1. John’s hungover. We decided fish butties from the fish and chip shop with be the magic remedy and by and large, they are.

2. Kaufman opens his mouth when he purrs which amplifies the rumble.

2b. I delve into the storage footstool, disturbing my furry little man on the cushion above: he has never looked more like his sister than when he stands, legs wide, grumpy expression, to ask what I’m doing.
