Merry fucking christmas

Stinking hot.

Bored stupid most of the day while people either a) slept or b) watched the tv or played the computer with the sound at deafening pitch. Tried to read my book, but found that it was only possible to be comfortable enough to concentrate on the text while I was in the lounge room, and then it was too fucking loud to concentrate on reading.

Really craved a drink, but wouldn't give myself the oblivion. Besides, most of it was gone by the time we got there, and I will not drink wine, particularly not wine that smells reminicent of bourbon.

Vainly hoped father in law would restrain his drinking and his nasty tongue, but he let both fly, and ended up saying very hurtful things to mother in law and storming out. While the man can be an absolutely lovely human being, he can be a real mean, paranoid bastard when he's been drinking. And then everyone gets lashed out at.

On the upside, recieved Bravemouth, the second billy connolly book and Angel calendar from inlaws, and soul survivor and scooby doo on DVD from emma's brother David. (Calendar count now totals five, including the one we bought about a month ago, thinking we'd need it.)

peeves, xmas, weather, family, books
