Can't sing, can't dance, can handle a sword a little.
An interesting read.
Almost everything I buy that doesn’t come from Tesco comes from the internet. I don’t really know what use I have for the High Street.

Bought a pair of trashed Vivobarefoot Ra shoes off eBay for £20, spent a half hour bringing them back to life and am very pleased with the result.
