Ok look. I’ve been on holiday in Canada for the last two weeks, and I’m getting on a plane in a couple of hours, so I have better things to do that pore through everything and put together a week in review post. Next week we will be back to normal.
On the bright side, I’ve been competing in a lot of trivia here, and I’ve won heaps.
Have an interesting week.
