It’s been a bit of a minute. I’m typing this on my phone and I’ve always written on a laptop; it feels a bit weird. It’s smaller. I think when you have a job it limits you to a physical space and time. You have to get up each morning and eat lunch and leaveContinue reading “2024”

The Resting of a Steak
Written in summer 2020. The urge to write often creeps across me in the night-time. Laying in bed I’ll try to turn off my mind, normally with the assistance of a Bon Iver album. Sometimes the strategy works, sometimes not. Tonight seems to be one of the latter. My brain is full of ideas. IdeasContinue reading “The Resting of a Steak”

My First Blog Post
The Journey Be Kind — everybody/anybody How to start to open up.. Everybody is fighting their own battles. If we all speak about how we’re feeling, removed from fear of judgement that can only be a good thing. I’ve found that writing helps me. I’ve kept all of my writing private until now. It wasContinue reading “My First Blog Post”
