Today’s a landmark on the road to something very exciting that’s going to happen later in the year – this morning Leftwing Idiot and I registered a show for the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It’s not just any old show, it’s a Touretteshero show and it’ll be called Backstage in Biscuit Land.…

This is going to be a super short post, partly because I’m incredibly busy at the moment and party because, much to my annoyance, I’ve got a bit of a cold.

The main reason why I’m so busy is that I’m spending lots of time organising We Forgot The Lot!…

At the end of last month I shared the final installment of my World of the Zodiac tic-inspired prediction videos on YouTube, and in case you somehow missed them, you can watch all 12 here.

I thought that was going to be the end of it, until yesterday afternoon.…

It’s the real Shrove Tuesday and we’ve been enjoying more delicious pancakery here at the castle. Last week I wrote about our evening making practice pancakes, and my ticced recipe suggestions. This evening my tics took a different approach and came up with a range of alternative celebration days.…

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob Google Translate funktioniert gut. Wenn es das tut sollte sagen: ein großes Willkommen zu meinem deutschen Leser.

I’m trying my hand at German, not because my tics have suddenly jumped language but because my book ‘Welcome to Biscuit Land’ will shortly be available in German.…

Just like a fish, time has darted by, which is why my last World of the Zodiac video is a couple of days late. I can’t believe it’s a year since we first recorded these tic-enriched predictions.

Pisces, you’ve had the longest wait and I’m confident you won’t be disappointed, so without further delay here’s your video:

I hope that was insightful.…

Today’s been a great day. The weather may have been utterly miserable, but I’m in a buoyant mood.

I ran a training session for front-of-house staff at Tate Britain in preparation for an event we’re putting on in collaboration with them.…

The Winter Olympics started today, something that might well have passed me by had my tics not got involved, suggesting a flurry of new events:

“Down Hill Donkey Tobogganing.”
“Limbo Dancing on Ice.”
“Tiddlywinks in the Rain.”
“Duvet Diving.”
“Down Hill Freestyle Conga Slalom.”…

I’d been really looking forward to going to an event this weekend with Keir, but then three things happened that made it a bad idea.

First, Keir injured his back and wasn’t able to come. My friend Jess, who hasn’t supported me before, was up for taking over, so Leftwing Idiot and Will talked her through my support needs and care plan – I’m confident we’d have been fine if everything else had gone OK.…

Let’s not beat about the bush – there’s only one thing right now that can make January bearable and that’s my penultimate tic-enriched, World of the Zodiac horoscope!

Aquarians, you’ve waited patiently and stood by as almost all the other star signs have had their turn – you’ve been adrift for months without proper guidance.…
