.......despite being woken up with a coffee 15 minutes ago

At 1pm I am picking my cousin up and bringing him over to ours, he and Lee are going to play pool in the local while I cook up a Sunday lunch.

D, my cousin, is a twin. You may have seen me mention his sister D. Remember the post about the surreal party at the conservative club in January? Well they are the birthday boy and girl. That was the last social event we were all together before my aunt died, and six months on the family are all still reeling from her death. D has felt the loss very deep, he's been deaf since birth and struggles to communicate his feelings, leading to a suicide attempt not long after his mum died.

Luckily he is much stronger and he and Lee get on well, hence today's invite.

My intention was to take the dog for a long walk, but the rain is very off putting. I don't mind rain, it's bathing the muddy dog I don't fancy.

Hope you all have a restful Sunday
