Things have been so heartbreaking recently. Not just recently, of course, but they seem so much WORSE right now. I have a small platform which, to me, means I have to use it for good.

I missed Saturday altogether, although time seems almost like an optional construct at the moment, doesn’t it? I got stuck in to a work project and by the time I was finished, I was fit for nothing but slumping on the sofa with a burrito and a glass of red wine. I also did my… Read More
