I am (£5000 of) Titanium
Happy Summer from The Riley's!

Setting the date.
Happy Saturday one and all! Isn't it nice to see the sun shining again? It certainly makes everything seem a bit brighter.

60 degrees too far.
Hello, and 'Happy New Year'! (I'm aware that I'm about 37 days late with that one, but the sentiment is there) Since our last update, a fair bit has happened.
