So.....

...welcome to the Internet's newest blog! I suddenly decided to set this up on a whim, as I do with most of my life. Never put more than a day's work into deciding anything, me. Still, this costs nothing so I thought why the hell not. Anyway, justifications over with, this is what I'm thinking right now.

Got back from an insane three days at the Edinburgh Festival yesterday, so absolutely exhausted but also very happy. Saw 12 shows in three days, including Rhod Gilbert (perfect), a transsexual female comedienne (wry, interesting), and a lorra lorra rainy street theatre. Bloody brilliant, inspiring almost. I've often thought I'd like to be a performer in some capacity, nice to see people going up there in their thousands to have a go themselves. And hats off to the wonderful city of Edinboro for devoting itself entirely to the event. The only downside was on the last night when the last gig I'd booked got cancelled. This was following my having walked all the way up Cowgate and back to see it in the sodding rain! Never mind.

So back to reality now. Leaving for Manchester in a few days, moving into **SHOCK** a flat with another man, I'm sure Phil and I will keep it spotless, for the first time ever. Looking forward to my new course and meeting new people, less looking forward to having to grovel to law firms over the next year in search of a TC. Gotta b done though. The economic slowdown might bring everything to a halt as it is, but I'm more than prepared to beaver away for as long as necessary. And of course there's always the pro bono community.

That's it really, I've enjoyed it, hope you have, speak soon!
