Nothing to be done

Posted on 20th November 2007 by Reed

I have homework due tomorrow

Posted on 19th November 2007 by Reed

Guilty pleasures

Posted on 18th November 2007 by Reed

Posted on 16th November 2007 by Reed

A reading meme – Libraries!

Posted on 15th November 2007 by Reed

Cheerfully, shamelessly, swiped from Charlotte. 1. Do you remember learning to read? How old were you? Like Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird, I never learnt to read. My mother remembers playing with flash-cards with me when I was two … Continue reading →

The elbows of Morpheus are bony

Posted on 14th November 2007 by Reed

At Night the Rain

Posted on 11th November 2007 by Reed
