This girl is mine

Thursday, October 4th, 2007
The weather had taken it's first turn for the better today, giving me some confidence to come out from beneath the mantle of my heavy second world war wool coat. I arrived early at the Granville cinema to see Jessica ... [Continue reading this entry]

Mad Detective
