No Sports Day
This week from https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2023/08/21/share-your-world-21st-august/ 1. Have you ever been fishing? (not just for the guys as I have!) I went fishing once, when some students in my primary school went for the day. Will I do it again? No. It isn’t my idea of fun, sitting in the rain, just waiting for a fish. 2.
