June 1 in All Good Things

It's June 1 again. For the twelfth time since the morning I woke up to discover that the life of the man I loved had abruptly ended while I slept. This year was probably the best lead-up to the...

Bristol in All Good Things

"Oh, I'm so happy...." My text to Annette half a minute ago. So very true. I just got home a few minutes ago, exactly three hours after the last show ended in Bristol. We had to dash a mile a...


Okay, it's getting ridiculous now. I know I originally planned this year to be about travel, but then I cancelled my big trips! Except I still seem fated to never be home. Tomorrow Annette and...


Life just keeps getting better and better. I imagine it's all going to crash down around me at some stage, but I really hope not. Ever since I officially quit my job a month ago, my life has be...

Wimbledon 2 in All Good Things

It was. Thursday was one of the best days of my life. Friday and Saturday were pretty perfect, too. After a long conversation with Simon on Thursday between shows, my 'love' for him is now cem...


That pretty much sums up my week so far.... Annette and I have been having so much fun. I'm actually getting to hang out with her three times this week, which is more times than I'd seen her th...


This week in Scotland has been the highlight of my year so far. It's been absolutely incredible. I could hardly have asked for more. It started in London with me going in to the office of the ...


Right now I love Jon and Simon and Chris and I love that I get to spend the next five weeks with them. They are inspiring my transformation and I’m so very grateful to have them: life and peace ...


I think I just ended my marriage. I've known for a long time it's been coming, probably for a couple of years, but I've been trying everything I can to save it. Tonight I accepted that it's not...

Newcastle in All Good Things

Newcastle is being absolutely amazing. I'm not going to go into detail, but I just wanted to say that. Especially compared to bloody Southampton. I'm writing again. Not much, but the words ha...

Dubai Endings in All Good Things

I've quit my job. Finally and completely. It happened on Wednesday, and Thursday was my last ever day. It's over. I'm free. Afterwards I went out to celebrate with four good friends who happ...


Can't really write. Too busy having a meltdown. Can't go. Can't do this. Have no choice. No choice at all. Even when I'm trapped in a middle seat on the plane which I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT DO, ...

Southampton in All Good Things

Southampton was bad. I really hated the place and the people seemed very odd. And their theatre has the worst sight lines of any theatre I've ever been in. A couple next to me on Friday night ...


I'm looking forward to getting away. I'm not sure why. Suddenly I want out of my house, the home where I've been so happily hiding from the world for the past few months. It's not that I want ...

Woking in All Good Things

Woking owed me, that's all I can say. One of the worst days of my life happened there, and now one of the best has. I needed to replace those memories. Those ghosts. I had a good week. The p...

Spring awakening in All Good Things

Having a tooth extracted is a lot more traumatic than I ever suspected. I hope I never have to go through that again. That said, I've probably got off rather lightly given that my dentist phobi...

Goodbye, Glasgow in All Good Things

It's 2am. My train leaves at 9.30, so I need to check out in about six hours. I should sleep. I don't want to leave. It's been magical. Over and over again. I've come to Glasgow for work a ...

Snowy Scotland in All Good Things

I'm in Scotland. Far more civilised. Don't let me ever leave the first world again. I've somewhat opted out of life. Other than the two weeks in Dubai in early December, I haven't worked sinc...

Africa in All Good Things

I got really ill in Africa, deep in the remoteness of the Serengeti in Tanzania. Finally made it home on Sunday after several days of 13-hour drives on ghastly roads in baking heat and thick clo...

Zimbabwe in All Good Things

All is going well. My Facebook update today, my first day with access to Internet: In brief: BA lost my luggage in Joburg - but restored it to me eventually. Got drenched by Victoria Falls (alwa...


I leave tonight for Victoria Falls via Johannesburg. It's finally starting to feel real. Last night was my final Swan Lake. I'd been dreading it, dreading Tuesday night for weeks, because I di...

Swan/Stranger in All Good Things

It was Simon tonight. Against all odds. God, he looks good, both shirtless as a swan and in the Stranger's black leather trousers. I never got the attraction of leather before seeing it on Sim...

Better.... in All Good Things

I feel so much better than I did this afternoon it's hard to believe. I don't know why I suddenly had such a complete and utter meltdown. It culminated when I got to the theatre this evening to...

2014 in All Good Things

Usually I love new year. It's my favourite holiday, the only one I actually like. It's always been kind of sacred to me. Not so much this year. This year I didn't even care. I just lay on th...


December 28, 2013

Still in All Good Things

I might have gone just a little bit mad this December. I no longer have a career. I no longer have a husband. As far as I'm concerned, both are of the past. Everything is changing. Seeing ...
