I actually sparred in my kickboxing class tonight. Properly punching and kicking someone and then them properly punching and kicking me. I was terrified at first but it was exhilarating. I’d forgotten how much I enjoy kickboxing 🥊🥊🥊

Erin I've slightly disassociated from world news to stop my currently functioning depression from sliding into something more severe.
I'm sorry I've not kept up & don't know why/how you're expceted to go to work without pay. But I'm sending so much love and fortitude. Here if you need a rant/chat xx

I don't think I'll ever have main character energy...more like NPC energy! 😅

How lovely. I don't know if you've read Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell (one of my top fave authors) but the trailer for the film came out and it looks incredible. I do so love Stratford - enjoy yourself x

They are AWFUL! The only time I was close to CMB and might have had the chance to get an autograph was the time in NY when the autograph hunters basically stormed her so her bouncers lead her away. Still don't have her autograph 😭

Omg! You saw Hamnet?? I’m so jealous. Loved the book, Maggie O’Farrell is one of my favourite authors I’m so looking forward to this.

So rude. They even tell you before the performance. I can't bear it when people flout the rules like that, ruins it for everyone.

Oh I know what you mean about the comfort in things you already know - I have been rewatching lots of beloved old shows recently because there isn't much space in my brain for new ones. Sending big hugs 💜🫶🏽

Yes, he write so well and I love the super short chapters and I already love Patch and Saint so much. I know it's going to be tough going but I think the rest of it makes up for it.
