Life's about experiences. These are mine.
In this months episode of ‘Why don’t you just switch off your television set and go out and do something less boring instead‘ I went to the Science Museum and specifically to visit a temporary exhibition called Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination.… Read the rest
I was looking through the blog posts of a friend of mine when I saw one called “25 Things (Slight Return)“. This was based upon one of these annoying social media trends where you have to complete a list and then get x people to do the same.… Read the rest
My annual round-up of the year just gone (you can read 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021‘s reports). This was very much a transitional year as I moved from working part time to retirement at the end of August.… Read the rest

On a trip up North over the last few days we visited Scarborough home of the Stephen Joseph Theatre. Most closely associated with Alan Ayckbourn (all but four of his plays have debuted there) but we weren’t seeing an Ayckbourn but the revival of a play called Constellations by Nick Payne.… Read the rest
