Which is definitely not in the same category as a new job, but it&#8217;s something that is a part of my life now that I used to think I&#8217;d never do. But Adrian and Ingrid started, I sort of joined half-heartedly and passively, then Eric wanted to see it was all about, which made me start playing &#8220;for real&#8221; &#8211; and here we all are.
