Weekly Ramble #7/London

Hello Earthlings,

MASSIVE DELAY IN POSTING THIS I AM TERRIBLY SORRY.

I would like to inform you that I have been organised, for once, as this is being typed whilst on the train from St Pancras to Chesterfield on Thursday. First class with complimentary cups of tea, this is basically heaven (free cups of tea?!) anyway you honestly have no idea how official I feel. Everyone around me is tapping away on a laptop etc doing important things and look at me, blending in with them all being all official. I like it.

For a while my mum and I had this trip to London planned, go down on the Wednesday and come back on the Thursday. It wasn't really for a specific purpose, just to see London and be tourists. I loved the thought of walking around London, because you only ever see the big sightseeing destinations on TV but I actually walked near them. I'll get to all that soon though, it turns out that my mum booked for us to go and see Mamma Mia at The Novello theatre as a surprise. Speaking for myself, I love Mamma Mia and anything to do with it...speaking for my mum, Mamma Mia isn't exactly her cup of tea but even she enjoyed the show. 

I wanted this blog post to be mainly a collection of photos from my amazing trip so without further ado...

The Palace

Big Ben

ParLIAment Square, see what I did there?

HUMANS

Churchill

This donut was bigger than my hand.

London Eye

I genuinely took a photo of a Starbucks purely for Ailish...

Had to go all the way to London for Starbucks to spell my name right.

LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS

I cried when Mamma Mia started, I'm being serious.

So proud of this photo

Platform 9 3/4

I can honestly say that London was such a surreal experience and I can't wait to return there.

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...

FILM REVIEW - How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

I'll admit in terms of the How to Train Your Dragon films I'm a bit rusty, in fact very rusty as I have never seen the first one...or the second one. But I decided to go along and see the 3rd one as I'd heard about the hype surrounding it and thought "why not". The kids watching the film were probably less annoying than some of the parents, yes I'm talking to you the woman two rows in front who scrolled through Facebook and your Snapchat stories for half the film, 104 minutes is not a long time to go without social media - maybe give it a go!  I'm sure I'd have understood bits of the film more if I'd seen the other two but I wouldn't deem it as one of those films that make no sense without watching the first in the series. So, don't worry if you have no dragon knowledge and get dragged along to see it.  Hiccup discovers that his dragon Toothless isn't the only remaining Night Fury, and he must find "The Hidden World" that ...
