Clean

2 October 2006 by kristarella

I lurve having a clean kitchen! :heart: It is so lovely to wander into the kitchen for a cup of tea and not be distressed by the dishes by the sink and the crumbs on the bench top. I lurve when computers work the way you think they’re supposed to. It was mega stressful on […]

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!
