Day 63. 27 pages, 8,516 words. Sorry about the clickbait title, but I’m going somewhere with this. Bear with me. Over the past year or two, I’ve had a lot of very stupid and counter-productive arguments about Brexit. And to … Continue reading →

Posted on June 23, 2016 by Hatboy

No time to do anything but phonecap from my Facebook feed today. This is where I’m at. Next step is Finnish citizenship. I may or may not hold onto my Australian one, if only for my kids’ sakes.
