Llama hats are brilliant. During the summer they’re slightly less brilliant, so I haven’t had much opportunity to show off my membership of the Llama Hat club since the inaugural night with Mr Wayne. During our visit to Hastings a few weeks back, however, I got an opportunity to adorn Read more…
Long while since the last entry and there’s lots to talk about! It’s been a rather manic month-or-two, one way or another, so I wasn’t entirely sure where to start. Given that I’m currently plonked in front of my new computer, however, I thought I’d start there! Due to Nadia Read more…
This weekend I have been mostly getting covered in paint. As part of our Spare Room Rejiggling, we wanted to get rid of the deep, dark purple that has been on the walls since we moved in and shift over to something a little brighter and less girly goth. The Read more…

Other than occasionally strenuous FXhome release deadlines, I haven’t Read more…
Back in the day, I used to make films. They weren’t particularly good but they were great fun to put together. More importantly, they taught me a lot about what not to do. Unfortunately, just as I felt like I was grasping what was necessary to make something decent, I Read more…
No, not of my novel, Evinden, but of a film script I’ve been working on for a fair few weeks now. Rather a long slog, and it’s still only a first draft, but at last the entire thing is down on paper. As usual with everything I write, it’s far Read more…
