Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
Welcome everyone, to the WorldWideWaterCooler. I saw this phrase somewhere before (and if I could remember, I’d credit the source), and it seemed to really fit my style of blogging. I tend to post stuff that I’d talk to colleagues about around the water cooler if I actually liked anyone I work with (kidding colleagues! … Continue reading Welcome!
It’s time, again, to revamp the blog. I’ve never had my “very own” website before (I feel like I’m moving out on my own all over again).
