Can I get in on the #followbackfriday ? I’m Pauly. I’m into this people, dogs, tech, and food. Nukhas (Nuky/Nux) is my trusty shadow #cavachon. I have a few health issues that I am prescribed #cannabis for and am passionate about complete #drugreform. I’m a #Wordpress based fullstack developer, but can geek out on most tech. I’m kind of unashamedly awquard in everything I do, but I hear it’s charmingly frustrating. Normally I’m in #northlondon. #dylsexia is a super power - f*ck #Handcock.
