Today is the last day of August, which marks the end of summer holidays and the beginning of the pre-Christmas race. In less than four months, our inboxes will be filled with invitations to countless Christmas lunches / dinners / parties… – all super fun, yet, pretty unhealthy time.

I have been invited to attend the annual Comedy for Depression benefit, which takes place later this week and is headlined by one of my favourite comedians, Stewart Lee. The purpose for the night is to raise money and awareness for the charity Depression Alliance. I would like to use this as an opportunity to take a […]
