Well isn’t this bloomin lovely? @comedyclub4kids.bsky.social

Daughter came home with this book on Cristiano Ronaldo in her book bag today. Now, I know nothing about football, so I’ll have to assume that he only plays with *checks very factual book for details* his numerous identical brothers…

Celebrated #WorldTheatreDay like all good actors, actually, by spending it all at my day job 🤗

Hi - any of you writing, Journo pals out there know of someone in the press who’d be interested in me writing a piece about my PIP nightmares? I will supply some gags as well. Can people please repost this please.

No real idea what this week's blog is about, but here it is anyway: open.substack.com/pub/tiernand...

This week's blog thingy about fermenting. Personally and gastronomically. open.substack.com/pub/tiernand...

I don’t check out casting calls like I used to, but came across this in my archive today. The last two lines never fail to absolutely floor me…

Leaving every audition like…

When they let Leonardo DiCaprio do the casting…

Very much here for the staff of IKEA inventing fake board games for their room display

6yo’s “diary entry” today probably sums up why I’m not a parenting influencer…

I wrote a new Substack post on the importance of drama training, a point that my failing acting career really undermines, but here are some scrambled thoughts anyway… proresting.substack.com/p/maintainin...

New blog thing. I have no idea what I'm doing with these but if that works for you, then do subscribe to have this shit sent straight to your email. open.substack.com/pub/tiernand...

The best thing about being self employed is seeing everyone post how they’re back to work today, while I’m still comfortably in my PJs quietly terrified that I’ll never have work ever again.

Started a new substack of wittering thoughts because I suppose its nice to have something else to waste time on eh? Anyway, here's post numero one if you fancy a read and a subscribe: open.substack.com/pub/tiernand...

Wrote this post exactly a year ago and I could write a new one but this one still pretty much stands, so in the spirit of reduce, reuse and recycle, here it is reposted… open.substack.com/pub/proresti...

Bought this Clarice Tudor print today from @goshcomics.bsky.social. We haven’t even put it up yet but just looking at it makes me grin so much.

Actors! Only 2 days until you’ll happily bring up politics just to divert yet another question from your uncle on why he hasn’t seen you on Silent Witness yet.

Love to get a school text casually informing parents of a gingerbread competition with just 2 hours’ notice…

Actors! Only 14 days until you realise that this game of charades is the most performing you’ve done all year.

Actors! Only 15 days until you have to explain to the whole table why you can’t “just do some voiceovers”.

Actors! Only 16 days until your cousin asks why you don’t just do some adverts instead.

Hello! It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business. My online shop is full of unique Christmas gift ideas. gailmyerscough.co.uk

Actors! Only 17 days until your uncle asks why you can’t just get a part in EastEnders.

Actors! Only 18 days until you have to explain to your gran that, no, it wouldn’t make a difference if Steven Spielberg knew how nice you are.

Actors! Only 19 days until you have to explain to your mum that, (1) it’s Greta Gerwig, not Greta Garbo, and (2), no, you can’t just “send her your CV”.

Actors! Only 20 days until you have to explain to your grandad that no, this is your real job.

Actors! Only 21 days until your polite response to your brother’s new girlfriend asking if you’ve been in anything they might’ve seen is your biggest acting job of the year.

Actors! Only 22 days until you have to explain to your uncle that, no, you can’t just “write to Netflix”.

Me: … My brain at 2am:

Actors! Only 23 days until you realise your niece’s role in the school nativity means she is closing out this year with a better acting CV than you.

Actors! Only 24 days until you have to explain to your aunt that you can’t just ask to be in Line of Duty. #actorsadvent

Where on the self-tape form is the declaration that your 6-year-old was trying to distract you with her bum the whole time?

What I love about acting is that this weekend I have to prepare for a job where I’m playing a 16-year-old as well as send off self-tape for a HRT commercial.

I think about this from Duolingo every day…

6-year-old is currently into making up multiple choice trivia questions. Her latest is: Q: Normal frogs are… A: Poisonous B: Slimy C: Okay D: Dangerous. Sadly the answer was not C, and this is why kids are… A: Curious B: Puzzling C: Disappointing D: All of the above

Hey there! You! Do you love confusingly sporadic Substack posts that ramble on with no real point? Well then, you’re gonna love this thing that I put about as much effort into as I do my tax returns… proresting.substack.com

I’m 41 today, or 186 in actress years.

Because we’re entering the part of the never-ending yearly cycle where we have to be ready for the fact our landlord might end our contract, I’ve signed up for property alerts and oh god…

Watched this last night and it is ridiculously good. Incredible acting. Incredible music. Incredible story. Just bloody great all round.

If people are posting what they were known for on Twitter then I suppose I ought to let this ridiculous casting call live on Bluesky too…

Hi there. If you’ve never seen Get Krack!n then a) we can’t be friends and b) S1 is now all on YouTube so there’s a slight chance we could be friends*. It’s such a stupidly funny show youtu.be/sHPrWGOn1iI?... *not really. I have 4 friends already so you have to queue & hope one betrays me or dies

So excited to be back here after completely forgetting about it. Bluesky, please meet my skincare routine, yoga practice, acting career and sourdough starter.

What’s that? She’s back here just to push her Substack out? Yep, apparently so. On New Year’s resolutions, failing and taking tiny steps… open.substack.com/pub/proresti...

Actors! Only 20 days until your aunt asks why you don’t just get yourself an agent…
