I don’t own a million DVD’s, but like most people I have gathered a few over the years and they now sit on shelves in my living room gathering dust. I don’t even own a DVD player that I can use (I do have one, but its old and doesn’t connect the new TV without … More The DVD collection gathering dust in the corner…
So I was feeling very happy with myself recently. I’d been looking at what was on at the local theatres and saw that Everyman was being shown at the Buxton Opera House, and it was staring none other than Chiwetel Ejiofor! How cool! A London production on tour with a massive actor whom I think is … More Everyman – a National Theatre Live experience
My time with wnDirect is (once more) coming to and end.

Life should be about the fun stuff. Living. Doing things you want. New things. Or things you enjoy. Its not just about working. We work so we can live – we do not live to work. Having just returned to working life (4 months in now) having been off for 18 months it scares me … More How easy it is to fall back in to bad habits!
