UNBOXING: DJI Mic Mini (1 TX+1 RX)
You might have seen that I purchased the DJI Mic 2 (1TX Shadow Black), you can read the blog post here . I hadn't gotten a transmitter with it, was relying on bluetooth but it just was a faff so decided to purchase one with a transmitter and thought I would show you. I purchased it from Very for £55, you can get yours here . I should have realised the transmitter wouldn't fit in my iPhone, I have an older phone with the older charger port but I do plan to get a new phone soon

Taste of China (Harrogate 2025)
Me and the family are trying to find a decent Chinese takeaway in Harrogate so thought I would do blog posts about them when we try so we can go back and see which we thought was the best. As you can see we did a big order, it came in the frozen chip box, I saw a social media post about a Chinese takeaway isn't a proper Chinese takeaway in England if it doesn't come in a cardboard box. My plate looks very full, so let's go through what we ordered. Prawn crackers, standard, co

Standard Studio At The Gresham Aparthotel (Leicester 2025)
I was staying in Leicester for a night to celebrate Charlotte's 30th birthday. I have stayed at this aparthotel before but thought I would document the different rooms. The room was lovely, I didn't use the kitchenette but I have plans to stay in Leicester for a week in the new year for a project and think I will book here so I can cook and not eat out all of the time. The bed was really comfortable, above the bed was a VELUX window so when it got light it did wake me up. The

New toiletries, can't move in a new home with an old toothbrush or razor (I may be weird), I didn't want to move in with loads of half empty products so starting a fresh.
