Posted on May 20, 2019 by Dreamaticus

Posted on May 14, 2018 by Dreamaticus

Toothless tigers roam Glasgow park (Rousse)

Posted on February 1, 2015 by Dreamaticus

JM took my car keys and drove us both over to Glasgow. I asked whether he was insured to do this, but he didn’t care. He just wanted to take me to the park. The park was really beautiful. I … Continue reading →

An under-resourced conference (Rousse)

Posted on October 18, 2014 by Dreamaticus

Back to Online 1997 (Rousse)

Posted on December 13, 2013 by Dreamaticus

Posted on April 3, 2013 by Dreamaticus
