The family has been in fine fettle the last few days - grandma dropped her hearing aid in her morning bowl of cereals and almost cracked a tooth on it, I managed to give myself some involuntary electric shock treatment the other day and my father has congratulated my mother on her birthday for the first time in 28 years. At least so she claims - I think she is exaggerating, 25 years seems likelier. He has become incredibly sentimental since the brain tumor, realising that you are mortal does interesting things to people.
