Behind the glossy door of the Bloomsbury boutique (and online) shoppers encounter a stylish smorgasbord reflecting the duo's array of interests, from patterned papers inspired by the marble floors of St. Mark's Basilica to classical column table lamps crowned with silk shades. In 17 years of shopkeeping, Pentreath says his goal has remained the same: to create 'a sense of familiarity, as well as surprise.'

Woman Is 'Fed Up' with Her 'Boring' Boyfriend of 7 Years: 'We've Got 1 Life, and It Should Be at Least Enjoyed a Little'
The woman said her partner "just seems to have no interest in doing anything" with her or their 6-year-old child A woman is contemplating her relationship with her longtime boyfriend — because she finds him "boring." "I'll start off by saying, by no means am I adventurous, but we've got 1 life, and it should be at least enjoyed a little," the woman wrote in a post on the U.K.-based forum Mumsnet. Explaining that her partner "just seems to have no interest in doing anything," the woman further detailed, "He doesn't drink, [which is] fair enough, so ... pubs/clubs [are] out of the equation, he's overweight so hardly ever wants to eat out, as he's on a diet constantly." "He doesn't enjoy the socializing that comes with us having a 6-year-old, so he doesn't come to the park/library/play dates even when I ask," the woman continued of her boyfriend, adding: "He likes football, but doesn't enjoy watching it in person or at the pub, [and] he won't go to a concert/music event."

According to the woman, she and her boyfriend "actually do nothing together, and I don't know if I am being unreasonable for being fed up or if he should make more effort." "We have nothing in common, but I'm willing to compromise," she continued. "I'd go to a football match or I'd love him to come to a music event. He doesn't have to love it, it would just be spending that time together." The PEOPLE Puzzler crossword is here! How quickly can you solve it? Play now! The woman also said, "There are always reasons why he doesn't want to do something, yet if I do ever do something without ... asking, he sulks as to why he wasn't invited." "I don't miss out, because I end up doing these things with friends, but honestly, we've been together 7 years, and if I have to endure this forever, what is the point?" added the frustrated woman. As she questioned if she was in the wrong to "be fed up" with "how boring my partner is," the woman was met with support from fellow Mumsnet users. "I think you need to put it on the table as a dealbreaker, and that you see his complete lack of interest in doing anything as either a couple or a family as meaning the relationship is reaching the end of the line for you," one commenter wrote. "He's chosen to have a partner and a baby, and that means he needs to nurture both of those relationships, even if he doesn't love every hour of it.

Others, meanwhile, questioned the woman about why she would have a child with the man in the first place. In a follow-up comment, she revealed, "I fell pregnant unexpectedly after the first time I slept with him. Yes, cliché, I know." The woman further clarified in another comment: "I did know him beforehand as a friend, he used to go to pubs, as that's where we met. I think he's just outgrown that scene, which is fine, but he doesn't enjoy doing anything else." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Free padel sessions for kids at Southampton courts this summer
A popular padel operator is offering free sessions for children during the summer holidays. PadelStars is inviting children to play for free at its Southampton courts on Stoneham Lane as part of a new initiative. The scheme is aimed at addressing the rising costs of summer activities and the decrease in children's physical activity, and will run throughout the summer holidays. New research from Coram has revealed parents now spend more than £1,000 per child during the holidays, while only 47 per cent of children achieve the recommended daily activity levels.

Kylie Jenner Took Summer's Polka Dot Nail Trend to the Next Level
Getty Images Leave it to Kylie Jenner to take summer's polka dot nail art trend to a whole 'nother level. The reality star and Kylie Cosmetics founder, known for her glamorous approach to all things hair, makeup, and style, combined the classic dotted style with two more nail trends for something that feels 100 percent Kylie. Jenner has been enjoying a European vacation with friends and her children, Stormi and Aire (did you catch her adorable GWRM video with Stormi?), and, well, you can't enjoy the summer sunshine without a manicure to match! Jenner worked with London-based manicurist Michelle Humphrey on her latest set, and Humphrey didn't just decorate Jenner's nails with medium-sized polka dots atop a sheer base—she mixed them up with a white-tipped French manicure and gave the dots a shiny finish for a little extra pizzazz. Jenner's nails were filed into a long oval shape and painted with a sheer base, like the one you'd typically get with a French manicure. Humphrey then added the signature white tips of a French, but she and Jenner didn't stop there! Instead of regular polish dots, the two went for something with a bit more sparkle factor: chrome-finish metallic dots scattered all over the nail, including atop the white tips! Jenner wrote that she was 'obsessed' with the set and I am too. It manages to be both subtle and glam at the same time, so you could easily wear it to work or for a wedding or summer party and it would fit right in. The Kylie Cosmetics founder has been back into nail art this year, including with a snakeskin-printed set that would have been right at home on King Kylie Tumblr and the sweetest studded pastel French manicure. TBH, I often reference her tiny bug-themed manicure from last summer, which was so adorable and so out of character. (Those lime-green tips!) What's next for Jenner and her nail art? You know I'm paying attention. More fun celebrity manis: Megan Thee Stallion's Nails Are the Equivalent of Christian Louboutin Stilettos You Could Play "I Spy" with J.
