A balloon race long since run

Found object: the online path to enlightenment
March 29th, 2008 · Comments Off · Serendipitous
Having a bit of a clear-out today, trying to regain control over the loft. Control was lost while moving: “Oh, just bung that upstairs.” As a result the loft is completely full, everything in it is inaccessible and possibly there are mice living in there, nesting in my shredded comics collection. Clearly urgent action is needed.
