It was a morning like any other. I woke up at 7.30, had my breakfast and got ready to cycle to University. It was an important day at Uni, it was the final date to submit all of my assignments and work – so it was important that i was not late. I looked out the window […]

This made the cycle […]

A Relaxing Day In Las Vegas
Today was not a good day; I woke with the worst hangover of all time. All day my mouth felt as dry as Gandhi’s flip-flop, my stomach felt like it had been tied in a knot and my head felt like there was someone in there shaking my brain continuously. I felt very rough. Dan […]
