It's a blankets, baked beans on toast and binge-watching The Crown kind of Monday night (...although honestly, I thought the first episode of the new season was pretty dull) ❄

Feels frosty out there tonight; apparently there's a polar vortex heading our way which *might* mean snow...?
When you find the perfectly gooey, totally foolproof chocolate brownie recipe, it's your moral obligation as a human being to pass it on. ...Uh, that being said, whether you - y'know - actually *share* any of those brownies, is totally your call. 🍫 (link in bio)

Happy birthday (not so) little brother! 🖤
I defy anyone to take a wander through the @morgan_quarter and NOT feel Christmassy. I think even Ebeneezer Scrooge would stomp in one end and come skipping out the other. 🖤

Christmas kind of pounced on Cardiff this week, didn't it? Winter Wonderland is open, the Christmas Market opened up yesterday, the Coca Cola truck parked up today, there's the @christmasmakersmarket over the weekend in Penarth, and #CityOfArcades Day tomorrow. If you're planning on making a start on your Christmas Shopping in Cardiff, I've got a full guide up on the blog including a list of some of the offers running in the arcades tomorrow.

Oh hey, hi there, hello. I'm the bellend who drives to events where there's an open bar lined up with all you can swig espresso martinis and then spends the evening gazing longingly at everyone's drinks. 🍸🍸🍸

Loved getting a sneaky peek at @theivycardiff last night; the decor was Great Gatsby meets Owain Glyndwr and it was gooooorgeous.
Keeping this guy close and the TV turned right up tonight. 🖤

There have been so many heartbreaking stories on social media over the past few days about stressed pups that it was kind of inevitable that there'd be a call for over the counter fireworks to be banned. Personally I wouldn't be sad to see them go; you wouldn't catch me anywhere near a back garden firework display and if it dials down (*Ross hands*) the surround sound that terrifies pets on Bonfire Night then I'm all for it. (Except sparklers, obvs. I love those 😊). What d'you reckon? Ban 'em? Or should we just get on with it and brave them for a few nights of the year?

How are you keeping your pets calm tonight?
