Ashamed?

15 December 2006 by kristarella

No smacks

A good watch

12 December 2006 by kristarella

There’s something to be said about a good watch. I don’t know if I’ll say it now but I’ll write a bit anyway. I think it was about year 9 (6-7 years ago) that I got my first good adult watch. I guess my first “good” watch would have been my Flick Flack one. It […]

Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Title Had a great Saturday at the GKR Karate State Titles! I was a sub for @jamesxuereb.me in the Blue Flame Dragons thanks to his sprained ankle; we won first round and came fourth overall!
I did a bunch of judging and officiating, which was really good.
