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...

Good evening friends ! The next book I have started reading is I’m Absolutely Fine! A Manual for Imperfect Women by Annabel Rivkin; Emilie McMeekan. The reviews so far seem to be veering around the 3 out of 5. I won’t let reviews sway me and I’m looking forward to getting started

Okay another post, and it's a book review ! The book I have just finished is called The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind by Jackson Ford. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book.  Honestly this book took me longer to read and therefore review than I was expecting but that wasn't the books fault...more me being busy and forgetful : ) On to the review... Now to start  Jackson Ford is a pseudonym for a critically acclaimed science fiction author. This is intriguing, I like sci fi and I like little literary mysteries so that and the description (and title) really hooked me in. Tegan Frost our protagonist, and one of the two narrative POV's in this novel,  has psychokinetic power.  Her character is well developed and I liked her narrative voice. This book is a fun little read, it's fairly fast-paced and generally felt like  a good escapist summer read, which was exactly what I was seeking. It has elements of a superhero ty...

Hello everyone ! Please forgive the sporadic nature that is my blog, sometimes I'm really inspired to write stuff and sometimes I'm not. So meh ! Anyway, it has been a very busy summer here, and I for one would love a holiday, hopefully I'll be able to disappear for a few days at the end of this month. I've really been thinking about a few different thngs I want or want to experience. Lets call these goals, though that's probably not the term I mean but it's the best my brain can do right now. First, I'd like to get a Nintendo Switch, a friend of mine was talking about it and the more he was describing it to me the more it seemed like something I'd find useful. I like the idea that it is a console and a handheld at the same time. Sounds pretty nifty to me ! Second, I really want to visit Disneyland again, it's been several years since I was last there and I'd love to revisit it. Also, one more thought, since the last blog I had a birthday...

Good evening! Just a quick post tonight to update you on the next book I’m reading. It’s called The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t With Her Mind by Jackson Ford. Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book. The books description states, ‘ FOR TEAGAN FROST, SH*T JUST GOT REAL. Teagan Frost is having a hard time keeping it together. Sure, she's got telekinetic powers - a skill that the government is all too happy to make use of, sending her on secret break-in missions that no ordinary human could carry out. But all she really wants to do is kick back, have a beer, and pretend she's normal for once. But then a body turns up at the site of her last job - murdered in a way that only someone like Teagan could have pulled off. She's got 24 hours to clear her name - and it's not just her life at stake. If she can't unravel the conspiracy in time, her hometown of Los Angeles will be in the crosshairs of an underground battle that's on the bri...
