Off on my travels again, this time to Malaysia 🇲🇾

If anyone has reccs of places to visit, things to eat or friends to meet, particularly in Georgetown/Penang, I'd be v. keen to hear them.

Will be back on my Substack newsletter game also, so do subscribe https://t.co/WPEGv17k5u

My entire timeline is on fire, so this is just a small, hopeful wave to say some lovely things do still exist and one of them is @LowriEvans' #TelenovelaProject, which concludes this weekend. Go and watch the first episode, and I'm sure you'll be hooked. https://t.co/vRDyKYcqVH

@scottygb @Variety I found out by my boyfriend's dad telling us through their Ring doorbell as we were coming back from ASDA. Modern life is weird.

Cheeky mention for ol' HC in this @MetroUK_Life article about why time-tracking is great: https://t.co/cpBFZ5Ffcn

Thanks to @Jem_Collins for the mention, and to @Clockify for the time-tracking.

[Metro Lifestyle @MetroUK_Life]

But you don’t need to gather years of data to feel the difference from time-tracking.

For Winnie Tang, a career pivot coach, time-tracking allowed her to quickly work out her most productive times of day.

For Holly Close, a digital arts producer, it helps stop procrastination.

[Lowri Evans @LowriEvans]

I’m turning my journals into an online art soap opera called Telenovela. It will be released nightly from 10 September (the full moon), commissioned by @home_mcr & @islingtonmill, with funding from @ace_national.

Here’s the poster, designed by @lisamattocks. #TelenovelaProject

Amazing news for Bradford 🎉 Huge congrats to everyone that worked on the bid. Can’t wait to see what the next few years hold.

Would you like a story about a dog who speaks Spanish in your inbox? Or a 30-second video compilation of some jackhammering? Or some TV recommendations?

All of this (and more) in my Substack email going out tomorrow morning: https://t.co/WPEGv16MfW

Maybe *I'm* the new Doctor Who... Facebook Memories says it's 10 years since I handed my final uni essays in, but I think that must be impossible.

(Though that crisp 2012 photo definition and the fact I had to physically print the essays begs to differ.)

[Holly Close @MissHClose]

This is going to be such a joy! Delighted to be working with @SBC_Theatre on Secret Summer.

Some stories about (temporarily) moving to Albania, and an embarrassing incident that ended with me standing in a Greek kebab shop with no shoes on: https://t.co/Zd1QdhincZ

[Holly Close @MissHClose]

In a real 'New (financial) year, new me' move, I am temporarily moving to Albania next week.

I've decided to start a Substack about it. First email coming at you on Friday. Subscribe here: https://t.co/WPEGv16MfW

@thatsnogreg Get well soon Greg! And keep resting! The post-COVID fatigue is also a real bummer.

Was chuffed to bits to be part of this @LVLUP_Arts cohort of brilliant producers from Bradford & Leeds. Talking about shows, systems & Seabrooks was a great way to start the year.

Very grateful to @LEEDS_2023 & @bdproducinghub for the opportunity, and excited for what's next.

[LEEDS 2023 @LEEDS_2023]

We teamed up with @bdproducinghub to offer LVL/Up: INTENSIVE, a @LVLUP_Arts training programme which helped creatives across Leeds and Bradford find their path in becoming a producer!
