Apr. 22nd, 2008 11:39 pmTonight my brother and his wife appeared from Queensland. Lots of computer use was the inevitable result. At one stage my stepfather was talking to *his* brother on the phone and the computer with my brother sitting next to him. Computer troubleshooting and roast chestnuts ensued. In fact, they were the themes of the evening.
Toby, the visiting cat, was distressed that Mum was noting us and not him, so he politely went up to Mum and demanded his moment, then, just as politely, asked to be let out.
What else is happening? Well, Eneit is giving all her top-secret country christening recipes away on my food blog. I'm very grateful to her for this, because work keeps following me and I've been doing my own brand of troubleshooting every evening after the others have gone to bed. I'm certain I would get better faster if only life let me get a holiday with no work for, say, three days, but life doesn't work that way.
Tomorrow I'm going window-shopping and I refuse to say where, so that life doesn't follow me with more work.
PS My early birthday dinner tomorrow is limited to immediate family because - even though one sister and her children can't be there for the meal itself - there are ten of us without getting beyond the next-of-kin level. Four siblings, two offspring, two parents and two spouses. We very seldom get together in larger numbers these days - I'm excited.
