I suppose the major news of the last few days needs some form of comment from me, though for the life of me I can’t think of anything to say about it. All been said already, I suppose. The one … Continue reading
A good weekend, then, though a hectic one. And I’m very tired indeed. Most of the time was spent with Gwen, really, and with Ronni and Aine. Gwen’s leaving Southampton for good after 8 years there, a good portion of … Continue reading
