We’re off to a bit of a shindig at Ted and Beryl’s
this afternoon. The good part is that there’ll be quite a few members of their
family there, and there’ll be loads of food. The downside is that we’re
ostensibly there to all watch the Women’s Football together. I’ll have to feign
interest in how well the England team are doing, while shielding Mathew’s ears
from Ted’s angry swearing, and hoping Ted’s blood pressure stays low enough to
keep him alive so I don’t have to go into First Aid mode. He does get carried
away at times, bless him. Nice to see a man of his age getting passionate about
something, but I’d hate to see his life ended by him over-reacting to a sports
event that isn’t going the way he wants it to.
