Rob fell and his glasses gouged a divot in the bridge of his nose. I've glued it back together with the superglue/disinfectant combo and sent him off to take Youngest to a concert in London anyway. Head wounds bleed though. Bleeeeeeeed.

This is why what we have here, is better referred to as "Wealthcare".
