lot of entertainment was consumed: films, TV, books, podcasts. Went down Memory Lane for a little too, which was not unexpected as [...]
I'll be turning 30 soon - very soon. I've never had an issue with getting older, but this year seems different. I didn't have a quarter life crisis that came with turning 25 - maybe it's the pandemic, or living in lockdown. As I tried to reconcile with this angst, I realise that maybe I'm [...]
