Site in stasis alien-style as I prepare for my big house move home. Last week ‘mexicana/hasta la vista terrorista’ house cooling party went off with a tequilla and avocado flavoured bang so photos to follow. Just finished watching all 3 series of Entourage in about […]

Silverlink. Giver of travel. Delayer of journeys. Container of chavs. Supplier of stabbings. I salute you.
