My Dreams are Crushed Like Rose Petals in an Alligators Mouth - An Old Chinese Saying (balls)

Fluffy Links – Monday March 15th 2010

I’ve been watching and dipping into Kilcullen Diary for years at this stage and it was great the other day to finally meet Brian who looks after it. To me it’s a pretty perfect example of what a local blog can do for a community. I like this...

Spring is Here, Winter can Party Down and Go *** Itself (see what I did there?)
