Guilty/Not Guilty

[LolaSkatesInJapan]

No. I used to live in an area where everything needed ;except the ice rink) was 5 minutes walk or less. Now I live 7 minutes walk from the ice rink and the gym but drive to the supermarket and everywhere else. Good that as any urban environment here, the convenience store is also very close (can buy cigarettes, pay bills and buy any other emergency item)

Do you keep a diary?
