So my mind’s moving a bit slowly today. A bit slowly and a bit like a Lana Del Ray song, all melodramatically languishing around in the calcified dome it calls home. Part of it’s ‘cause I’ve been a bit “under the weather” and part of it’s because everyone’s under the weather – or at least its tyrannical rule when it’s ice raining like this outside.
