Baseline Busy
I remember a time when I had one of those 'What did you get up to at the weekend?' conversation. I reeled of a few things but overall I felt like I hadn't gotten up to much. However, to my surprise the person I was in conversation with thought that my weekend was actually a busy … Continue reading Baseline Busy
