The ramblings of a discombobulated mind
I was speaking to CW’s Dad the other day..and he told me the story of a guy wandering into their shop, looking around for a little while and eventually pulling out a prescription for orthopaedic shoes. SW explained to the gentleman that they were not an orthopaedic shoe distributor and were in fact a specialist brush [...]

Photo by caruba…or 3, depending on when you are celebrating Christmas in your country/region. Days that is, and frankly it is all speeding up here in Frankfurt.

So..it is just past lunch on my first day at work in the new year, and I am already glad that I don’t have much hair. It would most definitely be torn out already. Seriously, how hard is it to remember a single frickin’ password for just over a week? Also, if you do forget [...]
