My fair greetings to the world! What an absence it has been and I certainly plan to explain all that – but as per the title I stand that it was not my fault. I had a laptop failure a few months ago – I am currently taking this down on The Husband’s, which in … Continue reading Silence – But Not By My Fault
Sorry I've not been around much! I've not got much of an update as the case. Life is life, and mine is hardly interesting. Instead, I'd prefer to introduce you to one of my favourite musicians: Alice's Night Circus.

Wow, where have the days good? In true blink-and-miss-it style the year has passed and we sit at the last week of December already. I know I've been super absent from the blog, and actually without good reason except that working is my focus and I've not had much to offer advice or chat about. … Continue reading Where Has The Year Gone?
