Good to hear it, Bbm - that's what friends are for. Hope that you (and your father) have many more opportunities and reasons for many more good laughs soon.

Apparently, when my mother went this afternoon, everything seems to be going well.The trouble is, with four other siblings wanting to see dad, it's going to be a tight time bracket, methinks.Originally posted by ferneyhoughgeliebte View PostGood to hear it, Bbm - that's what friends are for.

I'm glad to hear things are going well for your father, BBM.
I'm in bed at my elder son's house (yes, I know it's not even nine o'clock yet). Other son and family are in Mauritius, where I gather there are a lot of thunderstorms. My nephew's wedding is tomorrow. Son's holiday was booked before we knew nephew was getting married. Much agonising followed, but we persuaded him to go anyway. It's only a wedding.
I don't much like weddings, but the people-watching might be fun.Comment

Hope all goes well there Mary! Weddings and funerals are always strange affairs, imo?Don’t cry for me

They're actually very similar: in both cases you are bidding someone off into the unknown.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post

You get bigger cakes at weddings.Comment

Thank you BBM. I agree. All went well as these things go - two very different families trying to find common ground. I enjoyed meeting some cousins I rarely see, and managed a conversation which was basically a rave about Iestyn Davies with the one whose passion is playing in a recorder group.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post
My brother, nephew and best man wore kilts - very elegant, especially as they are all very tall. The bride (I don't like that word) seems a very nice person, and I suspect it will be a marriage that works well.
Musical choices were pretty awful.Comment

That's the thing with weddings etc, the music!! They need people who really know what music is! And all about!Don’t cry for me

Crikey.... for a moment I though Chandos were branching out into Formula 1 sponsorship....

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
