School bed.
Night's gone.
Oh, Rory, are we recording premium episodes today?
Yeah, it's a bit of a chore, isn't it?
Is it a chore?

Shall we talk about housework?
Absolutely.
Let's talk about housework.
Do you think your home is clean and tidy?
Well, I'm not particularly house proud, but I certainly do my best to keep everything in order.
However, there are times when I just can't be bothered, although it's not usually when I'm expecting company.
So nobody but me knows that.
Nobody but me on the entire Internet.
Now, what kind of chores or housework.
Do you usually do, aside from general tidying up?
