Argh. I drafted most of a post and then foolishly googled a song title with the post tab and lost all the text :(

Oh well.

Anyways, this last weekend I went up to my Big Sisters house to visit her, her Partner and my Older Nephew, my Next Sister and my Younger Nephew, who were also visiting Big Sister, my Brother, who had moved up there earlier this year, and also my Mum, who had decided that if all four kids, and both grandkids were going to be in one place for a weekend she was also going.

I was really good to see everyone in one spot, and especially great to see my nephews, are super cute and have gotten so big! (I am totally going to be That Relative that says 'you've grown so much!' dammit. Still at 1 and 2 years old they really are growing so much.

Older Nephew has also gotten really chatty, and is developing his musical tastes and would periodically demand songs by his own names for them, (there are a few that Big Sister and Partner just can't tell what songs he's asking for. He seems to believe that they are just being mean not playing them), and would sometimes get them played on one of his parents iPhones for him. At one point he even got his Aunties and Uncle and Nana dancing with him to one of them, which I think may have been the high point to his weekend. His favourites are 'Friends!' [The White Stripes - We're Going to Be Friends] and 'Fell in a Girl!' [The White Stripes - Fell In Love With A Girl]. There was also something by Violent Femmes whose name I can't remember, and something he referred to as 'Bang Bang Thingy' frequently requested...

Also I am now 30. Next Sister said she'd give me money towards a Threadless.com order for a birthday present, and I looked at their website tonight and saw that they had a 50% off sale. Well then. I went a little crazy and ordered many t-shirts (5) and a hoodie.

hazel is a terrible enabler, and also ordered 2 t-shits and a hoodie.
