The one thing I would do differently during Covid. It's been a while but that just means this post is going to be like aged wine. I did something rather foolish recently. I travelled from my cosy home in London to Sydney at the height of the omicron variant of covid. In the UK we have gotten
Sleigh the Dragon Recently I created a new WhatsApp group. I say recently for the point of the story - it was actually 18-23 months ago but I am not sure enough to be certain. I mean I could look it up, but that would involve me opening up WhatsApp and seeing when
I am back Hi there. I am back. Well, I have been back for and long time but days turned into weeks and even though that has happened for my entire life I am still not used to it. I haven't been posting not because I am out of ideas, on
Why I am stopping watching youtube Hello everyone and welcome back. I have had such a fantastic three weeks. The cruise with my daughter was so wonderful and we will share those memories forever. We also had a great week this week as we went on a staff retreat in Bath. Insert bath joke here. There
I steal things Ok, have you all recovered from the last post? I don't know why I am going deep lately but it has been fun... well I cried a lot and I guess that is fun. Right? RIGHT? Let's put my constant need for validation aside and talk
I want to be a professional memory maker One of the hardest things about this blog is not making it 100% about Hamilton. I am not a fanatic, but I can understand those who are. You may remember that I watched it with the world's best view, and I came out upset about Hamilton's
The most unnatural thing in the world Yesterday we had a real treat, we were invited to the wedding of our friends Nico and Bianca. The day was simply beautiful and quickly became a cherished memory in our family's London adventure. We felt very honoured to be invited and even more honoured that invitation extended
My Rule and why I break it Hello everyone, have you recovered from my Squid Games post? That was not fun to write, it took twice as long as usual as it was a heavy topic and though I didn't really know where I was going with it, I knew I had to write it.
Squid Games - The thing I shouldn't have done I am a bit nervous. I am going to talk about something I did the other day that I kind of wish I didn't do. I watched the Squid Games on Netflix. The reason I am nervous is that this is not something I normally watch and I
Give yourself a (hand) break Deep breath. That is what I had to tell myself yesterday. Everything was just a bit too much. You know the days I am talking about. It's hard to pinpoint a reason why (though I have my suspicions) but it was very tough. Side note: why do I
Time is my friend - The Hamilton Experience I love London. 'Wow, what happened?' Time. After my terrible London experience last week, London has very much redeemed itself. It could be that we had a little mini summer this last week (temps of 28/82 degrees c/f), but it also could be that I won
Well I was going to blog about Pippin Living in London is fun until it's not. I had tickets to see a small production of Pippin, which is one of my most favourite musicals. I knew this was going to be a highly moving experience, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you all...but
High Achieving & Low Skilled I had a real treat this week - I got to record some songs at a studio. When I say songs, I mean a bunch of 1 min theme songs and when I say studio, I mean the storage cupboard at my friend's place. But still, Razzle Dazzle!
Lockdown Life Hacks to keep you sane I still remember NYE 1999. I was with a friend and his family at Ulverstone Park in sunny Tasmania. I remember the anticipation of a new year mixed with the potential doom that the whole world would shut down because when they made computers they never thought to include 4
My current list of Struggles: August 2021 I am currently discovering what the purpose of this blog is. It seems to be part entertaining, part encouraging, part sharing my life, and part imparting wisdom. It's the last one that I want to be careful about, because I don't want to give off the
Why we should delay High School So I live in London now which is epic, but it has meant some of my stories have less impact now. Let me explain. I was once talking to a friend on a film shoot and she mentioned that her 1 year wedding anniversary was coming up. I asked how
Struggle's Ugly Siblings Hey, so the blog has launched. Nice. I have had my first 10 subscribers, and I am extremely grateful for every one of them. You will always be in the first 10 club and have a special place in this blog. Has this created FOMO in anyone else? Good, subscribe
I am always a Free Guy I am not a huge movie guy, but I make a habit of making sure I enjoy them when I go see a movie. It could be my crazy desire to make sure I get my money's worth 'I paid $15 to see this movie, I will
Struggles, my old friend It's funny; when I was thinking about what to start writing a blog about, I struggled. I needed something that someone else could relate to, but my areas of expertise are pretty niech. How do you spell neich? You know the word that means not mainstream. You know
