I've had the house to myself for a week and it's been very enjoyable. I've been so used to sharing my space and living with others so this week of solitude has been pretty relaxing. I've been just chilling around the place, lounging, walking about - I'm a solitary creature at heart and this time... Continue Reading →
I had my first lazy day in ages today. Sometimes a lazy day is needed, although taking one always has to be done in moderation. Too many lazy days consecutively can result in productivity screeching to a halt and that is a dangerous thing. I woke up at the normal time today but stayed in... Continue Reading →
I've had a week of socialising this week - out for dinner, went to gigs, spoke to friends. It was basically a holiday week without boarding a plane, packing a bag or actually going anywhere.

I've invested too much time into these mixtapes, they became my go-to thing during 2020 and they are coming back after a brief hiatus. What's... Continue Reading →
Hmm what's happened since the last edition of The Lockdown Mixtape? Well... We've had a tornado in London, it has rained loads and I've joined a tennis club just in time for the Wimbledon rush.
