Tom and Ange

Tom and Angie came over today. Ange let me know that Anna had wanted them to come over and have some salmon croquettes that she'd made but that they'd said they'd promised Mary to come today and so they'd go to Anna's tomorrow. I guess Anna still hates me. She's still never called the house.

I'm so glad they came to visit. Mary really loves to have visitors and especially to see her sisters and brother. And I think Angie needed the break from having Tom all to herself. She thinks he's a know-it-all! (Aren't we all?) Plus he never picks up after himself.

He kills me because he loves to tell these jokes he gets from Playboy magazines. How tactless! Or is it just like a brother?

It's quite funny that Angie and Anna seem to refuse to make his coffee for him the way he likes. As if they are convinced that they drink it the right way and he'll come round eventually. He drinks instant like they do, but he prefers it strong and COLD. They insist that he drink it weak (like they do) and HOT. I get the impression he almost likes coming here because I make his coffee the way he likes it.

At least Ange was in a good mood. I think Tom does keep her laughing--as well as gnashing her teeth!
