I managed to drag a few people out ice skating last night. I also went last Friday, with Ange and her friend Ben (plus his son), which was good. I finally started feeling reasonably confident – I’m finding it quite easy now to keep on my feet, even while zigzagging and spinning around and whatnot.… Read more
A guy just knocked on the door a few minutes ago, with a parcel addressed to Aidan.
