Ramble On

For this milestone episode we're live streaming a game of 20 questions using (what should be) some fascinating, introspective Q's from Kalina Silverman's social experiment turned card game #BigTalk

Amidst a recent heatwave, Birdy came to visit and the following is a seasonal sit down we had, in which we talk about everything from animated Penguins to Ancestry.

In our second trip to Huddersfield, I return to the town for the first time in almost ten years. Surprise finds, familiar sights and a whole lotta reminiscing awaits.

A retrospective look at a formative time in my life. First love, real friendships, self-imposed destruction, failed education and cringe-worthy displays of emotion. Four years of significance are compacted into this, the first of two trips to Huddersfield.

Imagine a world in which distance running, space cats, petty vengeance and moments of honest reflection combine in a somewhat scattered fashion.

From agitation to understanding, the mental spectrum is quite broad on this particular episode. Dealing with setbacks, impatience and aggravation I head to a Buddhist centre to attend a seminar on meditation and finding inner self-confidence.

In preparation for the big move, I find myself cleaning out the attic and discovering a whole bunch of stuff I'd either completely forgotten about or never encountered before. Here lies a litany of objects from musical instruments to anecdote-filled photo boards.

The numbers dont lie. A significant coincidence deserves a significant episode. So in true random fashion we're blending a strange brew that merges man grappling, misadventure and magnificent beasts.

Left alone to my own devices I use the second week of my time away to master the washing machine, lounge with the cat, try out new facial scrubs and get myself sunburnt.

Despite an onslaught of bad weather in Britain I make it out to Texas for Spring Break with Birdy. Wedding cakes, drive thru convenience and pedicures await me on the other side of the Atlantic.
