Awww... and I'm here in the UK :(
ReplyDeleteHey, Claudia! Back with internet and online once again, although the connection isn't anywhere near as good as I had before, but it's a connection at least, which is the main thing.
Hope all is good with you - hope to speak soon :D
Hi there, Mark!
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear you have internet connection again.
I'll be posting again mid-December. Taking a mini hiatus for the holidays ;)
Cheers!
Will you be entering this, Claudia?
ReplyDeleteHi Mike!
ReplyDeleteNope. I won't be participating. I've done it in the past. It's extremely competitive and at this time, I have no time for writing, unfortunately.
I'm travelling for the holidays.
