Informed…
Okay, so, Erin is leaving at the end of May to spend a month and a bit travelling aorund England, Canada and the US with Peta. At the same time, my parents are spending a fortnight up in Newcastle with Monica. This leaves me here all on my lonesome for 10-14 days (not totally clear on the duration yet. I’ll know more closer to the date).
What’s the first thing my father tells me? (And, I realise he could have been joking — but he wasn’t.)
“Now, while we’re away, you’re not to throw any parties here, understand?”
Uhh… yeah. I know it’s going to be a real struggle for me to avoid throwing a party.
<monotone> Oh woe is me. However shall I resist the temptation. I have been put in an intractable position.</monotone>
