we were all at home this morning....so that made a pleasant change. Bex off to "school" and others off to meetings...but not too early. Dad had a meeting with the Rector to discuss Parish things...we weren't sure what it was about, but it wasn't to discuss the new Pope anyway. Saying that, jokes apart, dad is BIG on interdenominational stuff....and is always trying to get the various religions to work closer together. Fortunately in St. Martin we do that anyway....a real parish community.
Dan made some coffee at lunchtime, Jack went to help his cousin at Rosel, and dad had time to run Mum into town to buy presents for the latest addition to St. Ouens.....and then a visit to maternity. All good there, and Mum and baby doing fine (not OUR Mum I might add).....
We had a visitor at lunchtime.....Tom from Bournemouth....aka Dan's best mate back from Uni. We asked if that meant that the easter holidays had started, and we were assured they had. There was no doubt about the fact by the evening as the kitchen started to fill up......there were at least seven or eight extras by the time Mum and Dad got back from their evening out......
......Quiz night at the Parish Hall to raise money for the St. Martin's Twinning Association. You can't say that they don't push the boat out...Dad drew the raffle, Mum was very upset that he didn't manage to pick any of her tickets. They were home just after 10.....back to house full of students and red noses.
Bex out, Jack out, Tom out.....Saturday tomorrow.....should have guessed.
Dad has discovered that the reason he is so overweight is because of his shampoo. Apparently it says "adds body and volume" on the bottle.....he says he'll be washing his hair in the sink from now on!
