'What are you doing for new year's eve?'

Perth V10: Another summer
It was hot yesterday - about 34 degrees. No one really went to the beach though, since there was another shark attack in Cottesloe beach - one of the most popular and gorgeous beaches in Perth. It didn't matter to me, I was doing DIY ( Read more... ) -
