A while ago I had a cry because when things go wrong (at home) I’m made to feel like it’s my fault. Okay, so many things are my fault. Like when I’d made a great dinner and done all the dishes and everything was great, then the next morning I made us miss our train […]

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!
