flyboy_foxSooo, uh... my brother AND my dad are coming home to spend a week here, tomorrow XD Oldies on my friends list probably know that this week is going to be interesting...
I'm driving up to Farnham with my mom tomorrow to collect them and to help my brother move out of his Uni digs. He and my dad are staying at home for a week, then my dad is leaving and my brother is going off to... Barbados, I think, for a week with a friend, as a (belated) 21st birthday present.
Then my brother will be back for the rest of the summer. Having said that, perhaps with a note of trepidation apparant, I do have to say that he and I have been getting on better recently. It's my dad that I'm more worried about, to be honest. However, if I can find some Summer Work soon, then any potential clashes with my brother over the summer will be minimised by me being out of the house during the day. And it would be nice to see him, anyway. Despite our extremely rocky history and his past (this is the brother who was convicted of Actual Bodily Harm and sentenced to 8 months community service a few years back), he really seems to have grown up. He's studying Advertising and Brand Management at Farnham University College of the Creative Arts (lol FUCCA) and he's achieved 4 Firsts in his first year. That's really impressive and I'm proud of him for that. Besides, he's still my little bro...
So here's hoping that things go smoothly and that this first week with my mom, dad AND bro all at home won't be a nightmare XD (My mom can't stand my dad, which always makes for a lovely home environment :D). I should make the most of my time with Dad, I guess. He's probably going back to Colombia soon, and he turned 80 this year... so time is precious.
Maybe we've all grown up enough to have a rewarding, or at least non-apocalyptic, week together :DDD;;;
