I swear. This is the second year in a row I've been at this campsite in Cornwall. They have live bands that play in a barn thing which is great. Local bands. Teenage dirt bag is played by EVERY one. I feel like Cornwall has a second national anthem. Does it have a first?

My 7 year old just offered some career advice to me. She reasoned I should work at McDonald's because last time we were there, there was so many people in there that it must pay well. #joinaunion #7yearoldwisdom

Just arrived in Cornwall and already made a friend

I forgot to give a shoutout to Jamie (@ Moving Forward Sports) for the incredible Curse of Cards t-shirts! Have some poses! You may also spot a wild @benwolland.bsky.social as I grabbed him t’other week, sporting his shirt.

Sadly, the entire audio team at ZA/UM is being made redundant as part of the layoffs. If you're looking (or expect to be looking) for Sound Designers or Tech Sound Designers, please don't hesitate in reaching out to @eliforster.bsky.social, @missgameaudio.bsky.social and @soundbear.bsky.social
