It's Not Right But I've Grown Accustomed To Racism

This is actually a post I was hoping that I'd never have to write, but after being on the receiving end of racial abuse on Friday just gone I had to get my feelings into words.

My posts aren't often ranting ones but I feel that this subject is a special circumstance.  

Birthday OOTD

The day of Arran has been and gone, the weather decided to go against it's usual trend of raining on my birthday which was a nice change and this allowed Alice and I to go out and about Southampton to enjoy have a nice meal to celebrate the Last Birthday.
