Okay…so it's been a while; dear god I think I've just written my future Tinder bio! At least I wouldn't be one of those irritating Jesus pushers who manage to cram red flag phrases like 'trustworthy' and 'god fearing' into their character limit. Although thanks to an emergency tooth extraction giving the impression I consult... Continue Reading →
So, how've you been? If you're anything like me, you're hanging on by a very fine thread during this relentless pandemic (like those irritating random bits of elastic that start to fray from your knickers after too many washes) to me it’s become the viral version of Bane from Batman “You merely adopted the dark,...
