Cousin Linda is over from Canada. On Friday we had a do. I did a buffet. We ate in the garden.
Jeanette and Emma played with the shock ball. Cousin Linda emailed home.
Me and Emma posed for next year’s christmas card photo.
Pete, Lorraine and Enisa drank red wine. Well, Enisa didn’t. She’s underage. For another 11 days. We share birthdays. On 23rd May, I will be exactly double her age. For the only year of our lives. Leah joined us after Brownies. Cousin Linda bought her flowers and goodies in a posh bag. We all got goodies in posh bags. It’s a ‘from my house to your house’ thing. Must look that up. Me and Emma got flowers, canadian maple syrup (beautiful) and a room vaporiser set. It doesn’t vapourise your room. That would be silly. And somewhat of a cruel joke. It vapourises the fragrant liquid so everything smells like vanilla. Instead of cats and rabbits.
Later we played nurses. On account Linda is a real live proper nurse. As opposed to a mental health nurse. Or a student nurse. We measured everyone’s blood pressures and came up with very different readings. To give them a choice. It was fun. I was swaying and giddy because it was so much fun.
Now, I am not having fun. I am essay-ing and revise-ing. But in ten days, it will all be finished and done. Then I will spend some proper quality time with cousin Linda. She’s gone away to Scotland for a week. Then she’s back round our way. She’ll be around for my first week off. She’ll be staying over the road at Jeanette’s. My mum will be spending some time at our house. We shall do things. And go places. And chat.
I’m looking forward to it.
