Today heralds the first day of my Christmas leave (hurrah!) In a bizarre twist of fate, my parents have got back together as Father was released from the Earthworm Sanctuary last year after a series of incidents which led to him tunneling into the nearby industrial estate and disturbing an illegal money laundering operation. The family house (do you remember back to how Father had caused it to subside due to his excessive burrowing?) - well, it's finally been demolished, the foundations filled with concrete and re-built in a similar style to the rest of the road. Mother left her fancy man in Spain as she found the heat 'excessive, cloying and quite frankly, awful' and re-joined Father. It's not a happy union though - they sleep in separate rooms and place a divider on the dining table to enable them to eat in (relative) peace.
I'm off to buy some Christmas presents after lunch. I've asked Cousin Eleanor and Emma to circle things in the Boots Christmas Catalogue and I'm hoping to take advantage of their '3 for 2' offer. I have purchased my parents matching acrylic jumpers with a festive teddy bear design on the front - hopefully it will bring them closer together?
