Or will be late next Spring. I'm flabberghasted - though I somehow suspected it when my next brother down phoned while I was out last night, but left no message. Well! Not sure what to think. This'll be the first baby since I had little Miff nearly 15 years ago. I'm thrilled for them both, but .... :) Too much to take in just now.
It makes a change to have some good news, mind you. Especially after this weekend just gone. I'll draw a veil over our to-ings and froings on Saturday sorting out Mr M's Mum's flat. Suffice it to say, we finally crawled back onto the motorway at gone 8 pm, feeling like a couple of wet rags. If patience is a virtue, I'm surely in line for canonisation - poor Mr M's fuse lasts for all of three minutes when he and Mrs M snr are together. And yours truly is caught in the crossfire.
Hence on reflection, it wasn't the best idea to take myself off to two services yesterday - seeing as I'd not been near the church for some weeks. Morning I could cope with; being on library duty, which I enjoy. Evening's a different matter; I've only been an occasional visitor these last few months - and last night I was down to make the after service coffee. I used to be so keen, but now... don't know what it is exactly, but the last few times I've been I've come out feeling worse than when I've gone in. I coped last night by spending much of the service dozing outside in the hallway. And for the life of me I simply can't work up any enthusiasm for anything churchy at the moment. Ah well.
