Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

                                                     Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde                  Lazy afternoon, but had to work – to get that job done. Wanted to clean the attic as it was in a bad shape for quite some time. I sat down to clean and dust my books, which had accumulated on the cover and the room had caught a little mold, which gave a little stink probably because of the fungus that had grown all around it.
