other things which I may or may not remember...
...other things in my day...
My mother has announced that I Shall Go To Bath To See 'The Family'.
Since my gran died almost a year ago the family has been somewhat...different. Gran was prolly the only one who spoke to everyone, and to whom everyone spoke. SO now everyone else has to make an effort.
To put it simply, my family is not a close one. I'm far closer to my stepfamily (My dad's wife's family) than to my own family.
The funeral was a little strange - I probably LJ'd at the time, but in the line-up whilst we were awaiting the coffin we were still being introduced. I met my grandfather for the first time in my memory.
Anyway, I digress. So, the family have decided we must now all meet up. My presence has been demanded. Given that it's the weekend of my father's birthday (and no, he isn't invited) I figured I'd go and stay with him for the Friday night, and the main part of Saturday, then go to Mother's place for the rest of the familia.
I'd rather not go.
My welder went a little weird today...started spurting big gouts of orange flames back up my hand/arm. Happily it was fixed by getting it a new shroud. It's the first new thing my welder's ever had. Well, apart from tips, but that's cos they get fucked really fast.
I'm sure I was gonna say other stuff...ne'er mind. My brain is fuckered.
