anyway, I haven't heard from my parents, in the last few days...despite sending that friendly email...regarding their 'move' across the road....I do hope that my mother hasn't taken uncle bobby's advice in relation to a storage firm or 'removals' firm etc etc....oh and upon that note...she was to tell me that uncle bobby clayton is now "a different man"...not a 'changed man' mark you, or a 'new man'...but a different one...she was to emphasis that point twice, in two different phone calls...go figure....this is all getting rather absurd, isn't it?

maybe I'm just making a bit too much of it all, eh?
