I promised a post today, and by gum, I shall deliver a post. By gum. Really? Meh, why not. So, yesterday afternoon I tuned into Mr Jupitus in the Age of Steampunkon Radio 4. I did this not only out…
So, I’ve not been hitting my targets of late. It’s tempting to blame this on circumstances (so I shall, to an extent). We have had friends staying on sofas and in spare rooms this past week and a half, making…
