I only just opened the new catalogue today, having received it more than a month ago. And I’m yet again quite disappointed..

More things to do
|
This weather is appalling, isn’t it? It’s bad enough that most of us are bored to death in our offices ( colleagues, clients, subcontractors… everybody on holiday), but not even being able to enjoy a bit of evening or weekend sunshine is just awful.
