Please come and join me and author Jo Carnegie for our Girls Night Out events at:
Hillhead Library, Glasgow, June 15th (from 6pm) and Waterstone’s Bookshop, Sutton, June 17th (from 7.30pm, I think!)
We are planning to be an antidote to all this World Cup boysie-dramarama. Though personally, I don’t mind watching a bit of international footie especially if teams from Italy or Sweden are involved (they have all the best men, trust me here).
This is Jo’s latest book by the way. Does it not look delicious?
As a seasoned Sex And The City fan, I had to go to the latest film despite the ominous sand dunes in the poster. (I had to laugh hard at the reading glasses on a stick in said poster… soooo my demographic!)
Well, as a friend of mine who saw the film first put it: ‘You’ll enjoy it, but it’s terrible.’ There were a few redeeming moments: Miranda and Charlotte confessing Mummy truths in the private bar and some of the Carrie/Big angst about whither married life.
But the rest is just very disappointing. The hotel karaoke is a particular low and I’d never even heard the song before. As for the nanny boobs and the Danish architect: ooooh, cringe-worthy.
There are so many interesting things to say about being in your 40s… and beyond. I wanted to know how ‘the girls’ were coping with husband-sex, career plateaus, older children, menopause, fighting the sag, all sorts of interesting things. The TV series gave us much fluff and froth but also so many thought-provoking truths. SATC2 was pretty much all fluff. And no plot! Who decided it was a good idea to make a 2 hours and 20 minutes long movie without a plot!
Still, went with my girlfriends and we had a hilarious dinner afterwards repeating all the cheesiest lines.
Summer means sandals. Well, sometimes… on the days when the sun finally breaks through the cloud and raises the temperature from 12 degrees (as on June 1!) to 17-ish.
But I do not know if my feet are sandal worthy. There’s all that buffing and filing and trimming and painting. How am I supposed to fit this into the schedule?!
