Hello. It’s been a while since I last blogged, for a couple of reasons: I’ve been busy with actual acting work (IMAGINE?!?!), and also with what I refer to as my “real writing”, which for some reason isn’t what I call this blog, something which doesn’t really make much sense, given that it has reached … Continue reading When the Going gets Tough…
Hello! It's me again. Giving my tuppence before anyone has asked for it. What can you do? I'm just a pain in the arse like that. You're welcome. I've actually started a couple of blog posts over the last few weeks, which I haven't got round to finishing because I was distracted by work, or … Continue reading Riding the Trough of the Wave
Brexit Negotiations begin today. What a time to be Alive, eh? Before I begin, first, my apologies - I promised myself I wouldn't blog about politics, but this is about politics having an impact on mental health. Now... for those who are reading this and don't know me, I'm going to be dreadful and self … Continue reading You May Say I’m A Dreamer
Hello! First things first... after all my recent posts, you'll be glad to hear that this one isn't about my broken head. It's about my broken friendships. JUST KIDDING! It's about friendship. Friendship and acting. A few months ago, I was talking to a woman who I love very dearly, and whose opinion I value … Continue reading I Got You, Babe
I was in a show tonight. It was a night of short plays about Race, Religion and Culture in modern society. The woman who was hosting the night was a singer (A very good one), and in light of both the theme of the night, and the recent events in Manchester and London, she closed … Continue reading A Love Letter to Those Who Help Us Through It
Tonight I was in a meeting. I was snappy and I was moaney. And afterwards I sent an email to everyone who was there to apologise and allude to why that was. I got some lovely emails telling me that I hadn't been. But I know those people. Those people are genuinely lovely, they just … Continue reading You ok, hun?
Who doesn't love an Ace of Base lyric, eh? Oh, you don't? Bit weird. Anyway... Hello! Are you sitting comfortably? Brilliant. Then I'll begin. Me. Me. Me. Me. Me. That is what I don't want this blog to be about. Me. It will, despite that, probably be a lot about Me, because they always tell you … Continue reading “I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign”
This is a post I want to write, but having promised myself I will do my best not to get too angry in this blog, I've decided to keep the words to a minimum, and let the figures do the talking. As Lord Kelvin said, “When you can measure what you are speaking about, and … Continue reading If the numbers don’t add up;
First things first - it is a lovely thing when people show an interest in what you do. Seriously, it is, but sometimes, when two worlds collide, and People-Who-Binge-Watch-Netflix-And-Admit-It’s-Just-For-Pleasure come into contact with People-Who-Binge-Watch-Netflix-And-Tell-Themselves-It’s-Just-For-Research, many a conversation is had, which both parties end up walking away from unsatisfied. In this the post, I provide a … Continue reading “You’re an Actor? Don’t you mean Actress?”
I am very open about my mental health issues. Too open, some might say. Ok, fine… I literally never shut the hell up about them. The reason for my being that way, is that I think it’s important for other people suffering from mental health problems to actually see that they’re not alone, rather than … Continue reading My Stupid, Idiotic, Broken Head
