Day TwentyFive

An even layzer start on Sunday than Saturday yesterday. Some of us pottered around in dressing gowns in the morning, no formal breakfast, just a bit of sunday paper reading and ditto internet.

The afternoon was spent at my wife's aunt for lunch, which ended about five'ish. Unusually my son had agreed to come along because it was "just lunch". He is not a fan of familiy gatherings, as we just talk talk talk. Around four o'clock his patience had been used up, and he left to take the trip back home with public transport. It being Sunday (longer intervals between each bus/trains) and that the trip being "across" the normal radial pattern of the routes, meant that we arrived home in the car before him. He was NOT pleased, when he arrived, and it will be some time before he will come along again. Pity, but he is grown up enough to decide for himself.

Today is my brother's birthday and he lives far off (16 hours drive according to the GPS) so we usually indulge in an hour long telephone conversation about life and anything else. I just finished that one. Yes it was late, and I barely made it before the day was over, but that is part of tradtition, too.
