Module four was a nightmare from start to finish, pushing me to the limits but hopefully being overcome. As the FPL Nightmare series concludes, the new phase of my writing career begins, and the resolve to succeed on my own terms deepens.
I'm pleased to say I'm through the worst of the bout of depression I've recently experienced. Unfortunately, it came too late to prevent my worst assignment score ever, which leaves me with a real challenge on my hands.
I spent two years scared of Covid, and what the virus would do to me when it was my turn to have it. In all that time, I never thought it would be my mental health that would suffer the most. I'm finding it really tough.
Monday, March 21st was a special day for us. It was the day a big tuxedo cat left Eden Animal Rescue and moved into our home. He’s called Denzel, and he’s a very precious boy. This is the story of how he joined our family.
Eddie Howe has made his first mark on the Newcastle squad by bringing in Kieran Trippier. It’s a real statement signing, and it’s exciting to think who may follow him through the door.
After nearly two years of feeling unimportant, the World Championships have reminded me why darts is the greatest sport in the world. Also, some updates on my writing plans and my degree progress.
After originally thinking we’d have to wait until next year, then a protracted saga that was far more stressful than it needed to be, my partner and I now own our first home. It’s a special feeling, one I thought I’d never experience.
Having completed a long-term project that has consumed my thinking for years, I expected to feel elated. Instead, I am filled with melancholy, and a sense of having no direction. It's a strange development, which I really should have predicted.

In my first journal entry for two weeks, I discuss why the time was right to take a short break from writing - because I've published my second book, while also reaching a key stage in my mental health novel. I have also received the score for my third module - the first that counts towards my final degree.
On Sunday, England face Italy in the Euro 2020 final, an event which promises to be the defining sporting occasion of our generation. I'll be watching it on the television with my parents, but I have been lucky enough to witness some moments of sporting greatness in person throughout my life. Here are six of the best.
This latest update covers the fall-out from the review of my abysmal meal the other night and my irritation at the twining about England’s football team. I’ve also completed my second book, whilst my friend’s new band have some music out soon.
One of the nicest experiences in life is going out for a nice meal with the person you love. It’s so upsetting when the restaurant ruins it for you – especially after waiting so long to be able to dine out.
Criticism of Gareth Southgate intensified after he named four right-backs in his squad. This negativity is misplaced. Southgate’s England squad are primed for glory.
