Ramblins
We got a new couch, but they call it a futon, even though it is not what I think of when I think of futon. Anyway it folds into a bed and we got some nice "Roman" blinds to go with it so now our loungeroom looks nice! And we got the carpets cleaned.
We went to Geelong again on the weekend, including a party on Saturday night for Janey's cousin's engagement. We took Pop along, he does not really know his great-grandchildren on that side of the family because they are such a clan. Stick with the clan, man! Her dad says it was a typical party for them as most were drunk when the party started and only got louder. Anyway Pop was our excuse to leave early. The cousin is nice enough and her fiance also seems like a reasonable bloke, but I hate how those parties end up as "girl group cackling and talking exclusively about how drunk they get" and "guy group just being incredible cockheads".
We went round to Janey's parents' place for a bit to give her dad a Father's Day present. We got one for my dad too but I have not even called him yet, that is bad. We got Pop a coffee table book with pictures of Australia all up ins. And we visited friends that we wanted to visit for ages and ages but about the time we were last planning to their 18-year-old daughter died in a car accident and we only got to see them at the enormous funeral. Father's Day would not be easy for them this year, but they were godparents for a baptism we attended the next day. One of Janey's good friends moved to Japan some time ago and he married a girl over there and they had a baby, so they were all in Geelong to visit.
I have a fantasy NFL football team now! So I am clearly an expert. Everyone else in the league except one person plays damn World of Warcraft so I should win for karma reasons.
