Bartimaeus Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) now i'm no deer expert, but that really looks like the same guy from last year Edited October 5, 2023 by Bartimaeus 2 Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.

Raithe Posted October 14, 2023 Posted October 14, 2023 Just got back home after a week in New Orleans. Quirky to go to an American city where you can casually walk pretty much everywhere. Had the fun of landing back on Saturday, and then being told that around 150 pieces of baggage had been left at Heathrow. So I had to do the adventure of hit Walmark for basic necessities and some spare clothes while waiting on my particular baggage to catch up to me.
