Rebounding Classes
This is NOT what I look like when doing Rebounding. Pic source here. Having hit 25, it’s becoming increasingly clear to me that my metabolism is not what it once was. Gone are the days where I could sit on…
Music: Amanda Palmer at Koko
Yeah yeah, I know what you’re thinking. Do I ever go and see any other musician EXCEPT Amanda Palmer? The answer is probably, ‘No’. This is the 3rd glitter fuelled, hilariously ridiculous outing to see Ms Palmer and her Grand…
