Pedestrians, politicians and other flotsam ‘n’ jetsam

3/2/2012GeneralElissa

PEDESTRIANS Given I’m still rather car-shy and road-shy, I’ve been spending more time on the footpaths wrangling pedestrians – and politicians it seems. This afternoon I encountered the best pedestrian ever! AnRead More…

Finding a fridge in the shower

23/1/2012GeneralElissa
