Happy New Year!

Lenny December 31, 2022 New Year Leave a Comment 1042 Views

2022 was a better year for me. Still not life as we know it but definitely living. I traveled enough to feel guilty about my part in contributing to climate change and my only mitigation is that I’m pretty...

Lenny May 28, 2020 Leave a Comment 1676 Views

Today I went to… Croydon

Lenny October 27, 2018 Leave a Comment 2239 Views

I had a good reason, I promise. I’ve followed The Guyliner for ages. Since before he even unveiled his identity. Which he did for his debut novel The Last Romeo. Which is why I ended up in Croydon. I...

What’s the hurry?

Lenny February 1, 2018 Books, Movies, Time Leave a Comment 2661 Views

Intentions for 2018

Lenny January 16, 2018 New Year, Resolutions Leave a Comment 1551 Views

(Updated because I forgot one!) I know it’s a little late in the month for declaring New Year’s resolutions but it’s a process I enjoy. To be honest my resolutions are generally along the same lines every year, with...

Lenny December 31, 2017 New Year 1 Comment 2517 Views
