Uncategorized

Hi, Ah, Friday at last. I am much improved after a night out to Chams. Whatever pressure release value is activated by that, it certainly does the trick. Fighting the good fight Conversely, and if I’m honest, Thursday morning was not altogether great. Not The Brown Stuff Has Enterted the Rotating Ventilation Device levels of bad, but all the same, I could’ve done without it 🙄 I say this as writing helps me process things, but I think it also shows that we all wobble a bit from time to time.

It is… quite the ride and certainly one not for certain auidences – perhaps despite the lead character, Bryon’s, young years of fifteen when we first meet him. The cast, writing, and production are amazing, and – if I may – this shines through even in the harrowing […]
