Weekly Recap 06.12.2015

Ladies and Gentlemen,
As its Sunday, I couldn’t think of a nicer way to end the week than with a little weekly review, going from day to day. It’s easy to write, and hopefully just as easy to read (and maybe if I’m careful, you won’t all realise that this is a cop out).
Monday
Monday was the day that I, for some strange reason, I came up with this idea. I must admit, I had done next to nothing all day, and came up with this idea just before midnight, which is why I don’t really have anything else to add to this day. This is what happens when you don’t know what you’re doing with your life…
Tuesday
Tuesday was definitely a busier day.
Not only was I up until 3am editing photos (Pinterest portfolio is here), I also had to be up at 9am, ready to film a promotional Christmas video for a college.
For most people, this would sound like hell, but it has definitely been one of the most amazing and surreal filming experiences I have ever had.
Wednesday
The filming continued on Wednesday, and was accompanied by editing.
By the time I had gotten home, my coffee buzz had vanished, and I just completely crashed out whilst watching I’m a Celebrity and The Apprentice.
Thursday
Like Monday, I didn’t really do much on Thursday. In fact, I largely just slept all day. I felt completely drained and exhausted, and when I did finally wake up, I planned out a couple of blog posts, wrote a little bit of a book and did some arty bits and bobs.
Friday
It’s safe to say that Friday did not go as expected. I spent a large amount of the day at the doctors and making phone calls, and then all I did was the crafts post. I feel like as these days go on, I’m just revealing how dull and miserable my life is. On the plus side, Sharon Bolton replied to my tweet about my review of her book. I literally screamed in excitement, and it definitely made an unbearable day a lot better.
Also, my mum has banned me from adding things to the shopping list...I can't see why though...
Saturday
Saturday was largely used for sleeping, and trying to make myself look decent ready for seeing my boyfriend tomorrow. I think it’s been just under a month since we’re seen each other, which means that I did have a battle with leg hair and awful skin today. I also opted to paint my nails, which is always a horrible difficult job when your dog always jumps at you. My nails are in fact now textured with dog hair. Luckily, a glitter overcoat completely hides that!
Also, I opened my advent calendar (yes, it is Dan and Phil) and can anyone work out what the hell the chocolate is meant to be? Is it like a festive stick man?
Sunday
I’m writing this at the early hours of Sunday morning. Today, I will be travelling up to Birmingham, and have no idea if where I’m staying will have wifi. As a result, all I can tell you about today is that I’ll spend a lot of time in a car with my mum and sister, and then I will be meeting up with my wonderful boyfriend and going to the German market there.
Posts about that will be up on Monday and Tuesday.

I hope each and every one of you have a fantastic week,
Heather.

Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical Review

Image
It’s no secret that I’m a huge Meatloaf fan. Spending the last twenty years of my life (which is getting worryingly closer to 21) being raised on the likes of Meatloaf, has led to his music, along with Jim Steinman’s lyrics, to symbolise more than words can put into perspective – which could explain why my levels of both excitement and gut-wrenching panic made it to new heights when I was informed I would be seeing Bat Out Of Hell: The Musical. With pre-show nerves, induced by the fear of what was about to happen to the songs that have shaped me into who I am, I entered the Coliseum Theatre, London, and headed straight to the bar. This is when the immersive nature of the show began. With a bottle of Pride of Obsidian in my hand, I took my seat and began reading The Obsidian Times. A small group of actors took to the stage, background acting around a motorbike whilst remaining audience members took to their seat. Then it began – and I was utterly blown away. So much...

'The Band' Musical Review

Image
Take That are probably the biggest boyband from the nineties, shooting to fame with their daring fashion, cheesy dance moves and timeless songs - so it’s no wonder that their new musical, The Band, is excelling in ticket sales, with many fans eager to see how their favourite teenage to modern day tunes are portrayed. In yet another scripting masterpiece from Tim Firth, The Band is not a tale of Take That, but instead, a highly intelligent and emotive story set between two concerts 25 years apart, and a group of five friends, who tragically become four, and the way in which music has shaped their lives. Tim Firth features all the hits of Take That, in ways I did not expect or imagine, and uses the songs as a way to enrich the storyline, as opposed to just cram them in for the sake of it. The show is instantly relatable for music lovers of any music taste and age, embracing the theme of musical idols as well as those of friendship, ageing and loss. Featuring realistic humou...

Hamlet at Almeida Theatre Review *Spoiler Free*

Image
William Shakespeare is one whom I would commonly refer to as the literary equivalent to marmite: you either love his work with a passion or utterly despise it. I guess you could blame the fact that it is commonly force fed down your throat at school reading ‘thou’ after ‘thus’ until the English lesson finally ends – yet, I feel appreciation would grow more if everyone was taken to the theatre to see Shakespeare’s work where it is at its best, just as I was for Hamlet at the Almeida Theatre, London. Image by Miles Aldridge Having only read a couple of pages of the play, and previously seeing an amateur dramatic group’s rendition, my knowledge only stretched to the basic plot, as well as knowing the common line “to be, or not to be”, but due to the number of deaths that many of my peers have told me about, I knew this would be something of interest to me, not to mention the incredible casting that had been achieved. Surrounding the lead protagonist of Prince Hamlet (Played...
