Slightly later than usual with the weekly round-up – due to an unexpected little seis last night with a visiting relative whose Scottish accent had me transfixed until 2 am :-D. It’s always wonderful when you meet someone new and find that you can’t stop talking with them. So I am afraid, the regular publication time…
This is not a distraction post. Quite frankly, I am delighted that Mr A has chosen to go political on us, *especially* after his latest delete-fest. *Any* time is a time for taking a political stand, but maybe I am particularly primed for it as Ireland is in the last 24 hours before its general…
Berl-in. Berlin in February is grey. Cold. Wet. Four days of continuous rain. If you think I should be used to that from Ireland then you are wrong. In Ireland, rain is seldom continuous. It lets up. It may rain every day. But only intermittently. Not so in Berlin. Rain. Rain. And more rain. But…
Do we need some distRAction today??? I am not yet back home, but some shock ripples have reached me on my last half day, just before I’m heading to the airport. Let’s remember we’re all in it for the fun…
A quick apology at the beginning. You are reading a shortened, slightly premature version of the weekly tumblr round-up, caused by my short absence due to a mini-break in a major European city. So while you are reading this, I am frolicking on the continent, enjoying big city buzz (and possibly some fangirling in RT and RL…
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. Are you having a good day? It’s sunny where I am, and even though my loved one is not on hand (and Mr A not standing in, either 😉 ), I am in top mood. A few new pictures of RA, fresh from the Berlinale – thanks to Nimue, who pointed…
It is to be expected that this week’s round-up is brimming with Valentine’s love. Plenty of Valentine’s cards. Well, you can never have enough pictures of Richard with a cheesy chat-up line on them. They make you laugh. And isn’t that the best thing in the world? Without further ado, here’s your weekly instalment of…
As I have found so often, inspiration comes from the unlikeliest of sources… Every year for Christmas, the cher Mr Guylty receives a box of Mon Chéri chocolates from his mother-in-law. Every year he accepts it graciously, sparing my mother the truth that she is giving the gift under the misconception that he is particularly partial to the…
It is slightly ironic that I am today bringing a little fandom love initiative to your attention that mainly played out on Twitter. Ironic – because it coincides with my annual cleansing exercise/challenge. Despite no religious affiliation, I take Lent as an opportunity to challenge myself to give up a few things that I enjoy too…
This week is all love love luuuuuurv… Valentine’s Day is just ahead, and little love hearts are floating all around, already 💕. It’s not quite coincidence that it is this week that I am feeling the love, too. After the success of the #RichieHolidaySwap, plushie queen @_sinnamin organised a #RichieValentineSwap, and love-ly gifts were due this week. And I…
