In my spare time...

Of course, it's not all about writing! I am a storyteller for a living, meaning it's really important for me to live, ie. actually have a life. 

So here are a few of my favourite things:

1) Going for walks with my daughter and my partner (who is, incidentally, a superb ceramicist).

2) Watching her try to feed herself and get porridge all over her face (my daughter, that is, not my partner). 

3) I once made a short-film on no budget at all:

4) Going to the Eye Cinema for parent-baby screenings  (isn't that a genius idea?)

5) Playing Airsoft. That's when grown men and women take toy guns and go pew pew at each other. Sound ridiculous? It is - and so much fun. Check it out. 

6) Playing board games - because that's what everyone has done since the start of the pandemic.

7) Promising to lose weight and keep fit, only to binge eat when darkness falls. Like some nocturnal, slightly balding animal on the hunt. 

8) I've dabbled in activism, being especially moved by the Daphne Caruana Galizia assassination in Malta. Here is a music video I produced, directed and funded:
