“Dreamtime” by Thilo Schröter

Two weeks ago a hungry animal chewed through some cables in my car and it’s been at the mechanic since. I was forced to stay longer than planned, and things could have been pretty sad alone without a car, but luckily I could join @melissaleneve for some sessions in Dreamtime, and today on the fourth one it went down! Right after, I got the message that my car will be ready tomorrow, so it’s finally time to close this chapter, and get going on the long drive. Happy to go home but psyched to come back!
