  • I’m now moved in at the new place ( provisionally The Winchester, but it’s still being workshopped, and the focus groups are still reviewing it ) and moved out of the old one. The cats are going to be very…

  • So far, the best I’ve got is “The Winchester”, for the Shaun Of The Dead reference. Backing up slightly; After almost two years living in a rented room in a place with cats who I’m sure you’re all sick of…
