Lots Of Little Delights (And A Few Big Ones)

It’s summer in London, it’s too damn HOT and I’m miserable… but life is still good.
For starters, I’m working on DVD & Blu-ray Review for the next month and their offices are air-conditioned, unlike my sweltering flat. Plus there’s always somebody to go to lunch with; indeed, there seems to be a never-ending stream of [...]

1,001 Delights!

According to WordPress, I now have a grand total of 1,001 comments on this blog!
Thank you to everybody who’s posted since I started blogging – and here’s (hopefully) to many more!
