The Summer is almost over, but when I saw these light blue chinos from Mango Man, I couldn’t resist so I had to get them!
You might remember that last week I got some navy and black chinos, I also saw these but decided not to get them immediately as I may not have liked the style. But I did, and so I ended up getting this pair in light blue, which makes it 3 pairs of chinos from Mango Man!
I used to do a film night once a week, and since it’s been the Summer and we’ve had the World Cup and general Summer life, I haven’t sat down and watched anything new. I was browsing around Amazon Prime the other day and saw A Bad Moms Christmas, and since I liked the first one, really wanted to see this.
Are you ready for more Dwayne Johnson in sharp suits? One of my favourite shows, Ballers is back on Sky Atlantic, it’s into season 4 and the premiere is on tonight at 22:10.
If you’ve never seen it, where have you been!? Basically it’s a show which centres around the NFL and American Football, in particular Spencer Strasmore played by Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, who’s a retired football player now trying to make it as a financial manager for the players.
I hope you’re all having a good week so far. This weekend you’ll know I went to the NE1 motor show which was great, and now I’m settling into another really, really busy week! It’s still warm, still T-shirt weather, but the rain has come back in recent times, however it’s still plenty warm enough to get away with wearing a tee without the need for jacket or anything else.
This weekend was the return of the NE1 Motor Show in Newcastle, and as with previous years, I decided I would go. It’s always a good time, and a real relaxed atmosphere for people who are proper petrol heads and can talk to others, or just for people who like to have a look at cars and see some real masterpieces.
This year there was a brand new car, the Bloodhound SSC which is a land speed record car. There was the same great stuff from previous years, including Paul Swift doing some car stunts on Hood Street, as well as the likes of Aston Martin, Mercedes and Lexus being present, and there was plenty of super cars such as Ferrari, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Lamborghini, classic cars, American Muscle and the best of British.
It’s Tuesday so that means it’s time for another T Shirt Tuesday!
What’s going on with Rome right now? I know that it’s a tourist place and people go all the time, but it seems that everyone is going this year, including myself, I went there earlier in the Summer and it was great.
That leads me on to my T Shirt Tuesday this week, which is this tee from the Hard Rock Cafe in Rome.
I hope you had a good weekend, it was another hot one! There’s been a ton of Summer sales on over the past month or so, have you bought anything from them? They’re so hard to resist, so I got a couple of shirts from Mango. I probably have far too many shirts, but I couldn’t resist, and got these two; One a dark navy shirt, the other a more casual buffalo check shirt.
I found my new TV Show to watch! The Bold Type, which is on Amazon Prime, and it’s good!
It’s actually not new, it aired in the USA in 2017 on an American network, but we got it in the UK back in February…You may have seen the ads for it on TV. If you like programs like Entourage, Girls, Red Oaks etc. then you may like this. I love shows like this, because it’s all about the characters and their friendships, which is exactly what those other shows are about.
For film night I decided to check out to see if there was anything good on Amazon Prime, and I happened to see that Logan Lucky was on there, so decided to give it a watch. I kind of knew of the film, I saw previews of this when it came out at the cinema last year and it looked good, so I was happy to give this a watch and see what it was all about.
It’s a comedy heist film, in the same kind of style as Oceans 11 and it’s squeals, and is directed by Steven Soderberg, who was responsible for those films too.
I saw that it was on Amazon Video so I decided that I’d watch it so I could tell people that I’d finally seen it. Yes, I am talking about the film Moonlight. I knew nothing about this film, other than everyone was talking about it, and all that controversy when it won the OCSAR for best picture when it beat La La Land.
So going into the film, I knew nothing about it at all, the plot, the characters or anything. In short, it’s a coming of age film split in 3 parts which is about a boy’s journey through his life, and his struggles. It’s about his sexuality, abuse he gets in his younger years, and dealing with his mother’s drug habit.
