Great boast, small roast!

In a dire attempt to chill out while talking about the next spicy story, V3 were on the lookout for a good coffee shop. “Great, let’s head off to the hotel nearest to the WTC and enjoy the views of Galle Face,” piped Shaz, who was now desperate to relax her tired legs after pacing about with the gang.

Scrambling for a Scrabulous success!

Plop!

V3 and Mr G were on their way to WTC when a soft sound and a howl of displeasure from Shaz drew their attention. Screwing her face with distaste, Shaz displayed a brownish blob that had landed on her arm while strolling under a shady tree.
