Can you spot the difference?
Here is a photo of me at The Hotel Windsor in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago, reading the paper. That’s a lie, I am not ACTUALLY reading the paper.. and my excuse is pitiful. I do not read the paper firstly because I have never liked the way it makes my hands feel, they … Continue reading
