    Blogumentary #2 – Where My Head Is At

    It’s two days until due date. I took a nap on the sofa this afternoon. It turns out going to the loo several times a night and walking to Aldi to get some shopping is enough to make my body stop. I manage to do chores but all I want…

    Nabeel Qureshi’s Death (1983 – 2017): A Difficult Reflection

  • The Selfish Gospel by Freddie Pimm – Book Review
