Unlike many out there, I really do  rather love my mother-in-law. That's not to say that she doesn't, from time to time, do things that make me wish I was single however. Like just now. She's off on a Rest & Recuperation jolly at the mo, and Himself just gave her a call to see if she was having fun yet. In the background the youngest decided it was way past time to kick off, so Oma "had a word". Actually she had many, and while I'm very grateful that this seems to have brought a major strop to a peaceful conclusion, did she really have to tell the kids about the talking budgies she had as a girl??? I now have two kids squawking and making a hell of a racket, and it's WAY past Gin o'clock!
 Speaking of Himself, he's on top form tonight. Bloody funny for a German, even if I do say so myself. Was bewailing the fact that Facebook only sends him updates from a select few of his FB friends..." If I want notification of someone's posts, do I have to mark them with a yellow star? FFS! I thought those days were long gone!"
