Sorry, some of these blogs are weirdly titled because the word I’d like t use has been used before according to the system and if you don;t vary the thing it gets all confused and refuses to let you comment – eh, like, you mightn’t have QUITE A FEW opinions on a thing? and also the person who RUNS the thing might like to do ‘a series’….

Anyhoo, just wanted to comment on the quality of laughter. Tonight I heard my mum-in-law laugh very hard while telling to her son (the youngest of her family and the only boy – pet – and as I like to tell him he could still GO HOME – in jest of course, as all of you Marrieds will know…) I was stacking the dishwasher as this happened (nuturally) – actually, best not let that pass in case anyone’s irony button is not on – YES i was actually stacking that machine BUT the reason is it is the one area in which I am a TOTAL control freak = there is only one way to stack the thing as far as I am concerned and it is my way and that is the right way (if not the Far Right way) and i LOVE doing it, really and truly LOVE it. SO i only heard a bit of the story but the sound of Angela laughing would’ve done me it was so rib shaking and joyous. What I thought I heard her say, though it is somehow irrelevant, was “when you are buying wallpaper there’s only one kinda dog you want” – I thought she meant there’s one dog you walk away from one you do business with but NO she meant actually ON the wallpaper – and she bought a roll of whatever it was she found so much amusement in – can’t wait to see it on the wall!
