So I never got round to finishing that bit about those few compact discs I'd borrowed from my friend... I guess that is it. Or is it?
I said to my good friend on the phone this morning whilst in the middle of quite a general conversation: ''we have to ingrain that nothing ever stays the same'', in other words, nothing is permanent, perhaps more so in context.
But, a very strange thing happened this weekend; someone my family has known for a long time who is not well was told to have passed away and inevitably, my parents told close relations yesterday at a family birthday. Today however, it would seem this was a huge misunderstanding, more likely a case of Chinese whispers. I can't imagine how my parent's would feel... relieved, angry... stumped? Let alone the next of kin, I am not sure of their knowledge of the whole thing though.
So, I said this to my friend before I found out it wasn't true, statement stays the same though, in this instance.

There is a possibility my sister could have her babies anytime in the next 10 weeks, they are a 'healthy size' and in other words, running out of belly, I just hope if they do decided to come early it is without complications, no doubt they'll have some demands when they get here.
I'm feeling very 'fuzzy' (the only word I can think of, not one that's amazing but..eh) about my sisters family home while I've been here. This morning me, my sister and my nephew walked to his school. He has just started year two, I was overwhelmed at the glee I felt, watching him play with his friends, he has so much character. I haven't spent much time here or with my sister and her family this year it feels.
After my dad told me yesterday about our relative, It felt all the more important to make the most of the day our whole family had together; cousins, aunties, uncles, nannies, grandads, nephews, nieces, grandchildren, partners and friends, all the P family, most at least, we haven't been together like that in ages and it really did feel lovely.
This week after my stay here I'm hoping to go home via my grandparents for a night or three. My nan looked so happy yesterday, it was a celebration meal for her eightieth. Also two minutes walk from there are my cousins, auntie & uncle. I rarely see them but my cousins and I are all near the same age and as I found out more'so yesterday they have pretty good music taste, I may even propose a jam with my uncle on the guitar, how likely this is I can't say, but, you don't know unless you try...

It's late,
I should shower before school,
so...
Oh, and
I also gave my nan a copy of our bands recording, just so she would be able to hear what we've been doing, her eager reply melted my heart, I think it's stuck in that shape for a while now.
