Copy by Melanie Bateson I think it’s fair to say that the school year that was 2020 was not what anybody had planned. Or expected.

Round, oblong, whatever. Don't get it. The money spent on shows dedicated to sport… Continue reading Footy – A Grudging Love Letter

That said, I have no idea what this is going to be,… Continue reading Welcome to the World
