Of course, there were some train difficulties as we headed into London for our monthly PROGRESS Wrestling show yesterday. Southampton were playing in the league cup at Wembley so the train was full of football fans and our first little train to a bigger Southampton station was cancelled due to flooding. When we did get to London, we were fifteen ( Read more... )

It seems strange to think that Anthony and I were in another country only last week! But we were, we had a lovely holiday in Denmark. Anthony, as always, was tremendously excited about going to another country. He does love travelling so much. My dislike of flying always means I approach travelling much more resentfully - truthfully, I’d rather ( Read more... )

First PROGRESS show of 2017! Much excitement for us J There was a slight wrinkle in that train work was going on around Clapham Junction so the trains weren’t running as frequently and we ended up getting a train that got us in an hour early. So we popped into the National Portrait Gallery again and looked at a lot of paintings that weren’t our ( Read more... )

My last wrestling show of 2016 was PROGESS’ last of the year too, for the first time a show was held between Christmas and New Year and was titled Unboxing Live! as no matches or even wrestlers were announced before the show, every contest a complete surprise to fans in attendance. That’s also a first for PROGRESS. The show was held a couple of ( Read more... )

This past weekend, I got to spend time in Bristol and check out a fun Christmas wrestling show from ATTACK! Pro Wrestling, who we saw do a show in Bristol at this time last year too. This time the show went to acted as their 2016 finale.

But first, we had to get to Bristol and our first train was cancelled due to lack of train staff! Thankfully ( Read more... )

A bit behind with my wrestling reports! Last week, we were thrilled to go to London to see Revolution Pro-Wrestling - a company we’ve only watched before in Portsmouth. Their London shows always sound much more our style but we’ve not been able to make them before due to timings etc. Every year they do a couple of Global Wars shows, which feature a ( Read more... )

I was lucky enough to enjoy a two-show weekend of wrestling, so will be doing an entry for each show. On Saturday, we were lucky enough to have ICW (Insane Championship Wrestling) come to our hometown on their autumn tour, as they did last year. Anthony and I were thrilled as not only would we get to see our ICW favourites, but there were several ( Read more... )

Had a busy last weekend as my parents visited and I had my first driving lesson in months. My previous instructor has had to have neck surgery - he’s had problems for year and only recently got it all diagnosed properly - and as a result is doing less lessons so can’t fit me in as he used to. So now Anthony’s instructor has a slot free after his ( Read more... )

It's the husband's birthday. He has the whole week off, I have three days off and we've started off well today. Anthony got lovely presents from family with more to come and was properly excited by it all and has been enjoying by them all. We decided to have a super chilled day and stayed in until we went to a pub called The Rockstone which is a ( Read more... )

Saturday was one of those ‘good day - bad days’, not helped by the thick sticky humidity that has enveloped the UK. I’m such a winter baby, it’s hell for me while everyone else is out worshipping the sun. Anthony doesn’t cope well either in the heat, after a certain temperature he says he can’t function. So we’re having to open all the windows in ( Read more... )
