Brother-in-law: "Why are you here, Shona, are you insane?"
Me: (in my head) I was guilt-tripped into this once again mate, and by the way - stop giving me twice the amount of food you're giving everyone else, it's not polite, it makes me feel like you think I'm a pig and anyway your cooking sucks. (out loud) "I'm not doing it next year, ha ha ha"
(somewhere vaguely in the background is playing the brand-new Doctor Who which was pretty much the only thing I was looking forward to today. Did I get to see any of it apart from him opening the doors and going "Miss me?"? Did I buggery.

*sigh*

Me and Dram had a great morning though, my neighbours bought me a present (the nice ones who walk the dog while I'm at work) - a really nice tin of shortbread and a bottle of wine - and they got Drammy some doggie chocs and a squeak toy.

And then I went up to sister's house.

Yeah.

'nuff said.

I hope everyone else is having a fantabulous time today - whatever you're doing!

At least Santa visited Dram.

He's killed the squeak already - it's almost funny!

Gracie already destroyed one of her toys, too. Dogs are like small children with sharp teeth, aren't they?

*hits your brother-in-law*

If you didn't manage to tape The Christmas Invasion they are repeating it on BBC3 on New Years Day at 7pm.

Ooo - thanks for the tip! I'll make sure I catch it then!

{{hugs}}

You doing okay?

**hugs back**

I'm doing okay - it's all just strengthened my resolve to break away a little and not be there every time they call on me for something. I remember my sister was a good sister once, but she's not really that same person anymore.

Are you feeling any better now?

Well. Um . . . I've slept a lot. I don't feel horrible today like I did yesterday, but all the pressure that was in my head yesterday seems to have settled in my left ear, and I'm dizzy all the time, so I think it's safe to say I'm still sick. Little ball of sunshine, aren't I?

Unrelated: Have you ever heard of the cartoon Danger Mouse?

Gnnnh, that doesn't sound good - make sure you take care of yourself!

And yup - I loved Danger Mouse! Baron Greenback and Penfold and all the others - they rocked!

I'm sleeping a lot today too . . . well, dozing. Gavin's here and feeling wonderful apparently, so a real nap's out of the question 'til he's ready to sleep. But dozing's good, too.

Reason I asked: Aric got two box sets of Danger Mouse from his Mum for Christmas. I'd never heard of the show, but Aric was absolutely thrilled. I've not watched much of it, but Gavin *really* likes it. :D
