The Tourist
A colleague of mine recently returned from a holiday in New York. His first time there. He showed me the photos he'd taken.

And to me, in my life,… Continue reading Serendipity

Stuck on a treadmill?
I don't run with scissors. Actually, let's be honest, I don't run (unless it's an emergency - then you'd better run too!). But if I were to take up running (for any other reason than being late), I'd want to run in a park, on a track, down the street even and not on a treadmill! To me that just means… Continue reading Stuck on a treadmill?
