Life feels like a slow trudge through the sludge of a constant Winter at the moment; though I note that, in my northern hemispherical home, it’s getting lighter each time I cycle from work and that does bring me joy; along with the promise of spring only being a month away (ish), life ain’t too bad.

They tried to stop us but we were too strong, too many, too silly. They tried to stop us but we had too little to lose, and we smelled unusually.

Please accept our apologies but we had to broadcast it using an old umbrella, a record player, a circular saw blade, a light bulb, and Gertie's Speak and Spell. Try to enjoy it anyway. Lovely love from us.
