OH HIYI THERE I DID NOT SEE YOU UNDER MY BED

Challenging myself to write a blog post in 15 minutes. Because I have been procrastinating till now. Well actually, filling in my tax return. But I am so used to procrastinating in life any task to me is now a form of procrastinating till I don't know what. Death?



Thoughts when filling in my taxes made typed letters on Twitter:


Anyway, I was talking to a friend the other day about how, in the realm of blogging, often we wait too long for something worth happening to blog about, and then never blog for months on end. In fact you can hear that whole conversation and more here. Because it was when I was interviewing Ella Gordon about Wool Week for the Shetland Times podcast:

Fond moments from the Fringe, Buffet and Screenplay!

Been home for just over a week. And I remember what it's like on Shetland, an island of family and friends. So I'm heading off to find some fresh maet (men), but before I go, let me tell you how I am and what I'm been up to.

                                                 



Sitting in September, tired, with a beer belly and spotted skin. Physically exhausted and mentally drained, but all because of the last few weeks. An absolutely packed August and it was good. As to how I'm feeling now? I didn't expect to feel anything different. 

This year was my first full Edinburgh Fringe run. Whilst last year was my first time performing at the Fringe, I only did 11 shows. This was a full run with the PBH Free Fringe. 21 shows, over 22 days, with extra guest slots and filming for the BBC during. It would be too easy for me to fall into a detailed retelling of all the anecdotes from the last month, including The Buffet and Screenplay. It would also be too easy to gush endlessly about new friendships and sweet moments of catching up with old acquaintances.
