Week of 19 December 2022 Figgy pudding and chocolate nuts Okay, even I don’t know what that means! I saw something this week on Twitter from @NicSampson that I haven’t been able to get out of my head. “So your new carol is just eight verses of you demanding...
19 for 2019: week 19 update
Week of 4 May I don’t have a lot to update this week. I went to work, had a training course and went to a wedding (yay!). I had a nice day walking around Launceston on Friday (more than 33,000 steps for the record) before I was struck down...
