I haven't seen my parents since Christmas
I phone them weekly and everything, but this weekend was meant to be a good long weekend chance to get together before they head off on holiday for a month (they're retired).

Anyway, I have had to cancel because of problems on the West Coast Line over Bank Holiday Weekend added to the fact that I have a big meeting on Tuesday and will need to go into work on Bank Holiday Monday as a result.

The actual truth is that I am being taken out with work tomorrow to a long lunch and then a free bar event after work, and I am likely to get absolutely shitfaced. Knowing this, I have decided that on Saturday I would rather stay in bed until the afternoon then eat pizza and play video games in bed rather than get up early and embark on a four hour journey by public transport to the arse end of the Midlands.

I do love them though, honest...

I know
It is getting a bit daft.

I think I'm going to take a week off in October and go join them on holiday.
