Leaving this bin fire - follow me on Bluesky (@xtofallabout.bsky.social) and Insta/Threads.
This account (and the @GigStoriesPod one) will be up while I archive/move important images/vids etc but I’ll not really be checking any more.
Will delete eventually…

Drove from Mcr to @tbtlake today for a theatre production shoot. Popped the audiobook of @RichardEGrant’s “With Nails” on and was driving past Penrith at the exact point he was describing filming there.
WHAT a book. His writing is touching, heartbreaking, insightful, hilarious.
Have a listen to this badboy - it’s a cracker…
