A Cacophony of Coughing

Last house on the Left
Last weekend Claire and I decided to drive by the rental house we were living in before we went away on holidays. The landlords didn’t renew our lease on the basis that they were moving into the house themselves; but we had a sneaking suspicion that they just didn’t like toddlers, and Amelia is [...]
