Another year has slipped by…

…and I have a few more lonely follicles on my cranium and a crease or two on my face that weren’t there a year ago (from ‘smiling a lot’ said a close and amiably untruthful friend) but all in all the year hasn’t been too shabby. The work to surf ratio has been a little [...]

LoTG – when’s our wedding anniversary? DP – we’ve missed it… LoTG – Oh… DP – yeah – it was nearly a year ago. I didn’t surf today.
