A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I was looking up how to explain a couple of words to a small child and I happened to look up *inheritance*. Wouldn't you know it, the results I got online all to do with Java and whatnot! Says a lot for our times when a hitherto normal word has a completely different connotation and... Continue Reading →
I think it suffices to say that it has been a wonky year. For me I would push it back a bit more to the trip to Spain which had an unfortunate moment (read about it here) followed by other learnings+incidents that have led up to me sitting on the couch before the alarm goes... Continue Reading →
