Of Course, I think It Is A Load Of Old Bull.
I am not a natural cynic. I was one of those kids that believed in Santa for longer than they should of; I can get lost for hours on Youtube looking into niche conspiracy theories and I would always describe myself as spiritual – although not necessarily religious. But horoscopes have never been my thing.

If You Need It, Take It
The daily trudge to the train station was made worse by the lashing rain. It made a pinging sound as it bounced off the cars and splashed into puddles. Tiny little sounds that knitted together to make a cacophony. The rest of Michael’s senses were also engulfed by the rain. The cold sting on his cheeks. The scent of damp garments that hung on his clothes, how he wished he brought an umbrella to work.

West Wing. What's Next?
If you are a fan who enjoys following the cut and thrust of politics then you may have turned back to The West Wing in recent years. The aspirational show lasted for seven seasons and is a beautiful counterpoint to the political turmoil of recent years. The show finished in 2006 but has surged in popularity in recent years. The West Wing Weekly podcast guided viewers through each episode and the cast recently reunited for a staged performance of an episode as part of a ‘Get Out The Vote’ fundraiser on HBO, with fans like Michelle Obama and Bill Clinton lending their support to the show.
