You’re a SeekerYou’re open to new things, and can be persuaded to try anything twice, all in the name of experience of course. We’ve got you down as a bit of a dreamer, you’re probably zoning out right now, PAY ATTENTION, and read on.

Having seen Jordan Peele’s “Get Out”, I was expecting another amazing thriller filled with a good twist, loads of humour and a good scare. What I got instead was an artsy attempt filled with too many rabbits and overlay chorus.
This review contains spoilers so if you want to watch the movie, don’t read on.

Gardening Tip #1: This time of year, we’re tired of winter. We are anxious to get our hands into some dirt. One of the biggest mistakes we make with our indoor starts, is to allow our anxiousness to translate into planting indoor starts too early. See the back of the seed packet. It usually tells you the number of weeks to start seeds before setting them outdoors.

This wonderful tour explores the legacy of the Renaissance in the three pre-eminent cities of science at the time – Florence, Pisa and Bologna. The tour will look at the wondrous collections, buildings and churches that demonstrate the burgeoning of knowledge of the period without which our more recent scientific history would have been very different.
Since ROH is playing La Traviata tonight, I decided to share my favourite piece of Opera, sang by a 9-year old initially for Holland’s Got Talent and then picked up by Andre Rieu.

Oh my beloved father, Oh yes, I really love him. My love for which I suffer, |
I hope everybody got drunk, had their share of singing and dancing and decided that the next year will be better than the last.
As for me?
I enjoyed a bit of Bailey’s, a good book and slept until the fireworks started and then slept some more afterwards.
2019 is finally here and I can see myself making mistakes when writing down the dates for at least three months.
Personal accomplishments for 2018?
Even better, I finished two 55km marathons for charity and one super duper hard trail two days ago. I destroyed one pair of hiking boots, had massive blisters that took weeks to clear and I have reached and gone over my physical endurance limits many times.

You should too! What’s the best from 2018? What are you expecting in 2019?

My friends did a runner on me this Christmas but thankfully my work buddies got me amazing gifts. How to make your cat famous on the internet, Cat Lady multiplayer game and Cat ear muffs with a lovely mug that says Paws Off.
I think I mentioned I really love cats!

Inappropriate cats
What I knew none of my people would get me, I got myself: switchblades, marine issued butterfly knives and one amazing military grade titanium blade. Yep, cute and deadly.
And since I’m a Star Wars fan, I found a Where’s Wally edition with wookie!
