I am going to have a sister-in-law and I am so excited. I just spent the last few hours with Aly, telling her how she's perfect for Peter. Far better than the other people he's been with. And by far better, I mean like the distance from here to Pluto. Which I maintain is still a planet and always will be, thank you. She makes him so happy and

Haha, I agree with you very much! Aly and Peter seem to be the perfect couple, and from all that I have heard, you are right about her being better for him than his previous women. I am very happy for him indeed, and I am glad that you have such a good friendship with Aly :) Your family just seems to keep getting better all the time!

[elizabeth_long]

It does indeed, Pierre. It's your family too.

Speaking of your family, Peter tells me they'll be coming here soon. Do you know when? I have to find a lovely place for them to stay. I told Peter I didn't trust him to find a hotel because he's used to Abbeys and I don't think they need to stay in Abbeylike conditions, really.

[eligible_boy]

I feel very honoured to be a part of the family, thank you :D

Well, we always did like camping, but that is quite different from an Abbey ;) More open space and less praying!

After what happened with Tasha's parents, they wanted to be there for the memorial. So they will be arriving on the 22nd. I hope that is not too soon to be organising things?

[elizabeth_long]

Of course not! You leave it all up to Liz. We'll spoil them rotten! I'm very much looking forward to meeting them.

I honestly don't understand how Peter handled the Abbey. I visited sometimes and wow. No thanks.

[eligible_boy]

Thank you very much, Liz! I know that my parents could not be in better hands :)

Somehow, I do not think that Abbey life would work for me, either. Too much Latin and not enough guitar playing!

[elizabeth_long]

Peter was a chorusmaster! He was so cute with his little singing monks. But yes, the praying and...other things would get to most people I'm sure.

[father_peter]

Why do you do it to me? Why?!

[elizabeth_long]

Because it's fun!

[father_peter]

For whom!?

[elizabeth_long]

For me, Silly. Pfft.

[father_peter]

Just as I suspected.

All sillyness aside, I'm really glad you love Aly. I love her too! And you made her really happy, Liz. You improved her mood 1000% and she's feeling better than she has been all day. Thank you thank you thank you.

You always did know how to heal the sick!

[elizabeth_long]

I'm very glad to have done that for her!

And somehow I don't think smooshing a banana on toast is going to work in this instance. Nor is giving her litres of cherry cordial and letting her watch 'Good Times'.

[father_peter]

I suppose if I jumped up and down and yelled "Stop it stop it stop it" that would only encourage you, wouldn't it?

Damn.

[elizabeth_long]

Indeed it would! You have the foresight, Little Brother!

And that 'stop it' dance is adorable. You should teach it to David!

[father_peter]

Yes, I'm psychic!

I'm sure David already has a 'stop it' dance of his own, he doesn't need mine.

[father_peter]

Oh dear lord, I'm going to have a brother. And it's going to be David!

Brilliant!!
