The Dream House
A crowded train, a territorial armrest and a situation so devastating it leaves me sobbing.

Brighton 3-0 Arsenal: Something about pecking and seagulls
Well. This is a test of my commitment to the blog.
Mundane Monday
A sore neck, a sleepless night, a poorly OddSon and a Monday morning dash through the park in my pyjamas. Just another perfectly ordinary day in the OddFather household.
