It’s Friday, and the weekend is just around the corner. That means it is time to kick up your feet and relax with some quick fire questions. This ‘Time Out’ features Rebecca Aldridge, managing director at Nottingham financial planning firm Balance: Wealth Planning, who is a secret sourdough bread expert.
What is the first thing you do to get the weekend started?
Doing something fun on a Friday night is a must – it always makes the weekend seem longer. I quite often have tickets on a Friday to see something at Nottingham Playhouse or Broadway cinema.
What is your hobby?
Going to the theatre, seeing live music, dance, and that sort of thing. I love a show.
What is your favourite movie?
Tricky to have an all time favourite, but recent favourites have been Anora and Parasite, both so fierce, funny and well observed.
If you hadn’t been successful at what you do, what would you be doing instead as a career?
My aim at school was to be a theatre director but that’s a difficult career path. I’d probably have been a project manager of some sort – I love spreadsheets and systems.
If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
I’d freeze time around me, so I could have more time to get things done or enjoy fun experiences. But I’d definitely also want a cool superhero costume with a staff I could wave about like Zeus or Thor to make time to do my bidding.
What is your secret talent?
I can make great sourdough bread.
What is your favourite genre of music?
I love indie bands with fierce, slightly angry female lead singers. Wet Leg are amazing, and Amyl and the Sniffers too.
If you could travel to any moment in time, where would you go?
Time travel’s overrated. Look at Dr Who and the burdens he/she has to bear. I’ll stay right here.
