Today was my sisters' birthday. We all congregated at my parents' house for Lunch. Well, a small Lunch, only four courses plus cake. Very very good, easy to make food. Excellent wine. The most time I have spent in familial company since Christmas. Actually, more time than Christmas, which was interrupted to visit Bastards' relatives. M'sister started the day hungover from celebrations the night before, and missed out on the goodness of wine.
Mum and I played three matches of Monopoly (there comes a point in every game where you know who's going to win, at which point both Mum and I prefer to forfeit and play another match) with the hot cross buns around teatime. The last match, I got all the properties in the last side, couldn't manage to complete any of the cheaper groups, but I'd just started to enhouse them when Mum forfeited. The only match I lost was the only one where I landed on Mums' groupings after she had started enhousing them. Mum found that frustrating.
It is now 11pm, and I just got home. I would like to reiterate that the wine was excellent.
Because it was.
