Issue 35; Editorial 21st August 2020


What a weird few months it has been for us all, so much so I had no idea what to write about. I couldn't find anyone else with a subject to write about either.  With all this time at home I am still vastly behind on the watch list of Netflix and Prime, so less writing and more watching has happened.  

As the bars have re-opened I am still limiting where I go and what I do and I have no holiday destination.  So what do we do?  We hold our tongues and await for a subject to pop up, for some slither of thought that we can jump on and then write words too, you also go bi-monthly, so every two months a new release will come, so without a fail here is this issue.  

I finish the cocktail series with a favourite of mine, I carry on with Bond, I chat about my love of Denim and I think of moving my feet.
