How unsettling, an innocent
Posted on Fri, 08 Mar 2024

Posted on Wed, 06 Mar 2024
York is ghost heavy isn't it, you can almost feel them brush against you as you walk around the city. The cryptic message, can it really be from the blonde shopaholic wife? I think I've said this before but your writing has a real unmistakable...

I hope something can be done
Posted on Fri, 23 Feb 2024
I hope something can be done to minimise this lady's suffering. You're correct about dogs; when my dog reached the end I was very careful to detach myself emotionally so that his suffering was minimal. I'm with you on TKMaxx, I'm not near one...
