Musings of The Goggin: October 2013
http://thegoggin.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Musings of The Goggin. Tuesday, 15 October 2013. It’s a funny old world. You spend your heady 20’s leering from one unsuitable man to the other, with no care for marriage or children, and then you meet the one who lights all your fires, and you gradually become overwhelmed by the desire to become his wife and bear his child. So, why is it that we are so keen to get married, and they are a little sheepish about it all? Is it the thought of only having sex with one person? The weight of responsibility?

Musings of The Goggin: December 2013
http://thegoggin.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Musings of The Goggin. Tuesday, 17 December 2013. The Family Christmas Party. There was a moment on Sunday, at the Family Christmas Party, when my brother turned to my fiancé. And said “It’s not too late”. It was all manageable until last year, when they decided. There would be an additional “Britain’s Got Talent” element to the Party. How bad can it have been, you wonder? I sound horrible don’t I. We had to leave to get our train, so we didn’t get to see all the acts. My Aunt and Uncle has tol...I’...

Musings of The Goggin: January 2014
http://thegoggin.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Musings of The Goggin. Tuesday, 14 January 2014. How's January workin' out for ya? Well, let’s be fair, it’s probably not really our decision. Given that the entire of the media is saturated with diets, and exercise regimes and juice cleanses, and C list celebrities who’ve let themselves go, heading to the park in a crop top and a pair of pants, in the hope of that not so elusive exercise DVD deal. Despite all the above, I have embarked upon a healthy January. Well, 6. Jan – 6. It’s become a runnin...

Musings of The Goggin: February 2014
http://thegoggin.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Musings of The Goggin. Tuesday, 11 February 2014. February - A Sexual New Page. January is over. You can officially abandon the failed resolutions. Or can you? Forget the diets (well, I say that, but I am attempting no booze/processed foods for the next 2 weeks. I know. Total yawn), forget the overpriced January gym memberships, and try to ignore the frankly appalling weather. You’ve probably given up on the first two already. You remember that back to school feeling – a new pencil case (just me? Or you ...

Musings of The Goggin: A working mum
http://thegoggin.blogspot.com/2015/11/a-working-mum.html
Musings of The Goggin. Sunday, 22 November 2015. My Mother can often be heard telling people how I began my career at the RSC aged 8, as a munchkin. Which is about as relevant as when she tells them I have my gold medal in acting from LAMDA, still unaware that that is somewhat less impressive than actually having been to LAMDA. Tomorrow that changes. Tomorrow I start rehearsals for the RSC for two shows for their Summer Season at The Swan. We've spent the weekend talking and thinking logistics. Our f...

Musings of The Goggin: October 2012
http://thegoggin.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Musings of The Goggin. Tuesday, 30 October 2012. Onesies and Daytime Clubbing. It would be at nightime. After dark. There were probably a couple of occasions when it was light as I headed home, and boy did I think I was a crazy kid. Not. I've never quite got the fancy dress thing. I think because I was always acting, I got to dress up and play different people all the time, so why would I want to do that in my own social time? Now, obviously the clubbing isn't all about pulling. Some folks might be j...

Musings of The Goggin: Who am I, now I'm a Mother?
http://thegoggin.blogspot.com/2016/10/who-am-i-now-im-mother.html
Musings of The Goggin. Friday, 14 October 2016. Who am I, now I'm a Mother? I'm 36 years old and I'm having an existential crisis. I doubt I'm alone. I fear this happens to everyone at some point, but most definitely to Mothers. And Actors. Now So that's half of it. The other is being a Mum. Well, a parent, but I'm gonna go with Mum for now. Whilst also enquiring how long we can survive without me working, a zombie rabbit with high blood pressure. If that's not an oxymoron. So do I want to be the old me?
