lokifan_importSo today I went to see my grandparents (parentals and sisters in tow). I’d actually forgotten we were going to see them, and I think my eloquent reaction to lavillanueva over MSN was ‘CRAP!’
But it turned out to be fairly fun, mainly because my Australian relatives – an aunt who emigrated, who brought her husband and two younger sons on this visit – were there, and they’re brilliant. The older sons are pretty brilliant too, from the sound of it:
AUSTRALIAN AUNT: He likes biking. Mountain bikes – jumping and going downhill very fast...
GRANNY: How dreadful.
AUSTRALIAN AUNT: *laughs* He plays lead guitar for his band too – rock guitar, Mum.
GRANNY: Well that sounds much more civilised.
ENTIRE FAMILY, INCLUDING GRANDPA: If you say so…
You've still got a day left to sign up for the cross-gen fest, guys! If you still haven't signed up, what are you waiting for? The deadline comes a month after the summer fests, so you'll have lots of time to write and draw!
