When my singing teacher joked, “You’ve played the keyboard in videos now, you should play the bass next time!” I allowed myself a giggle. Me? A bass player? The idea was ludicrous; a notion for a comedy show…. and yet…. The next evening, Dad suggested that I try his out. It took me five minutes […]

Personal Views I have wanted to write this essay for three nights, and finally, I am ready to get it all out. There are some TV series that have a lasting, profound effect on me. Life on Mars is just that. When it came onto our screens in 2006, it wasn’t only addictive because it […]

For all of us, it has been a tough start to the year. The Coronavirus has shaken the world, and sometimes we all don’t know what’s coming and going. 2020 was meant to be so good, better than last year, and already, we all want to see the back of it. The loss of my […]

I was speaking to my friend yesterday, who said to me that I should list everything that I’ve done that’s positive in my life. In no order….. (except my book!) It was a really good idea, especially as I’ve always been so against myself, so I’m putting together a list of all my accomplishments, and […]

Until yesterday afternoon, I hadn’t written my book for months. One reason was the job at the autistic school; a real irony, as I cared about the position so much that I wanted to excel there…. then they asked me not to return (Ugggg, why did I bother?) For more details of my severely-pummeled-confidence, full […]

I honestly can’t believe how much the world has changed since the discovery and warnings over Coronavirus. I am positive (because you have to remain so!) that it will be solved, we will discover a vaccine and all of these disasters will disappear. However, in the meantime, restaurants, bars, sporting halls, cinemas, theatres, events, concerts, […]

It’s now been a month since my depression kicked off, and I am eventually going to reveal why. On the 4th February, my Mum passed away. As a rule, she loathed social media, but after the funeral last week, I think she wouldn’t mind me posting the eulogy that I wrote and read out during […]

All we’ve been hearing about so far? The Coronavirus. Now, before I start this, I want to make it transparently clear that my entry is not here to offend. It is not being penned to be judgmental or accusatory. It is supposed to make people laugh, give some emotional support in these testing, upsetting, and […]
