I’ve been blogging for a while. Over eleven years on this blog for starters, although I did notionally exist before I started writing here, and…

The reproachful look on the face of the Tesco delivery driver made me die a little inside. There he was, punctual, friendly and efficiently providing…

Mini Proclaims’ singing might be better described as ‘enthusiastic’ rather than tuneful, but one can surely not fault her effort. Indeed, so compelling is her…
