High On Fire (Flowers)
It’s impossible for me to write my blogs regularly these days. I am sure things will change, but you have to bear with my current situation. Too many things to do, and write, especially.

I criss-crossed the place: if I had had an extra week, I would have made it up to Jaffna. It will be for the next time. (more…)
