One of the facets of having ADHD is an inability to remember pretty much anything, roughly 20 seconds after it's happened. I've always known my memory was bad, but I've worked around it by being hyper-organised. That in itself leads to a level of anxiety that is...
My first post in 15 months. My first post about me in THREE YEARS. No wonder writing feels difficult. It won't come as a surprise if I told you I've had a difficult couple of years - I mean, we all have, haven't we? But pandemic aside, quite a lot of stuff in my...
Content warning: assault of sexual nature Oh hi again. Yes, I know, I've not been here much lately, but I have something important to say that needs to be heard. My acting work recently has been mainly limited to playing the hapless Stickman McTaggart in EWW. It's a...
I'm writing this in between two product demonstration sessions I'm running in London, which kinda sums up where I'm at right now - I'm exhausted. I've been working six-day weeks, and doing wrestling training on the seventh, for three weeks now. I'm starting to feel...
...I'm sorry. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret a minute of it. I've learned so much about myself, and I'm now in a place that I never thought I'd be. We had some great times together - we laughed (well, we corpsed), we cried, and we spent long periods looking at...
I've got a rare day off. Actually, I don't know why I say "day off", because there are still plenty of things to do - admin, invoicing, photo editing, marketing, organising podcast guests etc. I suppose in my mind it just means that I don't have to be anywhere today....
The last 24 hours have been almost unbearable. Confirmation has finally arrived that Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, chairman and owner of my beloved Leicester City Football Club, has passed away following the tragic helicopter crash after yesterday's match. This blog is...
I'm burnt out. As it's World Mental Health Day, I thought I'd write a blog about it. Now I know some people find writing about their mental health to be a therapeutic activity, but I really don't. Some people find putting down words - in blogs, in songs, in poems, in...
I'm proud of that title. It sums up this post so well. I'm aware that it isn't a revelation that my posts are often full of revelations from the proceeding weeks, but on this occasion the revelation has been that pretty much everything I've done over the past few...
I've had a lovely couple of weeks. I've been really busy - practically non-stop since the start of August - but the hard work provided almost immediate gratification. After the rush of three intense days in Edinburgh I returned to a welcome run of freelance work....
After not going last year, I decided on a whim to book three days in Edinburgh. I've been lucky enough to have had a good run of work for a few months now and so after a quick google of prices and availability, I realised that I could afford to head up this year,...
Ooh, over a month since my last blog? What has been going on then? Well, lots of stuff actually. Not sure I can remember much of it, mind. I guess the biggest thing has been a push for my photography. I've finally created my own photography website and I've started a...
