I think it’s finally dawned on me that I’m going home. And I must say I am beginning to get all excited. Which is pretty cool. It just takes a little to stop focussing on who you aren’t going to see, to realize […]

Except it’s not classy.
I might as well get all these out of the way, because I’m the kind of person you’d refer to as “quite shameless”. So, roughly in order of […]

There aren’t too many reasons I fail to update this thing. Either there’s “too much going on which I’d rather not talk about”, or there’s “nothing going on and I’d rather not further bore anyone”, and then there’s the “I’m getting my daily […]
