On the Edge

A few months back, when describing how I felt at the time, I said it was like being stripped to studs.

Interesting

When I set about creating this blog, the first thing I did was google how to create a blog. (Obvious, right?) One site in particular, in its mission to be thorough, started off by saying that if you’re going to blog, you need to first decide what you’re interested in. Which makes sense: […]
