Family stuff

I have been at grandma's, up the hill. See how I fulfill all the family obligations on my lonesome? Mostly this involved her telling me about all the things she hated and people she hated, at length, repetitively, for an hour or so, while I tried not to pass out from awkwardness. But then I got to talking about my aching feet and the Liquorice Festival next weekend, and it was all good. Also she gave me a box of chocolates, because she has too many in her fridge and doesn't eat. So all in all a decent two and a half hours, and my £40 a month is less likely to be suddenly and abruptly cut off. Hurrah.

Parents get back tomorrow. It feels slightly pathetic that in the week I had to fend for myself I managed to cripple my feet and come down with a mild cold in the middle of a heatwave. But then I still managed to get to work every day even so, and take care of the dog. So perhaps I deserve extra points. I don't know. Mostly I'm glad I didn't somehow die or get stranded in Hull somehow. But soon they will be back, and I can stop acting like a grown-up, and convince them to take me to see Pirates again. So hurrah.

Doctor Who finale in 15 minutes. Omg.
