“Believe nothing you hear, and only one half that you see.” ― Edgar Allan Poe This is the first post on my new blog. If you don't know me, I'm Garry, I live in the North-West of England with three dogs, two cats, some marine fish and a long suffering partner, and I write things. …
The Mandalorian- Chapter 1
This is the show you’ve been looking for (assuming you like Star Wars in any shape or form). It’s here and I watched it. Its ace and I loved it. I’m not sure what more you need to know. This is the best pilot of the year. Full stop. And not just because it is …
The Morning Show
Of all the new Apple TV shows that have arrived the one I was looking forward to most was this one. I enjoyed The Newsroom which had far more legs than it’s paltry three seasons were allowed to show, Broadcast News was a decent film, we don’t talk about The Post, though, that was poop. …

It sometimes suffers with its lack of budget, and at times feels perhaps a tad too reverential to its predecessors, but you know what? It’s not too bad at all. Each episode is split into two separate short stories, and it’s a format …
Hard to Walk Away
This is an excerpt from a story I wrote a few years ago as a result of a creative writing exercise. I really liked the main character, the way he spoke and the situation he was in. In 1740 or so, middle America , an unspecified plague has broken out and our character and his …
Silk Reeling With Two Hands
After going back to my Tai Chi class the other week after screwing my back up again, we spent a good part of the session silk reeling. It's one of those things thats easy to do, impossible to master and it's an excercise I find deeply satisfying. Step out, sink.Pick a cloud from the sky.Breathe.Take …
