Posted on August 13, 2014 by Dreamaticus

Posted on October 13, 2013 by Dreamaticus

Posted on February 19, 2013 by Dreamaticus

Flat conversion plans (Rousse)

Posted on January 31, 2013 by Dreamaticus

We inspected the damage the morning after the night before. I thought we’d picked out all the sleeping bodies amongst the debris of my parents’ post-party house, but my mother said that we should also check “the flat”. Until this … Continue reading →

Boy racing and GCSE results (Rousse)

Posted on August 3, 2011 by Dreamaticus
