First off, against all the odds I survived. I’m here to tell the tale. I’ve been ill though, with festival germs so it’s taken a while for me to get around to this.

I haven’t really been posting much lately. Half because I’m not really doing anything, and half because I haven’t felt like telling people what I’ve been up to.
