We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Owain saying something like: My SWMBO is away for a week as well, but has left 2 small children in the house, which are apparently mine as well. Knock ' em out with gripe water. Not like this http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...e/10264909.stm No, that's best left to qualified people, like doctors in Portugal. |
