I mean, you have to feed him almost constantly, but other than that he’s virtually housetrained.

There was a minor domestic when I declined to take out the youngling’s wagon for Sunday night, but he got over it. Looks like we crossed paths frequently over the weekend – an honourable mention for the hit-laden […]

Splendid work, Retro. I tuned in via Radio Oxford, which at least meant the trek to the toilet during Sally Barker’s solo number was a lot shorter. Significantly, on the Fairporters’ Facebook page review of the […]
