The male aerobics video was exactly what I needed to start my day. They just look so happy!

It should be compulsory for everyone to do some jumping around in tight neon clothes at least once in their life 😅

100% we need to start a petition for Pedro to say something in a Scottish accent. You've brightened my day with your newsletter of stuff Cristina.

I'm sure he'll be good as a slightly odd bachelor in possession of a great fortune

Nenuco is the best perfume. One day people will realise and it’ll become really expensive. Until then, just enjoy it at every opportunity.

You know it? It's been such a staple of everyone's childhood in Spain that I take it for granted sometimes and hadn't thought it may be familiar to anyone outside Spain. And yes, it's such a nice scent even though it lasts minutes 😂

I live in the UK but my mum was Spanish so I am “bicultural” and I’ve been going to Spain since I was 6 months old. For my sisters, my kids and my nieces, Nenuco is an essential purchase every time we go to Spain.

"Human Bait Needed"?! I wonder what happens if you apply. (You, not me! Obviously I'm going nowhere near a Bigfoot research project!)

V&A East looks like it will be very cool indeed.

Thanks for the intriguing round-up, Cristina.

I did wonder abut that too so I thought Elon Musk would be the perfect candidate to illuminate everyone on that point 😂

I'm bound to visit the V&A for work so I hope to report on what it's like inside but the fact that you can order objects from the archive is a nice touch.

Where was the Human Bait ad from, Cristina?

V&A East is quite near two of my daughters. Love that East London is getting its own cultural hub!

Unfortunately I don't know - I came across it on an Instagram post that didn't credit the source so it may be an old one for all I know but I found it very fitting.

East London has really transformed into a great area and I'm lucky to have been visiting regularly over the years for work and see it transform. Sadlers Wells has now opened there too so I hope more people get to discover the area thanks to these new cultural destinations.
