There are a few movies coming out this fall and winter that have me really excited. Here are my highlights of the top ten flicks I will be viewing and think you should to (assuming you have the same bad taste in movies as I do).
Crouch End

It’s always fun to explore a new London borough. There really is so much that we haven’t seen – still! Sunday lunches with Elsa are a good excuse to try (and to see) something new.
First Dinner Party

I cannot believe that we have lived here nearly eleven months without ever having had someone over for dinner. I can’t believe we have never eaten at our table, until now. I think I like it. We might do it again soon.
Minger
Someone ugly. See minging.
Strop

Tantrum. [i.e. "I stood a little bit taller because I was expecting a strop."]

Pen and pencil ready? Assignment: One hundred words about your super power(s), single spaced, 12 point typeface, on my desk next Thursday. Papers with photos earn extra credit.
Rubbish
Trash. It goes in the bin.
Bin
Trash can.
They Call Her The Streak

I like to think of 351 Crescent House as our little haven. You know, a safe place where we can wear clothes that don’t match, play video games at all hours, and sit reading in a face mask made of blueberries. Maybe Drew doesn’t partake in the blueberry face mask bit, but you get the idea. The point is that this week, my safe haven went public. And Saucy McSasspants was born.
Cuppa
Cup of tea. If you are worried about steeping your tea for the wrong amount of time, check this out.
Bill
Check. You ask the waiter for the bill, not the check. (A check is a thing write on to make a payment.)
Sofra

Sofra at Exmouth Market is worth a visit for well made Turkish food.
The Exciting Life
Aug 16

You know that your life is brimming over with excitement when the funniest thing that happened to you all weekend was an unenlightened exchange with a grocery store employee. What can I say? Things get wild up in her’, yo!
Pull
Sleep (fill in the gap) with.
Be Still, My Heart

There’s a reason it took so long to report the most recent visit to the Huddleston B&B, made by Kassi and Kelsey of the lovely near-Nashville, Tennessee. It might be that tears welled up in my eyes more than a couple of times and my lip quivered uncontrollably once or twice.
Guillotine
Paper cutter. [Yeah, they say this 'round the office all the time. Bit creepy.]
Music, my Other Best Friend
Aug 14

I think 311 says it best in their love song to music. “You never turned your back on me/When I gave up on myself/You’re my constant companion/What would the world be like without you around?” Ah, poetry. And love.
Off the Rails
Crazy, like a train wreck metaphor. Think Amy Winehouse or Britney Spears; they’ve both gone off the rails.
Bag
The thing that holds your “purse“. And shoes, computer, brolly, granola bar, map, bottled water, a half eaten sandwich from lunch, glitter eyeshadow (just in case), tissues, hand sanitizer (pro’ly not), iPod, phone, sunglasses, oyster card, and keys.
Purse
The thing that holds your money, used like the word “wallet”. Boys still carry “wallets” and girls have “purses” in their bags. I think.
Lift Your Razor High, Sweeney

The point is not that I lay in the aftermath of a migraine or that little pieces of my heart had been whisked away in an Addison Lee taxi a little after 2:30 am (more on that later)… The point isn’t that Drew sweetly whispered something about breakfast in my ear and walked me gently [...]
Dog’s Bollocks
The cat’s meow, all that and a bag of chips, the stuff, something especially good.
Moonlight Serenade

Who is lucky enough to have live acoustic music in their living room?! The Huddlestons, that’s who.
Whilst
While, in the time between one point and another.
Pip pip, Cheerio, Harry Potter!

What is going on around here?! Who ordered the tent?
Ta
(Slang, informal, colloquial, considered more of an east London expression by some proper British people) Thanks.
Potty
Nutters, bonkers, crazy, or something similar.
Good News/Bad News

This has been the view out of our window this afternoon… I guess that’s perfect reason to curl up with something good to read in between loads of laundry. And fighting zombies.
Knock on effect
Domino effect.

This is sort of like a giveaway, except the winner is already the owner. Ok, admittedly, it’s not much of a giveaway at all. It’s my blog and I will call things what I want.
Flagging
Unmotivated, unbothered.
