They’re here!

14/04/2008 by Aileen.

We picked up Liam and Kieran (I’m dropping my ‘keep them anonymous’ paranoia) at Penrith. We had a lovely meal with quick friendly service at Stonybeck Inn. Probably cheaper than a service station too.

Liam had a few tears at bedtime as he missed his mum and dad, but Kieran was his usual hyper self. It’s marvellous how much gin the two of them can knock back. You have them really well trained Ali. They’re being our slaves today, and if they do everything to my high standards they will have bread and water for lunch.

Ali says she doesn’t read my blog but her friends do. They think it’s hilarious. Hilarious? This is a serious commentary on dandruff, the meaning of life and other important issues. In years to come social historians will pour over it and draw serious conclusions.

I think it’s amazing that no matter how much I write, it takes up no physical space. It’s just out there in The Great Blueyonder. (Great book by Jeffrey Deaver by the way.) If there were no electricity there would be no blog (among other things!) It’s not really here.

A bit like us really. God makes us out of nothing, and if she turned herself off we would disappear too. God is the power. With love thrown in. Or better, God is the love, with power thrown in. (And I know ’she’ is probably even worse than ‘he’ but I can’t use ‘it’ so I’m stymied. It’s impossible to talk about God and make any sense.)

Anyway, we’re off to the park today. We were going to go to Flamingoland, but Liam doesn’t like rides so it would be a waste of money. He wants to go to the park and have a picnic. Super. Easy, cheap, fun. And our first opportunity to use our swish picnic hamper.
