I have started to prioritise reading again in a bid to actually try and get through the massive amount of books I have. Each year I seem to buy significantly more than I read. I need to do something about that, so I have started reading a lot more. I was trying to finish what…
It’s the 3rd of August and so far I have watched Stargate for two nights and I find I am now watching Beverly Hills Cop! I need someone with a cattle prod standing behind me ready to zap me when I start procrastinating… So much to do and so much procrastination!
