Saturday evening

26 January, 201927 January, 2019 James ForemanNothing Much In Particular

After yesterday’s forgettable art experience, I spent most of today trying to achieve things: the girls both played a game of Blood Bowl I took the girls to their swimming lessons I took the girls[…]

Art After Dark

25 January, 201927 January, 2019 James ForemanSingapore
