Vote early, vote often
Thank goodness it’s nearly over: I don’t think I can take much more politicking this year. Regular readers will know that I loathe, detest and despair at the idea of our leaving the EU and I have voted (postally) accordingly. … Continue reading
Lights, camera, action!
After my little rant about podcasts, I can report this week that conversely I am fully in favour of what I still call video clips. In the olden days, when I used videos as part of my AML training, we … Continue reading
