What’s On Without Leaving: From Live Music To Actually Hosting Friends Again
Every single world food and drink day seemed to happen this week. There was World Cocktail Day, World Whiskey Day and World Baking Day all in the space of a working week, and we’re not mad about it. It gives us a lot of things to do, after all.
It’s also starting to get quite cold, which makes staying home and snuggled up in bed less cumbersome and more exactly what I’d want to be doing anyway. Especially with the right show to watch or book to read (or cross stitch, I have an actual cross stitch addiction at this point).
Whatever you’re in the mood for, we’ve got your best weekend sorted.
