I think I should begin with a little about myself as it’s been so long since my last post. I call this blog procrastinations of a working man because there are often bouts of inactivity triggered by day to day […]
It has been six months since my last post, I actually thought it had been longer so that is a good thing. I have been extremely busy making a lot of new work – some of which I will share […]
