Week in review



Bloggers love kicking off a new series so here I am, kicking off a new series. Each Friday, I will lovingly and painstakingly present to you 10 curated links to various articles, essays, columns, videos, photos, short films and other forms of media from the past week. Some will be quirky, some you may have missed and others will be obvious news items but with a twist.

Happy reading, happy watching and have a fab weekend!

XOXO.
