Another Step Closer to 30

So the BIG Twenty Six is just around the corner, 13 days to be exact, and in all honesty I don’t really know how to feel.

       

Turning 26 is a pretty big milestone, well saying that I guess its not one of those highly celebrated numbers, but for me, 26 is one that I have somewhat been apprehensive about...almost to the point of dreading. 

Once you reach 26 you are no longer allowed to say, 'I'm in my early 20’s', I mean blimey 4 more years and I’ll be 30!!! How did that happen?!

Whilst trying to get my head round that fact I realised that age is just a number. 

Why am I worrying? 

On the morning of Tuesday 3^rd May I will be no different. 

Physically I will still be a little bit chubby. 

Mentally I will still be a little bit childish. 

                                  

                                                 

And I find it very unlikely I will wake up knowing where my life is going...trust me if I do I will let you know.   

So what is the plan to make the most of this next step closer to being 30? 

Let’s stress less! 

25 was a very stressful year. I’m pretty sure I have acquired several stress lines (face and stretch) from this milestone age. I’ll be whipping out the yoga mat, lighting a few more 'de-stress' candles and to be honest not giving so much of a monkeys about other peoples dramas. Work, Bills and Debts I’ll pop in a little bag at the back of my mind and focus on having fun! 

       

Ditch the podge! 

Well, I am extremely excited about this. I have recently really kicked myself up the bum (sounds like an interesting position) but yeah...I have dropped just over a stone and I couldn’t be happier. Bike every night, no crappy crap and nearly 4 litres of water a day! We are on the right path people. It is just continuing with it. Fingers crossed slightly skinnier Suze is making a come back! 

                                       

                                                                   (And yes that is me) 

Adventure Time…com’on grab your friends!! Blimey I love that programme!

I need some adventuring back in my life. This time last year Beardy and I were travelling around the world and it was incredible!! I think mini adventures are needed to release my inner Fin and Jake. Amsterdam? Berlin? Paris? Who knows…Any ideas guys chuck them my way. 

       

Even though 26 is still a terrifying number and I guess I’m still not fully ready for it, I can’t help but feel if I face it with the right mind set and positive vibe....then sod it! A number is a number. 

Let’s fill this 26^th year with as many memories and fun times as possible. 

WELCOME TO THE RED DOG SALOON

If you are in the market for some finger licking BBQ then look no further than the Red Dog Saloon in Hoxton Square! 

        

We rocked up here a few weekends ago and instantly loved it. 

With the classic American style venue and chilled out atmosphere we took our seats and began our Red Dog Saloon experience. 

Cocktails were a must on my part and I can honestly say their margaritas are to die for! 

     

If you’re a hot sauce fanatic like myself you have to get your spicy mitts on the Original Buffalo Wings. They are incredible!

And if you are feeling brave they have a Hot Wing Challenge!! Tears will flow, mouths will burn and taste buds will be destroyed. You have been warned.  

     

You have to try a burger in this place, it’s just a must! I went for The Punisher. 16 hour smoked pork butt, applewood smoked bacon & American cheese all on a delicious beef patty! Mouths watering yet?

     

Beardy was hungry that day so went for The Devastator. 18oz chuck steak, 200g pulled pork, 6 rashers applewood smoked bacon & 6 slices American cheese. 

     

Again if you are up for a challenge they have one which The Devastator is part of. That’s right, The Devastator is just part of the Challenge! We think it involves sides, milkshakes and god knows what else but this is definitely not for the faint hearted or any small tummies. 

     

Based in Hoxton Square RDS is a great place for a couple’s night out or a friend’s get together. It’s a tad pricey but so worth the little dent in your wallet. 

Highly recommended!
