Sympathy

16 April, 2005
Posted in: Siblings

Email from my feckless brother:”Checked in to the Blog for the first time in a while today…….it seems you were unhappy with the level of sympathy your rash was getting with the
family and turned to your blog readership for some more.

Good to see the Blog still survives notwithstanding the pressures of parenthood, ‘serious’ illness and gainful employment. Strange to see you out past your bedtime when I called last night…..hope you had a good night”

I think that’s a very commendable and brotherly sort of email. Telling it straight and yet no eviseration or excoration involved.
In fact, I’d be proud if I’d written something like that to my feckless and self-indulgent sibling….

Heather, that is the correct response. Jack, go to the back of the class.

No, no pog, right the first time.

Happy Birthday

16 April, 2005
Posted in: Princess

Very excitingly, the handsome Prince sent greetings from the Netherlands. He said, and I quote “Happy Birthday to the Princess Van Haar dappere Nederlandse Prins.”These Hiberno-Dutch princes are great linguists.  And emails from a number of other souls who are excellent at remembering the birthdays of friencs’ offspring.
Alarmingly virtuous.

Matters reached a crescendo today with the presence of 6 children and 9
adults all high as kites from excess sugar intake. Thank God it’s
a full year until next birthday.

Surely not a whole year! What about your birthday? Surely Mr. W showers you with an equal amount of attention.

Sugar? All I need is sugar?
Now you tell me.
Felicitations to poor mite/genius.

Thanks for your kind wishes. Yes, pog, I know, after reading your recent post I can’t help thinking of all the money you could have saved.
