Chasing a Noodle features whimsical nonsense from my irrelevant little world. Consider it marginally more fun than being trapped in a lift with an accordion player.

I’m Alastair, a 40-something-year-old man based in South East England, and this is my newsletter. Amongst other, less glorious things, I’m the inventor of the world's first edible spacesuit (made of sponge fingers).

I’m also lethal with a chip fork (don’t mess with me!).

So, why am I doing this? Well, in my thirties, I took up creative writing following what can only be understated as a ‘difficult time’ in my life. As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, creative writing helps keep me afloat.
