[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 66960, member: 1991"] G'day, all. No time to greet you all individually, I have a house full of family and they've only just sorted out who is sleeping where. It's easy child 2/difficult child 2's 21st birthday celebration tomorrow, lunch in Sydney's Centrepoint Tower - revolving restaurant. Forecast is for rain, but at least no fog (thank goodness). There will be 12 of us - should be fun. easy child & BF1 are up from Canberra (already gone to bed); difficult child 1 & girlfriend are still in the living room with easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2, all watching Forrest Gump (yet again - still, it's a good film); difficult child 3 went to bed hours ago and husband & I are intermittently watching the movie and heading for bed. I doubt there is any hot water left - we'll have to leave it switched on overnight so we'll be able to have showers in the morning. I had to take difficult child 3 to the mainland to see a GP today - he has "an infection" and "needs antibiotics", was all I could get out of the doctor. difficult child 3 wanted me to buy a couple of catfish for his fishtank, so we went to an aquarium. Two men were in an argument as we drove up and as we were walking past, the bigger one began to shove the smaller one, knocking him into a car. The language was atrocious and the fighting began to heat up - I yelled at them, told them to stop that bad behaviour and foul language when in the presence of women & children. I wasn't sure if the big bloke was going to go for me as well, although it would have looked bad if he had - beating up an older crippled woman - but someone from inside had heard me yell and came out to break up the fight. And I hadn't even reached full volume! The big bloke began to mutter, "Well HE started swearing at me first..." at which I said, "For heavens' sake, both of you, GROW UP!" When we came out they were gone. Good. They were fighting outside the place next door - one of those children's parties warehouse places. Great. Happy party time, kid. Your dad is beating up someone else's dad outside. That sort of thing doesn't happen often, I find a metaphorical bucket of cold water works well. And one more occasion when I'm very grateful for our weapons laws. I hope your Saturday is better than at least this part of mine was. Oh yeah - and we managed to get the catfish. They're 1 cm long, each. Cute. Marg [/QUOTE]
