R-RATED: Everything I'm Loving this Month

The cult documentary everyone is talking about, not one but 3 books I've enjoyed, home tweakments and wardrobe splurges.

I’ve realised once and for that the socialising I love the most at this time of year is the cosy, intimate kind. Two friends on my sofa by the fire, a cosy pub dinner or games at a friend’s house. Give me a party every weekend at the start of summer when my energy is peaking but by the end of the year when it’s dark at 4pm, I’m just trying not to get the seasonal lurgy before heading to the in-laws to be honest. Thankfully this December, though busy and exhausting as always, has felt very aligned to this preference and, bonus points, it’s meant I’ve had time to do plenty of reading, watching and internet browsing on the side (I promise I do actually like people too). As we’re entering the slower (wishful thinking?!) part of December I thought now was a good time to share all the stuff I’ve enjoyed/saved/recommended IRL this month fo whenever you find a window of time.

Happy Christmas everyone, see you on the other side of the big day as we hurtle towards a new year!
