Yesterday was nice. Even with so many people about, mum managed to stuff everyone. The turkey this year was probably her best, and even her sprouts were good. How she does it I’m not sure, as I was banished from the kitchen all morning. I was just sitting about, not doing much.

As for presents, my haul consisted mostly of books, clothes and films. Part of me still yearns for a toy or two, but I’m supposed to be an adult now. Got a new watch too. I think everyone was happy with what I gave them, which these days seems to please me more than receiving. Odd isn’t it.

I spent yesterday nursing a distended stomach, wondering about the house seeing what everyone was up to. At such times, I act like some domestic flaneur. I love when the place is so busy. I must say, though, I’m very disappointed that everyone is pissing off today. To disappear so quickly seems…well… a bit rude, quite frankly. I don’t see my cousins enough as it is! Anyway I still owe Cyril a drink for graduation!

Speaking of such matters, I got a phone call last night from charlotte! I rarely get phone calls from anyone (usually I use email or facebook). Of course, it was great to hear from her; these days, we have much to discuss: lets just say there are two or three things in the offing, one of them huge. I’m going to try to wrangle a lift her way soon, if I can. I like getting phone calls though – it just feels so normal!

Anyway, I think my pc might be in demand. The house just went eerily silent too. Better go investigate.
