  • The Mask.

    If I could meet a hysterical figure, it would probably be Oliver Hardy. I would like to know why he was so cruel to little Stan.

So no I don’t want to go to the moon, I like seeing Read more

  • Lazy Days and Bun Days.

    Do I feel unproductive on lazy days ? Yes. ! That’s an honest answer, but I have been taught, doing nothing/resting, is actually doing something, it’s resting ! That lesson was not well learnt though. We all need rest and recuperation, but this modern life makes us feel guilty if we are lax. Lazy Days. Read more
