When I moved into my new house one of the things that drew me there was the location. Quiet street with plenty of parking and lots of little local shops. There’s a mini supermarket on the corner, a library, coffee shops and even a fishmonger. At the end of the street is the metro, so [...]
Writing scripts takes a while.
The scripts themselves aren’t always so bad. It is the knuckling down and focussing on writing them that’s the trickiest part. All distractions are suddenly welcome. Anything that forces me to write is to be avoided at all costs. In my head I want to do it but my physical reluctance to [...]

‘I’m playing golf [...]

My mistake, I though the website said camping and caravanning.
Yes, it does. We mean camping in caravans, not tents. We don’t do tents.
Right.
We had a helper today, just for a little while. She got the job of laminating the mountain of papers that needed to be done. It’ll save me from staying until 9.30 again tonight.
When she came back her arms were brimming with shiny plasticated paper.
‘If I ever become a wrestler’, she began somewhat unexpectedly, ’I want to be called The [...]
I entered the anonymous building and ascended to the fourth floor. A group of some 30 new recruits were being pressed with nibbles and wine. Here we were exposed to the ultimate brain washing experience. Akin to an attempt at my religious conversion they chanted: The city is good. The city is great. We have [...]
