Sunday morning, we woke up to this view: The temperature was predicted to be 29 degrees celcius that day, how badly do you [...]

What a day…

It was rainy and blah when I woke up, and that’s how I felt all day, rainy and blah. It seems to be just at that exact point in the year where it is basically spring, you can smell it on the air, the sun shines most days, and it’s not dark by the time [...]
