How things have changed in 20 years!
20 years ago today Warren Wilson from Woy Woy arrived in London with a just backpack looking for an adventure & a change in life ✈️
And at this pub he had his very first pint in London 🍺 so it was back again tonight for some nostalgia 🍺
Normalise going to the theatre by yourself
I love going by myself and enjoying the show in own way
Loads of times people have spoken to me and/or looked at me in pity
I’m here by myself by choice. I enjoy my own company. You should try it.
A little rant because I feel sad!😅
When I sat down at Choir of Man tonight there was a couple sat next to me. I could feel the women keep looking at me and then she eventually says ‘where are your friends? are you all not sat together?’ and my personal favourite which was… 1/8
@SarahMillican75
By myself today as the other half is a nurse working long shifts yesterday, today & tomorrow. A lot of people work on Christmas & have to leave their families. I have the dinner to cook later - I’ve been given instructions! 🦃

Last day in San Francisco 🌉

When you book the perfect seat for a solo theatre trip!
An aisle seat … and yet no one to push past you if they’re late or need a wee!

Day one in San Francisco & it’s a visit to the dog park with Oscar 🐶
Doggie treats are banned but we all made new friends
@dog_rates
- Oscar was so well behaved! At least a 12/10
I’m not sure how something can be the absolutely worst musical I’ve ever seen and yet at the same time be AMAZING
Yet here we are 🎼
Diabolical lyrics. Paper thin characterisation. All performed with 100% conviction!
Diana the musical is everything I expected and less/more 👑
No BA we’re not paying an extra £23 each for seats so we can sit together
It’s a 2 hour flight. And we both got ‘random’ window seats anyway 😉
People always slag off Ryanair for charging for extras but all airlines do it
Maybe if Anthony had more time .. if someone hadn’t hogged the decorators so much .. he’d be ok. I would’ve thrown her under the bus!
#interiordesignmasters
Reality TV ‘star’ who’s been out of the limelight a while seeks attention by trying to shame an airline employee for doing their job.
Oh do fuck off ... the bratty kid shouldn’t have been standing on the seat.
Seeing the Pet Shop Boys tonight at the Wembley Arena … which is exciting!
Less exciting are the drinks prices
£7.15 for a 330ml can of Heineken
£16.25 for a double Gordon’s gin & mixer
I don’t go to a lot of gigs but this feels like taking the piss 🤷♂️
Thus ends a wonderful day. Laid back & casual - just what we wanted. 💍
Thank you to everyone who sent loving wishes, messages, cards & presents. Your generosity has been overwhelming.
Now it’s honeymoon time! ☀️🏖🍺🍸
Why pay for overpriced beer in a pub when you can have a much cheaper

Why is it so difficult for people to board a plane? 🤷♂️
Your ticket has row. Find the row.
Your ticket has a letter. Find it in the row. There’s only six seats to choose from.
And sit the fuck down 👊🏻
From “Nobody’s Side”
To “Pity The Child”
To “I know him so well”
To “One night in Bangkok”
And the amazing “Anthem”

The ongoing excavations mean there’s always some new (well .. about 2,000 years old - but new for us to see).
The preservation of the finds is amazing.

This includes the bride finding out for herself by accessing his emails because she’s so controlling and distrusting 🤦🏼♀️
