Monday Moments: Resilience

Introduced by Holly King Are you a resilient person? Would that be a word you, your friends, family or colleagues use to describe you? It’s quite a compliment, to be called resilient, but what are the words that go along with that? 'Bouncing back', 'Getting knocked down but getting back up ...

Monday Moments: Finding Your Balance

Introduced by Holly King The theme of balance (and colour) makes me think of a tightrope walker, trying to get across the rope without falling. They’re in some lovely green and blue acrobatic costume that’s been highly patterned to make them look exciting for the viewers, and the ceiling of the ...

Monday Memoirs: What Now?

Introduced by Holly King What Now reminds me of an exercise my GCSE Drama teacher gave us: find all the ways to express ‘come in’. We went through the obvious ones: cheerful, inquisitive, excited, angry, sad, seductive (well, we were 15); then moved onto a broader range: apprehensive, exhausted, reproachful, worried, apathetic, ...
