Great session at drama group last night: lots of improv. and moving around which was huge fun. My big speech was ‘I don’t believe it!’ which I tried not to do like Victor Meldrew: I was a single parent being shown a crummy house by a sleazy landlord. Jason talked about extras in Corrie etc [ READ MORE ]
Rejoice! I have a new laptop, courtesy of some unexpected nuns at St Matthews (you don’t expect nuns at St Matthews under any circumstances, as those of us who know Leicester will assure you).

It’s national bird-watching day today, as I’m sure you knew.

Apparently battery hens no longer exist in the EU, which is a Good Thing. I hadn’t noticed there weren’t any non free-range eggs; only that it was easier to get hold of the free-range variety than it had been. But according to Mark they have been universally banned. Cheers. However, people can always find new [ READ MORE ]
What connects the above? I’ll tell you in a mo… I am finding the news particularly depressing and anxiety-inducing at the moment, so instead I am listening to this. Highly recommended, especially if you are worried about anything: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d63COahIpVM Today I have a yoga session with a student: I also have to complete the work [ READ MORE ]
