Okay, so it's recently come up that when I say "I didn't do it," it tends to raise red flags with people. I get it, I'm a nuisance to society and should be stopped, but this time I actually didn't do it. At least I don't think I did. Oh fuck, I hope I didn't.

Anyway.

We've got a problem. Maybe it's only a little problem because my sister loves me and okay maybe she's an idiot and we're really mad at each other but I'm also an idiot and I don't even know what I'm saying I just hope she keeps quiet.

She knows. I don't know how, but she does. And I guess I should say sorry because I probably did do it and I don't know when or how.

I'm sorry.

Who wants to come over? I bought lots and lots of booze.

You'll have to forgive the mess, though, some stuff got broken.

We should go out to dinner tonight.

I am man enough to admit that I am not looking forward to the look my sister-in-law gives me when they pick up their daughter after this weekend. However, what is an uncle to do when you are capping off a lovely Saturday afternoon tea with a visit for the toy store?

However, the look might have to do with her seven year old learning the joys of diving on a broom. Which, for the record, I had no hand in teaching her. I just provided the appropriate safety measures to insure we won't need to call on any healers anytime soon.

Well, there's not long left to go and I'm pretty antsy to get this season underway. I've never liked being one of the last teams out of the blocks - always preferred getting on the scoring table early, even though it evens out eventually. Don't really know why, but I still think it helps.

On other notes, the dog has been going mental for this weather. Even though he glares at me for actually letting him out into the garden, he'll still paw at the doors until out they go. I found to my peril yesterday that he's a big fan of the paddling pool that one of the neighbours put out for their kids...
