The Twelfth
Whilst the 12th of July might be that precise sort of opportunity to relive glories and reopen wounds that the sort of person with just not enough going on their lives revel in, it's been an important date for me for a number of years for very different reasons.
It was the date in 1996 that I graduated. Graduation was an anticlimax for me. I went to ( Read more... ) -
A word on Who (spoiler free)

En plein pluie
