First world problems in a Covid world
Today was an opportunity to learn. Learning how to do cardless cash because I forgot my wallet when leaving home to go to the office today. So, it turns out that, spending record amounts of hours alone in a caravan can actually bring on early dementia. On the plus side my favourite coffee shop has…
