WEEK 47 - DEADWOOD : THE MOVIE (2019)

For the first time in three weeks, work had allowed me to take what was rightfully mine (AKA reclaim my #ThirstyThursday) and how do the...

WEEK 41 - THE TALL T

Good evening all! It has been a while. And no don't worry, this doesn't mean we have entered another Lockdown, Monkeypox or otherwise....

WEEK 35 - RIO BRAVO

It was an emotional evening at Wotsit Towers as I prepared for the last ever* Wine, Western and Wotsits Staying In night. Much of the...

WEEK 32 - MCLINTOCK!

The psychic link between my sister and the #WWWSI me is strong. We don't message each other that often, but when we do, it always...

WEEK 31 - DEAD MAN

So for the last time this season (which ends 28th Feb I've decided), it was time to roll out the Wotsits for a #WWWSI night. Dry your...
