Beth

Okay, well maybe there are some positive aspects to writing off my car last year.

This one was my favourite, I found the giants way more difficult on day 2. Now I know which muscles to work out more at the gym.

Today I was a giant girl, a small elephant and something extinct

Yes, they ARE heavy.

Grateful to The Vale/Global Grooves for this, it was super interesting as well as challenging but I'm glad I've been doing strength training for a while too.

Had a tour around Ibsen's apartment today, I loved hearing how he spent his days and that he was a desperately shy person. Leave the introverts alone (and pay us well) and we'll create masterpieces.

His name is Angel, can confirm he is.

This is the impulsive part of my ADHD because a week ago I didn't know I'd be where I am today and yet, here I am...

Eating while on the move but promised I wouldn't eat junk and, so far not doing too bad.

Ep 7. Mic'd Moments

Lent my voice and words to this along with some other funny people.

Can't wait to do some more!

Busy week, last week!

This was so lovely.

Great to perform the work we've done together over the last 2 months but so, so amazing to see all of the other projects and the genuinely inspiring and valuable work being done in our communities.

Wait, so the last two days my trains have been delayed by more than 20 minutes so combined, I have spent almost an hour of my life waiting in the rain to go to work.

Delay repay for two tickets costing £15.40 is 53 pence? Wow.

I am not winning the game of capitalism.

Probably burning the candle at both ends a bit too much over the last 2 weeks but last minute invite to press night wasn't something I was going to turn down.

At least I have the mature restraint to do mid-week shenanigans sober these days unlike the reckless frolicking I used to do in my twenties.

Back here again yesterday for another workshop where I got to spend the morning as Beth and the afternoon as the Scottish variant of me, MACbeth which is frankly better than anything else I would normally be doing on a Sunday.

I like to take myself out on regular solo dates and adventures so this was to box off (no pun intended) the end of a busy week of annual leave.

Can't believe I have to go back to work in a couple of days. It's not for me, the 9 to 5 life. 👎

I walked into a workshop after eating pastry and said to the person who welcomed me, "Sorry I probably have pastry all over my face." They said, "No don't worry, I'd tell you if you did"

30 minutes in, I looked in a mirror and I absolutely had pastry crumbs on my face.

Hotly anticipated cameo from The Muppets didn't happen, but never mind. The show was still astounding. Maybe they didn't show up because Statler and Waldorf had nothing bad to shout about.

Kicking off October with a very busy day!

Looking forward to showcasing my self-written monologue at this!

Two tall, clear glasses partly filled with water on top of a slightly cluttered desk

Some days ADHD is crippling, exhausting and literally disabling.

Sometimes it's having two partly full glasses of water on your desk and not knowing which one is from today and which one you just carried in here from yesterday.

No spoons left to wash them both so a 3rd will soon join the party

Trying to deal with endless courier complaints at work while also trying to prep for auditions and a showcase feels like the universe saying,

"Hey babe. Life choices need to be made, maybe don't look down if a leap of faith becomes a thing, just pretend you're a bird and maybe you'll fly?"

Oh, it had to be THAT episode, didn't it. 😭

First of two events at Scene Manchester 2025.

Did not realise that row L was going to be the second row at a comedy gig and no one sat in front of us. We got papped laughing though as proof we contributed to the mirth.

This is unsolicited advice, take if it resonates: DO THINGS ALONE, it's better than not at all.

Planned to be at a workshop. It got cancelled. Already had the train tickets, went to London and met PUCK.

Spoke to strangers, took pictures of a couple on Tower bridge to upgrade their selfie.

Nice.

Dropped several hundred hints about getting chippy tea. Did get my way but extreme measures are always needed to make it from the chip shop back to the car without militant seagulls beating you up for your white pudding supper.
