St Valentines day in Greenwich

St Valentines day in Greenwich

by | Feb 10, 2021 | Community

I have tried and tried to find some solution to the quandary of what to do special on St Valentine’s day during the lockdown in Greenwich and the only thing that I have come up with is an online romantic concert streamed by the Blackheath Halls.
If you stick to the rules (as we all should) then unless you are happily married or living with your special someone, then a nice evening in with a lovely meal and a few glasses of wine is going to be an easy option during the lockdown. Unfortunately, if you are single and living on your own and have that someone special in your life then getting the person you love to pop around for an intimate meal and other intimacies is against the rules. Although if your young and in love I don’t think the rules are going to stop you.
If you are interested in an evening of intimate loving, food, wine, and entertainment, and you have a passion for classical music and culture then you can watch on Sunday 14th February at 19:30, the online stream of LOVE: Brahms Liebeslieder-Waltzer, Op. 52 & 65 for £10 per household by booking online from the link: https://www.blackheathhalls.com/whats-on/love-brahms-liebeslieder-waltzer-op-52-65-2/
Hopefully this Covid mess will be sorted out by next year and we can all get back to the restaurants to celebrate St Valentines as usual with the special one we love and care about.
See the events page on the 14th February for more details of the St Valentines day concert by the Blackheath Halls.

Sex, Nudity, Bad Language and Dragons

Sex, Nudity, Bad Language and Dragons

RAUNCHY SEX, Nudity, BAD LANGUAGE and DRAGONS (Bet that got your attention). No, it is not another episode of Game of Thrones but just another month of lockdown entertainment in Greenwich.
Calm down it’s not what you think. Since all the theatres are shut, some entrepreneurial theatres are putting on plays and performances online and streaming the performances on a ticket per device purchase basis. One of the plays being put on from the Greenwich theatre is Manimals a raunchy about a niche dating genre.
Does it have dragons in it I hear you ask. No that is my second item, because from Friday 12th February for 16 days the Chinese community will be celebrating Chinese New Year 2021 and although it is the year of the Ox and NOT the year of the dragon, every year is celebrated with the famous dragon dance.
Check out my website link below to get more details and ways to partake in the events and performances.

Manimals by Michelle Hudson

A sexually charged, raunchy play about a female games designers dating experience with Manimals – men who pose with exotic animals in their dating profiles.
The paly warning state sexually explicit content, nudity and bad language so not one to watch with granny or the kids.
This is an audience participation play that they recommend is best partaken on a one-to-one experience rather than in groups.

Well, I don’t know about you but after four years with a paranoid narcissistic lying maniac in control of the White House, with his finger on the nuclear button, I hope I can breathe a sigh of relief but I am saddened and confused at the state he has left the US in. With emboldened racists and mad and insane Christian nationalists trying to impose their warped view of the world on everyone else.

Where fat belligerent bullies dress up like Rambo and openly swagger about threatening protesters with automatic assault rifles and machine guns because their supposed constitution allows them to say and do what the hell they like and they all believe in what their hypocritical right-wing conservative pastors tell them or whatever QANON conspiracy or Trump bullshit has been told to them.

Where a generation of arrogant uneducated morons make sure everyone knows that their sense of self-entitlement holds no bounds. Where a part of the population has willingly allowed themselves to be manipulated and used as pawns in one man’s greed for power, who encourages them to wear their ignorance and oppressive nature like a badge of honour.

I hope Republicans and Democrats can find some middle ground and start to reconcile their differences and move forward without any more violence.

I for one will be leaving America off my choice of holiday destination for a while until things out there calm down.
