By now you would have seen the tweets where I bang on about learning French. Many years ago in the (*cough*) I did six years of French but I failed. What a waste of six years of doing a language at high school! Since then, the only time I spoke the language was three times […]
Writing in a Journal
A funny thing happened while I started writing in a paper journal once again after many years. I’ve become calmer as it allows me to start the day with a positive note rather than reading something on social media and getting anxious about answering tweets and direct messages first thing in the morning. I’ve now […]

It was a blend of interviews in front of the camera, a short […]
