  • Playlist | #EmergencyDanceParty

    “That was the protocol back home. When things were getting too intense one of the would stand on the bed and pretend to pull an imaginary lever, a giant switch set in the air, and shout, ‘Emergency Kanye Party!’ And then it was the other person’s job to run to the computer and start the Emergency Kanye playlist. And then they’d both jump around and dance and shout Kanye West lyrics until they felt better.”

    – Fangirl, Rainbow Rowell

    Ok who’s feeling the Tuesday blues right now? If you are I have three words for you. Emergency. Dance. Party.

    Part inspired by the genius scene in Fangirl where Cath jams the feck out to Kanye West, and partly inspired by Linda Barsi’s frankly fantastic Dance Recess video a while back, it’s time to dance away the Tuesday blues people (or Wednesday blues…heck even the Friday blues, cause we all know those happen sometimes too). Throw those curtains shut. Turn that music up. And shake it off baby, shake it off.

    You’re handy dandy playlist is below – personally curated by moi. It’s a total melting pot of genres and all with the aim of getting you on your feet. Enjoy!

  • Travels | Kings Cross & The British Museum

    ~ "Harry I'm Comin' Home" ~

    In lieu of taking any solo trips this year I decided to make an impromptu decision to take a day off work for some ‘me-time’ away from home in London.

    The initially – totally selfish – purpose to want to take September 1st off was to tick off something that’s been on the bucket list for a while…be at Kings Cross to Platform 9 & 3/4 at 11am on the first day of school at Hogwarts. I had been before when they were still doing all those renovation works to the station a few years ago and took my photo on the trolley that had previously been placed there. I wasn’t sure what to expect this time – Owls around the station? A gaggle of ginger kids being shepherded past Costa? Kids trying to lug trunks out of London cabs?
