The wit to woo

Pinkjellybaby and I have been chatting all afternoon (ooh, the wonders of t’internet). Somewhat predictably (because, you know, it’s me and it’s her), the conversation has focused around men. And how we deserve better. Because men are evil. You get the picture. … Continue reading

The case of the missing crush

The crush and I used to speak every day – either through text, email, phone calls or, the expat’s friend – Skype (username: nuttycow by the way). It was stable, sure and reliable. I knew I’d wake up in the morning … Continue reading
