At the start of the year, I started practicing my video production skills again. I made this short proof concept based on an unproduced Alfred Hitchcock film called The Short Night.
I’ve now joined a video production class at Warrington Vale Royal College on Tuesday evenings, so I’m thinking about refilming and refining this video.
I’m off to Venice at the end of this month and I can’t wait. It will be my third solo trip to Italy in less than two years.
This is a trip I’m definitely excited about – I’ve only really got one full day there but I think that’s enough to experience this beautiful city. It’s a bit of a budget holiday for me but I’m hoping I will get to ride on a gondola or at least explore some of Venice by water!
Anyone got some fab travel tips for Venice? Lemme know!
November has really been about putting my mental health and wellbeing first.
I started taking Elvanse 30mg to manage my ADHD and after 6 days noticing the positive effects. I’m more focused and motivated, and I am not impulsive eating like I usually do. I feel like I have more control on my emotions as well, which was something I’ve struggled with for a long time.
I’ve also given up alcohol – maybe for the long term. I’m currently on Day 12 and don’t miss it one bit. I haven’t had one temptation since coming off the booze. And I think that is definitely helping along with my new meds. I also feel more determined to succeed and be successful. I even find myself wanting to join the gym.
Long may these positive feelings continue!
This weekend is going to be spent watching a double-bill of Hitchcock films in Chester!
Storyhouse Live is showing both Notorious (my favourite film ever) and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956) with a special talk from Talking Hitchcock podcaster Rebecca McCallum.
I’m really looking forward to the chance to enjoy Hitchcock on the big screen again. Or, as Doris Day sings in the latter film, que sera, sera!
Today and tonight I’ll be testing my new website. For a long time I’ve wanted to create a website that is just for me – a place where I can share things that interest me. It’s a place where I can share updates about my life, passions and dreams.
Consider this my own social media platform. A place where I give myself a voice. Somewhere I can be candid about the things I experience in life. I don’t want to write too much, so this thing has a word limit set as well!
