What are you doing?
I was visiting family the last weekend I had to laugh when my auntie called by and while catching up she asked what I was doing in the all the pictures my wife invariably takes of me when we are out and about. I am sure my wife is a robot, she never seems to get…

4th June 2017 – Writers Group
