Sigh She jokes that; when things have gone wrong/something’s on fire/the world’s gone mad: ‘the situation is somewhat sub-optimal’. 2021. Definitely a… Read More >

Goals – Can I have a Quick Word?
Goals. I don’t care what anyone says – they’re important. It’s not to say that it’s the end of the World if you don’t achieve them, or you get thrown off course.
