I am glad that I know Glasgow pretty well, not only because it makes studying there easier but also because it doesn’t feel as bad as perhaps it would knowing that the last time I was here I went on a date with The Fae Ref. I suspect if I ever end up in A&E … Read More
2020 was a study in grief for me, an understanding of the sheer heaviness of it, the shaking emotion of it. Every day I had to remind myself in the morning that my father was dead, because I was terrified that I would forget and try to call him or have to relive the initial … Read More
I am staying in The White County at The Jellicle’s parents for Christmas. I’m not sure the last time I was here for Christmas, to be quite honest I’m not sure the last time I wasn’t working until Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and yet this year I finished yesterday and I’m not working again … Read More

I also think I’m happier with the notion of putting things into display books rather than needing everything to be up on a wall so … Read More
I think that of all the emotions grief is my least favourite.
Nearly the end of my week off. I say week off, I’ve been working from home, sending emails and making phonecalls for the high risk guy I can’t go in for and prepping things for other client’s I’m working for at the weekend. Obviously this being me I’ve also organised two tabletop rpg games, one … Read More
