Funny you should mention that, I've had a few blog posts in mind but not had a chance to lay it all down. I hate typing more than a few lines on my phone and been too busy to crack out the laptop. Also partly I just figured, yknow, who'd give a fuck? Just for you, though, watch this space.

Ok I shall wait.  FYI did you know that one of my favorite authors is Welsh?  It's true.  Imagine that.

Dylan Thomas or Roald Dahl?

Jo Walton

Interestingly, Walton is from a small ex mining town called Aberdare where my mother and pretty much her entire side of the family was born and still live. It's a bit of a dive now since the pits all closed and the local economy never really recovered. Picture a small mining community in, like, WV with more stone terrace houses and you're probably about there.
