*eyetwitch* Paterfamilias had his Xmas in July last night, and it was the first time my Uncle Arsehole and his Spousal Unit had met my husband creature. (This has been intentional, I've been very carefully avoiding any events where said Uncle was likely to be since the Xmas in July a couple of years ago when he got stocious and suggested that he ( Read more... )

Hiya. Sorry to have left this for so long, but there was a significant period of self-indulgent navel-gazing black-dog-ignoring after the aforementioned nutritionist's extreme lack of tact.

So. While driving to church yesterday morning (shaddup), wolveshoard and I were involved in a small traffic incident. Silly old coot on his way to an RSL meeting "didn't see" us and rolled merrily through an intersection. In the wet. wolveshoard became my Personal Hero by performing the perfect evasive manoeuvre - sped up and swerved out and in. Maybe with a bit ( Read more... )

And then I'm off in the morning for sunny Rockhampton. I have been informed that the room in which I'll be sleeping has been air conditioned, so at least I know now that I'll survive. Although having hyperventilated myself awake this morning with a really disturbing night terror (the first one I've had that I've actually remembered in years), I'm ( Read more... )
