It’s been real, 2023.
As is my tradition at the end of the year, I’m writing this post to wrap up and update you all on my progress against the goals I set at the start of the year, you can read about them in my Welcome to 2023 post. Here’s the list of goals: This year has had…

Another year over…
Each year I do a little wrap up post about the last twelve months and how they’ve gone for me. 2020 was, as I’m sure it was for many of you, a shit show. 2021 started out hopeful, I went back to working in the office sometimes, I saw a couple of Melbourne Comedy Festival…
