The only animals I wasn't keen on were the wasps- I had to keep running away ( Read more... )

The song I am listening to explains it all.

My sister's new boyfriend, Sam, came for dinner last night. He seems a really nice guy, intelligent, witty, charming. He's very good looking too- my sister always gets the good ones!
