Another State Capitol........

Squirrels make everything better
As with most days, this one began at the tender hour of 5.30. I wouldn't call it jetlag, my brain just doesn't seem to understand how long it has slept for (an hour feels like 8!). I decided to have a shower, seems easy enough? Wrong! There is nothing to ...

It's always fun to plan a trip
My friend Natasha and I have been talking about taking a road trip together for ages. 4 years at least, I should think. I'm at that point in my life where I'm sick to death of always saying I'll go and do things or go places or make changes to something, ...

One Week
