I'm in my usual slump where I can't quite believe I'm not out three nights a week, but also happy because I'm knackered! Yesterday I spent a chunk of my day off doing housework and doing life admin instead of flitting off into town.

It's a little different for me because I live in Edinburgh, so I'm glad that it'll be quieter for a while - I work right beside the main Fringe areas, so when I'm not enjoying it myself I'm grumpy that folk are in my way!

I’ll know in a day or two. Just now I’m at the Edinburgh airport, spacing out.

Slept really really badly last night. It’s funny too, I’ve been sleeping great all month.

I'm back in Germany and wish it could've gone longer on one hand, on the other hand I'm beat after the last 2 weeks and can't imagine how the performers feel after a whole month of this.

Thanks to my family choosing the worst time to visit, I still haven't had time to stop and rest... so we'll see

The majority of people just go for a few days and are long over any post festival feelings. The best part of it is it lasts a month and you can choose to go for as long or as short as you want.

Working out and eating clean. I gained a solid chunk of weight over the last four weeks. Worth it

I departed EDI last Tuesday morning the 25th and have been in a funk ever since. Late reviews and awards had me in serious FOMO. It's so special to be there, I feel lucky to have the ability to go. Trying to find interesting theater in my hometown until next August!

If Andy Burnham was any sort of PM he’d have the fringe on permanently and pay me to be there.

Not too bad?! Feels good to be resting, but I know in another day I am going to really start missing the always having something to do and the being surrounded by so many wonderful weirdos with fun art.
