The Fringe of It ·

2024/08/06

This week Charlotte and Liv are looking to the little (and larger) joys of the summer months- with a hot weather medley to get stuck into. Diving straight in with their summer reads and the gateway book that finally rescued Charlotte from her Book Drought 2024, we go from the best reads to the Olympics in one, erm, pole vault and will begin campaigning for pottery painting to be at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. There’s also big talk of chemise summer (what else could one possibly be wearing?!),

Is a Bruce Bogtrotter summer the new brat girl summer? What do gym bros *really* have playing in their ears? And will Charlotte ever complete another two-step authentication ever again? A week of big questions and phone updates- all alongside Liv’s acting debut and why she never did quite make it to the bright lights of the West End (a question on, well, actually, nobody’s lips). We also delve into the importance of healing our inner teenagers, why complimenting strangers should be our weekly

The Fringe of It ·

2024/07/16

Ahoy there! Wasting not but a second before delving into grand garden reveals, it’s straight into bulb catch ups before Charlotte *finally* dips her toe into One Day (spoilers and waterworks ahead) and Liv starts fancying herself as a film critic. Is this the end of the Mamma Mia 2 chapter?! Only time will tell!* There’s also an important discussion about weatherproof footwear, a magical Cotswold’s shopping spot and Liv wonders, importantly, if she just simply hasn’t got thick enough skin to be a

The Fringe of It ·

From Strictly sequins (did…Liv, erm, mention she’d had a birthday?) to primary school P.E- it’s a week of joy shared in all it’s shapes and forms (even if the rules of tennis are still just too complicated for some of us). In exciting news, Charlotte gets deep in pesto-appreciation and we do a *LIVE* (fanfare please!) taste test for Have I Got Food For You?!

We also begin a delayed catch up of the last four years- from children to breakups, there's a lot to cover- but hey, we've got to start somewhere! Also, and most importantly- the jeans we both can't stop wearing (or talking
