I joined a puppetry playtime workshop this evening and 10/10 would recommend as a balm for the soul. Feeling restored and entirely put back together. I love puppets.

Hey folks - posting for a colleague, they're looking for Kenyan voice actors of any gender with access to a good remote recording setup. It's a paid role - if you're interested, please comment and I'll pass on your info (if you don't fit the brief, signal boosting is appreciated, thank you!)

Ai Ninomiya’s voice never fails to give me goosebumps. Enjoy this footage of her singing the theme song from My Neighbour Totoro at West End Live earlier today.

Recorded some audition tapes this morning, which is something I’ve not done in an absolute age. It was fun and the home studio still sounds good so if anyone needs a little Tan voice for their audio drama/game/something else, HMU.

I am (sadly) one of Sarah Pochin’s constituents and I have absolutely no concerns about the burqa. It is 💯 a non-issue in Runcorn I guarantee it.

Day 6 of nocturnal cough. I am so over it now. Would like some sleep please. (Yes, I am in bed propped upright like a vampire. No, it doesn’t make a jot of difference.)

There are some new murals under the old bridge in Runcorn. I think they’re pretty cool.

Am spending a couple of days hanging out with old friends in London and, honestly, it is just the balm my heart needed. Nothing like old pals to bring you back to yourself.

Heartbroken that it’s come to this. Zombies, Run! has been a huge part of my life for over 10 years and the good folks at Six to Start are some of the best people I’ve ever worked with.

Have a listen to this and consider for a moment what women could be achieving if we weren’t so busy looking after everyone else. Still. In 2025.

20 years since I saw this at Soho Theatre 😦 It was a profoundly formative theatre experience and I still think about it often.

My bread lame fell out of a cupboard onto my index finger this afternoon giving it a goodly slicing. Ouch. Don’t recommend.

It’s a new year. I hope you get the respite and recovery you need, because I can’t imagine 2025 will be in any way straightforward. Find joy where you can, cherish peace when it finds you, and don’t be a dickhead. 🥳

Reflecting on 2024, it felt like a very welcome mellow one for us as a family. Quite the opposite of interesting times in fact. Quietly I managed to make work I was incredibly proud of. It won’t make any lists or break any ground but if I never get to make a show again, I’ll be happy having made it.

Your annual reminder that mincemeat makes a warming and festive addition to your morning porridge. (Especially if you make your own with plenty of brandy and suet 😋)

Also heartbroken to hear about the closing of Coney. So much play and joy over the years after I discovered them down some type of rabbit hole at the BAC 1-2-1 Festival many moons ago. Grateful I got to play those games.
