Clarification

It’s a Hot Day!

It’s a hot day today… wanted to go shopping but the weather’s making me just too nua.  Went to visit my bunnies… haven’t been spending much time with them since i started work ‘cos there’s always some sort of event/function at least twice a week after work… so i’m usually too tired by the time […]
