Should we be allowed to just be ourselves
I didn’t post yesterday, but this was only because I was giving my website a bit of a break from me, after those emotional 3 days. It’s Sunday today, almost 1pm (when I was writing the first draft of this post). John visited me but he’s already gone! I did notice that he talks differently…

Other people have the same experience as me? (I like Boris)
I still can’t wrap my head around what happened yesterday. There is a very strong Polish community in Swindon and I used to be in touch with them for a bit, I even was a teacher in Polish Saturday School for a year. I’m not doing anything with them now but I have them on…
