let the sunshine in
Everyone loves sunshine, especially me. To this day I have no idea how I managed to live in Dublin for six years (in six years I think we got like, maybe thirty days of sunshine) without developing a serious vitamin D deficiency and a penchant for Emo-ness. And since sunshine is the cat’s meow, I…
