What a girl wanted, what a dad gave

Being a boss and being a friend

Remembering 23/3/2015

Java, first impressions

Traveling Solo
As a kid I chanced upon (or, depending on perspectives, my mum forced upon me) an interesting book that I deemed too adult to my liking I had and still have a liking of simpler things in live, including comics and children stories. Roald Dahls Going Solo left in impression that...
