Old media versus new media I despair of our local newspaper, the Stirling Observer.It is read widely in the area so any coverage, however small, is welcome. Yes the reporter promised the paragraph I sent in on email about the […]
I have a job! A part-time job at a glass blowing business called Okra, http://www.okraglass.com/ who are based in Stourbridge which is about an hours drive from where I live. Its a bit of a tiring journey but its worth […]
Today I did some high level thinking whilst remaining horizonal. At the moment food is a luxury so by staying in bed for as long as possible I’ve only had one meal today and not paid out any money for […]
