Trying KFC’s new Pickle Menu

Posted on March 24, 2026March 24, 2026 by Jupiter

I am known widely as someone who very much enjoys pickles. Specifically, American-style dill pickles that often can only be found at Subway or McDonalds, as they are very sour and very much full of dill. I am known to like pickles so much, that four separate people told me about the KFC pickle menu, and I honestly thought it was some sort of April Fool’s joke, until it came out! Dann and I went right to our local KFC to try it all. Pickle Mania is what they are calling their new pickle range, which can all be ordered in one box meal. Dann and I each got a box, which was fun to try!

Dogman 20,000 Fleas Under The Sea Board Game – Fun Concept

Posted on March 23, 2026March 22, 2026 by Jupiter

[Ad – Gifted Products] We have a tradition of playing with board games every other Monday, at our local Geek Retreat, where we find ourselves spending some wind-down after the first school and work day of the week. We’ve been exploring a bunch of the Dogman board games, so went on to play Dogman 20,000 Fleas Under the Sea as Robin is such a big Dogman fan! We often feel that getting the board games that contain these book characters really encourages reading in our household.

Seeing The Scratch at Rough Trade Bristol

Dann and I have primary seen music in the form of festivals over the years, as we enjoy seeing lots of bands when we go somewhere. I’ve also more recently seen a tribute act – due to Amelia wanting to see more live music this year – so was quite interested in my friend Gary invited me to see The Scratch at Rough Trade in Bristol.

Eating with a View at Schonbrunn Gloriette

Posted on March 19, 2026March 15, 2026 by Jupiter

When it comes to beautiful cafes to eat at in Austria, but the Schonbrunn Gloriette is one that feels just breath-taking. I think, looking at the building, I didn’t realize it was even a cafe at all, but it was! This building is a massive arch, with tons of arches at either side, with a small building in the middle that holds the cafe. It overlooks a fantastic view of Vienna, which is also stunning, along with the gardens and castle in front of it. We loved the little walk from the tram to this cafe, as it was so beautiful, and such a lovely morning walk.

Once we entered the Schonbrunn Gloriette, we took a seat at a booth that had a window view of the castle below. It was simply magical. There was a person playing the piano, then playing some brace pipes afterwards, which added to this magic! Dann and I had quite a few mornings of only sweet treats, and now were interested in trying something savory, so that’s what we did! I am going to be honest. I am not sure what all of the cakes we ordered and tried were, as these were picked out by our tour guides for us to try.
