A film I’ve wanted to watch for a while is The Festival. I’ve had it in my Amazon wish list, and was going to buy it, but lucky for me, it’s been put on Amazon Prime, so I decided to watch it.
The trailers for the film looked good. As the title suggests, the setting for the film is at a music festival. It stars Joe Thomas from The Inbetweeners and is directed by Iain Morris, who was also involved with that show. I liked The Inbetweeners, the trailers looked good, so I thought this was going to be a good watch.
I’ve never been to a festival, and after watching this film, I’m so glad about that….

Happy Saturday, It’s the start of another Bank Holiday weekend!
So a few days ago you may have caught on my Instagram stories that I was trying out some Rekorderlig Botanicals, and got some flavours which I haven’t previously had. If you’re unaware, Rekorderlig is a Swedish cider brand, I’ve featured them a fair bit on the blog over the years, and a while ago they released some new flavours, which they are calling botanicals.
I had a couple last year, but I found that they have some more flavours which I hadn’t tried. I thought I would get some bottles which would last me for a little while, they’ll come in perfect for the Summer, my birthday and of course the Swedish Midsummer (Midsummer’s eve falls on my birthday!).
The blackberry-violet-juniper was a flavour which I hadn’t tried before, so I was looking forward to giving that a go.
What do they taste like?

Hey guys!
I hope you are well and had a good weekend.
I can’t believe that it’s the last week of April, and it will be May in a couple of days. It really is mental how fast this year has gone, it feels like only a couple of days ago since it was the New Year, at least for me. I have no idea where time has gone.
We had the Summer! Well almost. Last week we got some brilliant weather, but where has that gone? Even though we’re closer to Summer now than we were, the rain the miserable weather has returned to us once again. I was planning on changing my wardrobe, getting all my nice T-shirts back out and putting away the jumpers and knitwear, but that plan came to an end 😀

Hey guys!
Who’s been enjoying the weather, then?
I hope you are well and had a good Easter. Mine was pretty good. A combination of doing absolutely nothing for most days, chilling out and doing some gaming, and going out in Newcastle on Saturday night…Yes, with my moon boot on 😀
Here’s how I spent the past few days…

It seems like only a few weeks ago I heard about a new snooker game which was coming out, Snooker 19 which is officially licenced and the first “official” World Snooker game for a good while. I was excited about this, and couldn’t wait to get it, since it would be the first snooker game I’ve played since the Playstation/PS2 days, and first on the newer consoles.
It was released yesterday, and I got it! But how does this new game stack up to the games of old? Here’s my review.

Happy Monday guys!
I hope you are well and rested from the weekend. It was a pretty cool and quiet one, and of course was all about football. Newcastle played on Friday night and so I wore my shirt (with a roll neck!) and there was football on Sunday too.
So here’s how it went, and more on my foot in a moon boot update!

As you’ll know from reading my blog over the years, I am a massive Spain fan. A huge Spain fan. Back in 2008, Spain won Euro 2008, the first time they have won a trophy since 1964. It was an incredible time, and the start of a great journey for Spain.
Amazon has created a couple of short documentary style films, called Luis, el sabio del éxito which takes a look at behind the scenes footage from the tournament, which has never been seen before.
As soon as I found out about this, I had to see it!

Hello guys & Happy Sunday…And of course, Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers 😀
I can’t believe that it’s the last day of March…The clocks have just gone forward (change yours if you haven’t already!) which means we’re on our way to Summer. I haven’t done many ‘life’ updates on the blog for a while, so I thought I would do one today.
There’s plenty that’s happened this week, including: Football, my foot in a moon boot, and lovely, lovely wine :D.
