Entry 101!

Golly

Had the parents stay for the weekend. Got the usual gripes about my hair, my housekeeping, the food (Friday night is F&C night, not something they would normally eat) and why I haven't finished the thesis, and less vigorous passes at my clothes. Once they have got that all off their chests, the rest of the weekend was good. They have been on holiday in Australia, and were passing through on their way home.
The brat was in a very tiring mood, with "Mum, why?" or "Mum, what?" or "Mum, when?" questions every 2 minutes, and general chatter in between the questions. After an hour or so my tolerance and calm is being battered away, and I need some silence, preferably on my own. But at least if I explain to him I need some silence he can understand that, and can be silent for a clear period of time - like a drive to town.
Discovered Moore wilson's which I have know about but not visited before. Lots of kitchen toys, and my Csumerist side was a very happy critter, seeing so much stuff to desire. But all I bought was a plastic box for bath toys. Yay, me!
