If I had been honest with myself from the off, I never would have allowed for such a rigid time frame for such an endeavour. Rushing is not my forte and how I am partaking of this pleasure is not benefited by such a crunch.

First Person View – For Country
It's been a while since I sat down to get opinionated about something, apologies for that, but midseason torpor set in, and I did not rage against it as much as I should have. There have been plenty of causes and ideas, which will be coming forth in due time.

First Person View - Book of the Month – Introduction and Foreward - Cantona: The Rebel Who Would Be King by Philippe Auclair
February’s Book of the Month has been selected and commenced; I can already tell it’s going to be a great read.
