When I was a teenager I lived in a galaxy far, far away. And that galaxy was called Port Hedland. I’m not being rude or anything. I loved it there. It’s just that growing up in Tasmania and suddenly…

Hello! How is your day going? Mine is going great (except for that fact that my cardigan mysteriously bore the fragrance of sour milk. Ugh.) It’s a beautiful day in Melbourne and I’m just about to have a rather…
Sorry. I am posting this a little bit late! I have had a lot on and I got a tiny bit behind. Luckily you are not the sort to mind. PHEW. This week, no letter, but a list…
