We are all off (minus teenage son) to celebrate my father’s 70th birthday. I am SO looking forward to it – my brother’s will be there with their families and whilst my father is not brilliant, it’s a huge relief to know that the last operation has helped and he is getting a little stronger every day. He’s still not drinking, so I’m not sure how he’s going to cope with us all. I suppose we should all not drink too. What a dreadful thought. Not good when the image that flashes through my mind is all of us sitting around the table with party hats on looking miserable and not speaking. Think I need hypnotherapy.
Very sadly though, I’m having to miss my very good friend’s second wedding. She’s having a HUGE party on Saturday night and I just can’t believe I won’t be there. Such a shame.
But. Family is family and that’s it and my father has been through SO much in the last year it will be a very special party.
Bit worried because Builder Bloke is coming and he can be very loud and opinionated – even more so after a few drinks. I’m just going to have to put him on the children’s table if he doesn’t behave.

Happy Birthday, Dad. I’m on the wagon as well, and although I’ve made Significant Other stop drinking at home, it actually isn’t too bad watching others drink. Honest.
