My parents as you may remember, came over last year for Xmas and stayed until Easter before leaving for home and the warmth of the UK summer.
They are are now suggesting coming back *this* year for the same deal… a six month stint – if they can manage it. And there’s the run as Shakespeare was wont to say. There’s no saying they can manage it.
Seems the old lady has deteriorated badly since returning home and since the Oz government already turned down a request for a visa extension it is a moot point currently if they will allow her to return as a tourist for another visit.
All we can do is wait and see of course but the possibility of their arrival makes long term planning a tad difficult. Add to their possible arrival the suggestion by my eldest daughter that she, her two kids and her boyfriend will be trying to come over as well to stay over Christmas and New year and you might be able see the edges of panic beginning to ripple around the fringes of my psyche.
Now throw the daughter being pregnant and intending to arrive a month before the birth
… and how do I feel? 🙂
If it all comes off… there could be at least 11 of us here. If we have any foster kids here too then all I can say is that Xmas is going to be a *very* ‘interesting’ time.
