Since I haven't posted anything for some time now? Not written anything new for even longer? Well, I haven't promised anyone anything in that way.

I've also continued … Continue reading Worst blogger ever?

Chistmas Ending

I did have help from the weather to do that. It was awful. The rain was pouring down bucket-wise, and it was … Continue reading Sofa weekend

For the time being, I prefer to listen - you can be almost anywhere or do almost anything while listening - but you can't get them all … Continue reading A handful of books…
