Oh, please do excuse me there for a moment… I was just having a quick snooze. Well, today is ‘Public Sleeping Day’ after all! That’s right, February 28th is traditionally the day to have a quick snooze somewhere other than your bed.

Like her or loathe her, today, February 17th, is Paris Hilton’s birthday and is also Ruth Rendell’s birthday. Here are a few ideas for parties inspired by these, rather contrasting women.

In today’s blog, in celebration of it being February 10th, we’ll be looking at what strange connection there is between today’s date, an alcoholic midwife, convulsive children and umbrellas. Honestly, stick with me on this.

Today, February 8th, is the birthday of a true legend, who has almost certainly touched the heart strings or played on the pulses of millions of us. No, I’m not talking about Trinny Woodall, although we do of course wish her all the best for her 48th birthday today. No, the particular legend I’m thinking of today is John Williams, who is 80 years old today. John – a happy birthday to you!

This is to celebrate the achievements and contributions of Noah Webster, who is credited as being the father of the modern dictionary. So here we go with a few of our own party themed dictionary definitions.

Apparently it’s the summer, so they tell me. Although as I’m writing this I’m looking at out the rain hammering on the windows. But being in an optimistic frame of mind regardless I thought I’d offer one of my favourite summer cocktail recipes.
