I am really looking forward to Christmas.  I went to Westfield Shopping Centre at Shepherds Bush to meet the Wardrobe Manager for my next project.  He bought me loads of great clothes.  The decorations in the malls were fantastic and there is an ice skating rink.  There were a lot of designer shops that didn’t have the prices on the items.  So I think it was a case of,  if you need to ask the price, you can’t afford it.  We walked around after we finished getting the wardrobe clothes and we didn’t see everything because you would need a...

Congratulations to Alex Jarrett  in the junior round of @MonologueSlamUK @TriForceEvents  the winner.  I had a really good time on my first experience, doing a monologue on a stage and watched by a couple of hundred people.  I wrote my own piece and it was inspired by my Uncle who does have high spectrum Aspergers and Tourettes.   Here is the youtube link…. http://youtu.be/O-P3jgqKb-c Next year there is going to be a separate junior section which is most probably a good idea after watching my mum cringing in her seat while watching the adult’s section which contained some rude bits! My...
