Hello, hello.
It’s been a while, huh? I honestly didn’t even realise it was Friday last time it rolled around.
I’m still in Edinburgh, still working full time (12th day on the trot), and am still exhausted.
No matter, here are a handful of links to tide you over til my work life calms the eff down next week.
Enjoy!
