Monday posts feel a bit repetitive at the moment. I did think about taking a break from the Secret Island and doing something else, but I think I should try and keep up the momentum and get on with it. … Continue reading

Despite sometimes struggling with the concept of time passing I do know that it is Tuesday, not Monday. I caught another nasty viral thing last week (hence the missing post) and I’m just getting back on track now. I have … Continue reading
