Posted on May 22, 2018 by Dreamaticus

I stabled the grey mare in my new hall of residence bedroom with a degree of reluctance. First I was dubious as to the ‘legality’ of keeping a horse on campus. I also harboured concerns over my skills as a … Continue reading →

A Star Trek screening and a sick bed sanctuary (Rousse)

Posted on March 14, 2018 by Dreamaticus

I was in no fit state to trek across the mountains after my operation, but TPR made me do this so that he could watch Star Trek films at the university cinema, snuggled up to a couple of women, who … Continue reading →

Fried eggs and a friendship fractured (Rousse)

Posted on March 8, 2018 by Dreamaticus

A rescue from classroom chaos (Rousse)

Posted on August 24, 2017 by Dreamaticus
