Hi there! Listed below are 5 issues to do in January…
And my second common Friday publish, woo! (Let’s see how lengthy this lasts for).
This week we have now been primarily getting again into issues, issues being work / nursery / faculty / after faculty golf equipment and so forth, how about you? It’s that January no man’s land time, isn’t it – publish Christmas depressing, however the novelty of being recent and new hasn’t fairly petered into Actually Terrible Chilly and Bleak January (one thing to look ahead to).
So listed below are 5 issues to do that month:
Go and see Room on the Broom: Earlier than Christmas, F and I had been invited to a efficiency of Room on the Broom on the Lyric Theatre in London. We’ve seen one Julia Donaldson stage adaptation earlier than and actually favored it, however Room on the Broom is our favorite guide, and even the the TV adaptation is ideal, so I used to be mildly apprehensive the stage present wouldn’t be.
Nevertheless, we each actually beloved it – the play does differ from the guide – they should make it stretch out for an hour – and there are songs (songs we’ve been singing ever since, giving a few of these a run for his or her cash). But it surely’s actually pretty, a extremely intelligent mixture of actors and puppets and the set. And afterwards we had been allowed to fulfill the solid, who had been so good – F wasn’t eager to enter the room they had been in, in order that they got here out to fulfill her as an alternative,
The play finishes in London this weekend, and is then touring across the UK (information right here).
Go on the Ladies’s March: The Ladies’s March takes place this 12 months on twenty first January in London (extra information right here). There’s a bread and roses theme this 12 months, in opposition to austerity. Having taken my youngest to the anti-Trump march, I’m actually eager to take her sister alongside to this. Let me know for those who plan on going.
Organise one thing: Like most individuals, I’ve been watching Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. Have you ever seen it? I wrote a publish about Marie Kondo just a few years in the past as I used to be sceptical about how tidy you possibly can really be when you’ve gotten young children. Nevertheless, the programme has suckered me in and made me need to throw the whole lot away…this weekend, proper? P.S. I feel having intentions to organise one thing positively counts.
Go to a museum: It’s too chilly for the park, everybody’s post-Christmas depressing – so we must always all go and run round a museum as an alternative. We’ve not been to see both the pirates exhibition on the Museum of Childhood or the solar exhibition on the Science Museum, so each of these are on our record.
And right here’s our assessment of the London Transport Museum…
Watch Mary Poppins Returns: I took the women to see this as a back-to-school deal with. The unique is one in all my all-time favourites, however O M G I beloved the brand new one a lot. I believed it was unimaginable – stunning, emotional, joyful. I might have watched all of it day lengthy. We’re additionally lastly watching Catastophe, which as standard we’re late to the social gathering about – because the 4th and last collection has simply began on C4. A minimum of we have now hundreds to make amends for?
Make a main faculty utility: Only a tiny reminder for many who, like us, may in any other case have forgotten it was due this month *aspect eye*. Count on hundreds of thousands of ‘how is she sufficiently old? My BABY!’ posts to return within the subsequent few months. PS – all concerning the highs and woes of the second-time faculty utility…
