Sometimes I Read Too Much Into Things
This post was removed shortly after its publication after a misunderstanding by the sender of the card lead to anger from their side of the family.

Treehouse Breakfast; Q (Again); Troma Night
Claire, Jimmy, Paul and I just had breakfast at The Treehouse. They were doing an "all you can eat" Fair Tade buffet - basically; heaps of muesli, organic bananas, breads, and other hippy goodies. It was nice to do something different, but I'm not sure it was worth the fiver it cost.
