The saga of Nicktor’s bed

Posted on March 23, 2010 by Gary

Mirinda was a bit concerned about Nicktor sleeping on our lounge. I should stress she was more concerned with Nicktor than the lounge. And rightly so. I have slept on the lounge (during bouts of illness in the house) and, … Continue reading →
