Showtime!

May 24, 2013

It’s a public holiday here in my new hometown. The Show (fair) is in town and we locals get a day off to enjoy the fun and frivolity. Of course the fact I’m not working means I don’t officially get a paid to stay at home and not-work, but still… it’s nice seeing everyone else [...]
