Occasional musings from a Left-coast Canadian ExPat in Oxford.
So we have all agreed. Blogger + Significant Other = Dearth of Content. Oops. I’ll try to break through the status quo on that one. Gill and Nelson were sappy enough to post lists of traits and characteristics about their lov-ahs that made them want to stick around.
