The above went quite okay, and I am so glad about it!
As usual, I was anticipating major frictions, and I had an inkling about what those might be about: dad found out that I had been last year and not told him. Two people divulged this on the same day. I wanted to spare his feelings, as we did not have time to see him. There was nothing nasty about us not telling him about the visit.
Of course, they asked, and as previously agreed, I firmly declined to comment. I did not want to either lie or discuss the whole thing. The topic was dropped quickly, and after two minutes of silence, the evening continued okay.
It was difficult to see my uncle who was recently told that he has only a year to live. What do you say when you say goodbye to someone who you may be seeing for the last time ever?
I am going home for the weekend – it`s my granny`s birthday.
I`ve been looking forward to it but right now, I am not exactly savouring the thought.
My dad and wife have found out that we were there last year and did not see or tell them. Oops.
The biggest news: My sister will get married to her boyfriend of one year in January!
They were talking about marriage from quite early on, and initially, people were a bit concerned that it was all happening too quickly! However, things are going well and a date has now been set!
I am really happy for them! Come January next year, they will have been living together for more than a year!
I`m glad that I have not firmed up plans to spend Christmas in Germany – I had thought about this, after not having been for 5 years! Now, we`ll go a week later instead!
Oops, I have not been doing too well with this blog! I started well but then stopped blogging until two people recently said to me that they are actually reading my blog and noted that I have not written for a while.
Well, I will take you on board and take up blogging again, honestly!
Thank you!
