Sci-fi at the Four Seasons hotel and an abandoned bike (Rousse)

A woolly drink and a woolly case of mistaken identity (Rousse)
I made a ‘lovely’ hot drink for TPR. The ingredients comprised hot water, coffee granules, raw sugar, a twist of mustard embroidery silk, and two balls of rusty brown wool. Later, I thought that I had found the lost green … Continue reading
