Inlaws (2019#17)

Just a quick pop in to whinge about our guests - E's dad and his girlfriend are staying with us and boy is it true that guests start to stink after 3 days.  E has a fraught relationship with his dad anyway, and frankly I'm shocked that his dad even came.  But they did and they are staying with us in our apartment and E is about to lose his shit.  Today is Saturday, they arrived Wednesday and leave Tuesday.  So we are half way done.  So this morning his dad asked if I had anymore peanut butter, as the jar is about empty and E said he'd go get some.  We'll it's Saturday morning and all the stores are closed still so he walked to four different stores, and either they were closed or he couldn't find it.  He got back and said he was going to Super Tesco (which requires the tram).  We all tried to convince him he didn't need to do this, but E was in one of his moods and has gone off to Tesco to get the peanut butter that his Dad asked for on a whim.  So now I am in the living room with the two of them and we are sitting in deathly silence and I'm too tired of them and feeling far too overloaded to smooth things over.  Argh.  Family is always hard, but I have no barometer.  

I'll be back at the end of the month (if not sooner) to give my September wrap up and to talk about our 12 day sin Athens, which was pretty spectacular.  In the mean time, send me strength and patience.
