Family and other things
Oct. 18th, 2005 01:24 amWell, as I mentioned in my last post, I had a family party on Saturday, to celebrate my Uncle, Steve's 50th birthday. He and my Aunt, Helen (I've always called them by their first names, never Aunt and Uncle) are by far the coolest members of my family. But sometimes, they can still shock me. Sitting in the bar before dinner, Helen and I had this conversation: (As best as I can remember!)
Me: By the way, have you tried to email me lately? That's account's been bouncing.
Helen: No, but I check your site and stuff from time-to-time.
Me: Oh, you do? (I knew she knew about it, but had no idea she checked back!)
Helen: Yes, it's fun seeing what the mood of the day is and things!
Me: *Thinks* Moods? On my site? *Sound of penny dropping* You read my livejournal?!
Helen: Of course! What did you think I am, an internet innocent?
Me: But... there's some... really dodgy stuff on there! *Runs mind over recent posts and cringes*
Helen: Yes, there is. *Smirking*
Me: ...
So yes, dear friends, my Aunt reads my LJ. It's a good thing she rocks, or I'd have *really* freaked! ;)
*Waves at her*
In other news, we had some 'fun' on the way home on Sunday. We stopped to get petrol in the town about 4 miles from where we live. Now, it's one of the very few places that isn't self-service, an attendant fills the car up. So, hubby gets out, asks for diesel and gets his wallet. Suddenly I hear him cry 'No, I said diesel! The IDIOT of an attendant had just filled up the car with LEADED PETROL! It's a good thing he noticed and didn't start up, or the engine would have been ruined. As it was we had to leave our car there to have the tank drained and they had to lend us a car so we could get home and hubby could get to work today. Luckily the place was a dealership too, but yeesh! What a mess!
