‘What does your ideal day look like?‘ Firstly, it will not come as a surprise to learn that my ideal day does not involve work! It might involve getting up reasonably early (because I wouldn’t want to waste my day, though a lie-in can also be great), and depending upon whether or not it’s me […]

Bloganuary the 9th – Assumptions

‘What do people incorrectly assume about you?‘ First up, I think people have in the past assumed I don’t know much on certain subjects (like history and religion), and then they’ve wound up looking not-so-clever in the course of discussions and debates.
