Minor Luck 9 Aug 2013 | 05:46 am
I am, I suppose a lucky person. I have reasonable health, I have lovely friends and I live in a place with a wonderful village feel. I know "minorly" isn't a word, but I would consider myself "minorly...
Freedom 27 Jun 2013 | 08:47 pm

YouTube finds: Electric Dreams 13 Dec 2012 | 09:37 am
