Luckily for me, here in Cyprus, April 1st is a national bank holiday, meaning I don’t have work and I can… [Continue Reading]

That was until I had a breakdown in December of 2023 and decided to start calling… [Continue Reading]

On Having Written Over 2 Million Words

Really, a million of anything is a huge number. One million seconds is equal to about 11 and a half days, a week and a half nearly. And that’s just seconds, a very small unit of measurement. On top of that, the Daily SPUF itself recently passed the 3 million word mark, meaning I’ve written a third of this blog’s content, and that discrepancy is only going to get bigger… [Continue Reading]
