Little does he know that I am not afraid to use the silly photos as leverage whenever I need to..* insert evil laugh.. muuawaaahahhaaaWe have had some much needed rain. Not a lot of rain but enough rain so that I don't have to buy a load of water just yet..*phew...David stayed at Veronica's last night and is staying there tonight as well..
