It is my friend’s grandparents’ funeral today. They passed away within twenty-four hours of each other. Her grandma passed away due to illness and her grandpa passed away because of heartbreak.

What exactly does the Paintbrush of Destiny do? That’s a good question, one which I am still trying to find the answer to myself, actually. In the two weeks since I discovered the magical paintbrush, I haven’t been able to work it out. It’s a shame my grandfather didn’t write some instructions for the thing. …
I’ve just arrived home from the court case that my tenant instigated. My statement and the work of my lawyer went down without a hitch and you guessed it, we won the case. I will be retaining the bond and my ex-tenant now also has to pay additional money for all the damages she caused …
