July 4, 2011

January 11, 2011 Dear Grace, I know, this mail is loooooong overdue, I’m so sorry! Of course I remember you (even your tag I’ve never forgotten, believe it or not!! But I’m losing hope that I’ll ever manage to take it up…) You might know that a few weeks after your comment I was diagnosed [...]

Bloggy meetups make me nervous, and late

July 8, 2009
