Breaking difficult news to friends
We went round to Si and D's tonight for supper, and on arriving at their house and settling down in their sitting room, they told us that they had some bad news. They wanted us to guess what it was. First guess was that one of them had accepted a job somewhere else, and that they were moving. No. They've bought something. Something we'd disapprove of. An X-box? That's less disapproval, more jealousy. A video camera with special night-vision capabilities for videoing those "intimate moments"? No, worse than that. *gulp* Special equipment for those intimate moments? No - what might they have bought that we _really_ wouldn't approve of?Moo got it. They've bought a c*r*v*n. Really. Oh dear. A new one, at the Caravan, Camping and Boat show at the NEC in Birmingham. So, they went to a show where they could have bought at boat, and they came away having bought a c*r*v*n. Oh, dear. At least they realise what they've done, and it is a new one. But still.
Apart from this, we had a good evening, and they'd not seen Jo since she started walking, so she showed off to them and got licked a lot by their dogs. Jo's started running today, which is quite exciting. Every day there's something new.
