life – Page 14 – of words & books

I've decided that I want to take a mechanics course. Announcing this to the nearest and dearest didn't bring very inspiring results. 'But you can't even check your oil' - one encouraging bystander.

Guess who has returned, life and sanity (possibly) intact? Yep! That would be me. I've learned quite a bit - how to survive beneath a boiling sun (lots of water, suncream and shade hopping), catch a foreign bus and a host of other Very Important Things. Oh, do you want to know how to catch… Continue reading I’ve Returned. (Oh, And This Is How You Don’t Catch a Bus.)
