You know how it is…
…when you are flitting around the internet in between glasses of wine. A friend of mine who manages the dual constraints of being talented and gorgeous has an equally talented and gorgeous sister, a journalist who the last I heard was the feature’s editor for Scotland on Sunday.

I need to make more time to do a lot more background reading. I have also been a little taken aback by my utter lack of knowledge in this area. It’s not that I don’t understand it or don’t agree with it, it just hasn’t reached my … Continue reading Theory and Innovation
