Thirty Second Therapy
The gentleness of heaven broods o’er the Sea; Listen! the mighty Being is awake (That’s Wordsworth that is.)
January Book Club
I’m excited about reading this because this gent wrote one of my favourite book of short stories (I blogged about it here). I liked it so much that I sent Mr. Wilson some origami birds folded from old book pages as a way of saying “well done”. This is Kevin Wilson’s debut novel and he [...]
My Tuppence Worth
I was listening to the world news on the ol’ wireless yesterday. I have to concentrate so hard when I listen to the news, I find it really difficult to actually hear it.
