hathycolThe inlaws are coming! The inlaws are coming!
I have reasonably complex feelings with regards to Richie's family. Generally speaking they are nice people. Visiting us this time are Richie's dad, stepmum and younger sister who are definitely a good batch for visiting - admittedly Kenny remains indecipherably Aberdeen for me to get more than one word in three but there we go. They're not staying with us, either, and are staying in a hotel in central London. This is a massive improvement on when Richie's mum and her partner came to stay in Wandsworth of all places and the whole weekend was basically super awkward. Also, I get a bit awkward about Richie's family because I don't see them that often and I have the constant fear that they're judging me. Which they're not, obviously, but it's still a constant fear.
However, Richie's stepmum keeps their house as neat as a new pin. So today has thus far involved a lot of cleaning, as they're coming around tonight for food. I'm not cooking and we're going to do a takeaway (mostly because we only have a table and chairs for four pople so we need to eat picnic style in the living room) but it still needs I need to clean all of the things while Richie goes to get them from the airport. Well, except the ironing. The ironing is hidden in the bedroom, there's not a cat in hell's chance I'm doing all of that when I don't have to.
Anyway. So I have this visit, the Den of Geek Doctor Who pub quiz on Wednesday, Thursday 'off', out on Friday, out on Saturday and presumably lying on my bed and wishing for death on Sunday. Busy, busy.
