A few months ago I was compelled to write an ‘open letter’ (http://bit.ly/1dkuwcA). I suggested I’d organise a ‘sleepathon’ in San Francisco in aid of the homeless. The response has been amazing – if we can get just a few more people to sign up, it looks this event will happen in September! If you’re … Continue reading San Francisco Sleepathon… is coming!

Sleepathon
A few months ago I wrote this 'open letter'. The response was amazing and I'd like to see if I can make this event happen in September in San Francisco - so I wanted to repost this here and then I'll follow on with more details shortly.

The weekend consisted of dancing, laughing, drinking, firing water pistols at unsuspecting crowd members … Continue reading Adulescence

Way in West
It has been 8 months since I headed out West, from London to Bristol. In the last 4 weeks, life has pulled me to London, Greece, Turkey and Kenya (peripateticism still reigns). However, despite being sat at a desk bundled in a scarf, with the rain lashing from the gloom onto my rattling windows, it’s … Continue reading Way in West
