I feel like if I was to go into
detail about the whole of the last two months we’d be here a while so I’ll just
give you a couple of highlights.
.
What I
did:
·
I
had a weekend in Edinburgh with my friend Natalie where we ate and drank and
shopped and stopped up til 2am watching Freddie Mercury on YouTube.
·
I
SAW DARREN CRISS IN CONCERT. If you’re new around here then you may be unaware
of how hard I love Darren Criss. I made my bestie promise that if he ever
toured in the UK she’d go with me. AND THEN HE DID (with Lea Michele) and it
was incredible. Such raw talent from both of them.
·
I
had the most wonderful festive afternoon tea with my bestie and our respective
mothers and Helen’s little girl Molly. Molly is three and so Christmas was
magic for her this time and it was ADORABLE.
·
I
had ‘fake Christmas’ with some good friends – present opening and the Strictly
final and board games and a Christmas dinner. Perf.
·
My pal
Mark played Dr Doolittle in Dr Doolittle and
was amazing. I was proud.
·
One
of my colleagues had a fancy dress party – I was Velma from Scooby Doo.
·
CHRISTMAS:
Christmas Eve and morning with my bestie, which was lush lush lush, home to
watch Chalet Girl with the kittens and then Christmas Dinner with my family,
again: lush. We built lego and raced Santas and it was excellent.
·
On
Boxing Day I flew to Geneva to be reunited with my best guy. We ate tartiflette
and skied and went to an excellent New Year’s Eve party and generally had The
Best Time.
·
WE WENT
TO PARIS. Oh my goodness gracious though, that city. I was not at all prepared
to fall so hard and so fast. I’m already desperate to go back.
·
I
saw The Producers in Manchester with
my Helen and The Mothers.
·
My
Best Guy and I snuck off back to France for two days on the slopes which was
amazing; I think I did my best skiing ever.

I read:
I
listened to:
Radio Mont Blanc and all the
Christmas playlists!
I
watched:
Chalet Girl and The Princess
Switch. Riverdale. The Bodyguard. The Snow Wolf. David Attenborough’s Dynasties.
The Marvellous Mrs Maisel. Les Miserables, Grace and Frankie. You. Other stuff that I cannot remember because it's been so long.
I can recommend You though - I was gripped from start to finish. Also if you can find The Snow Wolf on iPlayer, we loved that.

Bookish plans for February
I’ve
just read Enchantee and I’m reading Ruin and Rising right now and listening
to The Music Shop on audiobook. I want
to read The Scent of Death, Blackberry
and Wild Rose, The Last, Beautiful Broken Things and Fierce Fragile Hearts. And if I have time A Love Story for Bewildered Girls. We’ll see how that goes.
