I shaved my head again today. I shave it every couple of months to disguise the fact that I’m going bald.

A gripping end to the first instalment. I feel this is going to be an altogether gripping tale.

I must confess that I've only started reading Willow's Missing Tail quite recently. I'm enjoying the read but a bit lost at times (most times) so I can see that I need to go the very beginning and start from scratch. Don't wait for me though....

Good health and life
Posted on Mon, 03 Mar 2025
Zdraveh ee zhivot (здраве и живот, meaning good health and life) is a phrase that Bulgarians use every day Jenny, in a sort of 'all the best' way. So I can see that you're into their way of thinking.
Priyatelka's back is fine now. I've...

Bob

Hello Jenny.
The Bob Dylan film is excellent but I think it might be best appreciated by people who are already fans. Priyatelkata wasn't as thrilled with it as I was. However, a fan will spot a few inaccuracies (aka artistic licence) but...
