MMXXIV

2024 - wow, what a mental year. Am I allowed to say 'mental' these days? A close-shave with death, a new film camera to master, a holiday in Whitby, three trips to England, a new musical show, a hundred books read, a ferryboat project, graffiti artist to help, English exams to organise, what happens when you back a three-legged human horse, amateur actors giving me the run-around, defending Ukraine, bike riding and hitting 61 years old. A loose record of my professional life as a teacher in France and a 'creative' in UK throughout 2024. I could go on forever about all I've done since but it'd take too long and bore the pants off you, if you wear any that is. All I can say is that I'll continue to do my best to stay sane with integrity and pure luck. A glimpse into the mad world I love so much.
