How can you not be inspired by a Solar Eclipse?
Bykaterattray April 2, 2015

There is a reality TV programme about random families or couples watching the TV, and we watch their reactions and comments on the programmes they are watching. I quite like the concept of watching people watching, it’s a sort of voyeuristic voyeurism. I suppose if you were studying psychology or sociology, you might find it…
