So, erm... that's me. I'm on a @bafta reel.

(My face is currently sitting on a grid next to icons and superstars like Jamie Lee Curtis, Regé-Jean Page and Viola Davis. What is this? I don't understand.)

I don't think it's quite yet sunk in that I was on a live BAFTA Masterclass panel last month, because things have been so manic for... well, forever.

But it must have happened because... this is evidence? I think?

You can watch the reel on @bafta's channel and the whole video via their YouTube channel.

For real, I'm still in some sort of fever dream, right?

I'm... just going to go and sit down somewhere for a little while, and have a nice, quiet think*.

*(For like, all 5 minutes, before I totally need to get back to work)

Forgot to post this with everything going on last

Forgot to post this with everything going on last year - the super talented Maz (they dont have an Insta account but are on Twitter: Mazhem Art - @ MazhemA) did this excellent quick 5 minute marker pen sketch of me when I was at the AdventureX social last November.

(I had a lot on my mind at the time, and clearly failed in trying to hide it from an artist's soul piercing gaze 😅)

To say my fortunes and feelings for this year have

To say my fortunes and feelings for this year have been mixed, would be an understatement.

I tend not to post the super specifically personal stuff on social media. But I've made it no secret that the last few months have been really difficult.

At the same time, there's a reason why I use social media for the good stuff - so I can remember it through the fog of bad that tends to often sit at the top of my memory.

And so it's nice to look back at some of the better things which have happened in 2022.

Also, after difficult, traumatic and horrible experiences, I tend to be set on a path of just doing stuff which would have scared or limited me before. Because screw it.

So... I'm working on something... scary and different for 2023. Working on it is already changing my life, in strange ways. It's kinda terrifying and difficult and intense. But it's also something I've been wanting to do for years. And if not now, then when? 👀

In the meantime - Happy New Year, good people. Whether 2022 has been nice to you or not, I hope 2023 is far better and kinder.
