Thought Corridor

 Hello you, I adore the theatre. Love going to see plays, musicals, comedy shows, absolutely anything. There is nothing quite like it. When I was growing up my parents used to take me to the theatre in Swansea and then sometimes we'd travel up to London and see shows there too. This continued when I went to university, if there was something showing that I liked the sound of, and I could get tickets, then I'd be there. I think what I like best about the theatre (excluding the show you're actually going to see of course) is that moment in the start. Before the show begins, the orchestra starts and the lights dim. That gives me such a rush of endorphins ! It's wonderful. It's also something I really miss. Since moving to France I think the last thing I saw in the theatre was probably back in 2015. I went to see The Signalman and The Waiting Room.  These were two short plays but they were very atmospheric and I really enjoyed them. I'd love to remember all the date...

 Hello you, I had high ambitions with this little blog of mine, nothing serious of course, just somewhere I could come and write. Lay out feelings, ideas, anything really that crossed my mind, but as you know I am naturally forgetful by nature and I forget about the blog then remember it again and thus begins a stream of activity before the blog is once again forgotten about. And the cycle continues... Before I make another blog post with an actual topic instead of this rambling nonsense I think I'll note down some ideas that will feature in upcoming blog posts (unless I forget about the blog again). I know no one will ever read this blog, except me, but I like to imagine that somewhere out there, there is you, my dear reader, who ever you may be.  Potential topics Things I like (SH, FAH, Films, TV, Books) Places I'd like to visit Places I have visited Upcoming plans Ambitions/Things I want to do. This is no where near an extensive list, as I have said my brain does not functi...

 Something that just occurred to me (along with the fact that I haven’t posted anything on this blog of mine for quite some time, if you’ve seen other posts of mine you’ll know I’m scatterbrained) is that I have no explanation written as to why my blog is called Thought Corridor. Now, people who know me will know that I am a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. Holmes (I am going to do a blog about my long running love for this character on another day) has a memory technique that he uses, it is not unique to him of course, called a mind palace. The general idea with a mind palace is that a person is able to remember a long string of information by plotting it around a real or fictional place. That all sounds a little convoluted but in simple terms it means that if I had a random list of objects that I wanted to remember, then I would remember them by placing the objects in a room/rooms of my house. It doesn’t have to be a house it could be a street, shop or a theatre etc, as long as it’s a p...
