We are one-step closer to the physical launch of [Foxtrot Mike Lima]. Would've been nicer if the courier hadn't jammed a parcel that really was a bit big, rigid, and hard to grab into the letterbox.

It's a fabulous weekend, bit of a long weekend in actual fact. My best friend arrived on Thursday and we've had a marvellous time. Friday was the official launch of [Whiskey Tango Foxtrot], very much hoping our magnificent library staff got some good photos because I mostly forgot. Completely forgot to get a photo of … Continue reading What a weekend!
