The Relief Factor

At last, a few days later than planned, the new laptop is here! It’s got some punch to it, so I can sink my teeth into my writing with more ease. I think I’ve done quite well using the phone, but it’s not comfortable, whereas typing is (at least, it is to me). I can […]

Whereas Casino Royale was quite cerebral, Quantum of Solace was pretty much action all the way through. Like all of Craig’s Bond films, this gave us a gritty, rougher Bond, not always swarve and likeable, but vulnerable, fragile, […]
