Greatest decision I’ve made in the last two months? Deciding to go to Liverpool for a long weekend. We left Thursday, got back yesterday, and had a glorious two-and-a-half days in the city.

Happy Birthday to me

Happy Birthday to me

Today is my birthday and as such I set my alarm for 3:00am so that I could get up early and gift myself with a pair of tickets to the Liverpool vs Wolves match on September 23. I promptly called my sister at around 4:00am to tell her that I secured said tickets and now we are on our way towards planning a long weekend in Liverpool revolving around this match. Excitement! Hopefully we’ll get to do the Anfield tour this time because they won’t be doing stadium repairs at that time of year.

The Tate Liverpool also has a Magritte exhibition on until mid-October, which is very fortuitous given that he is one of my favourite painters and we didn’t get a chance to go to the Tate Liverpool when we were there in May.

(Is it bad that I’ve booked another trip when I haven’t even finished posting about when I went two months ago?)

Also, a bobby pin just fell out of my hair and onto my leg and I thought it was a bug and nearly had a heart attack.

get back to where you once belonged

get back to where you once belonged

My love affair with the Beatles began when I was thirteen years-old and The Beatles Anthology aired on TV. I don’t want to put too fine a point on it but it CHANGED MY LIFE, and since that point I’ve wanted to go to England. London, yes, but more importantly Liverpool. As cheesy and touristy as it probably is, we decided to roll up for the Magical Mystery Tour to see the sights and sounds of the Liverpool suburbs where the Fab Four grew up.
