I  had been planning to spend a  quiet weekend at
2M6
home, so I wasn’t exactly over the moon when my
wife suggested visiting her brother’s family in the
countryside. She said they’d kept inviting us to go and
see them for a long time and she’d already promised
we’d be going there some time soon. ‘This weekend
is as good as any other one’, she argued. After a short
discussion (I was mostly doing the listening while she
did the talking), we reached a  compromise, which
a3c
meant, of course, we were going. We packed a few
necessary things, which completely covered the rear
window of the car and we set off. The drive was
a  typical one, with my wife chatting to Mark and
Chris, our sons aged six and three, while Sonia, our
M6
14-year-old daughter, and I  quietly showed how
unhappy we were about being made to go, although
I did it in such a way that nobody could notice.
When we arrived, we were given a  really warm
2
welcome, especially by the family’s huge Labrador,
which happily jumped up at me, ripping my expensive
coat. We had some quick refreshments, and then the
children went out to play with their cousins, and my
wife disappeared into the kitchen to help prepare
dinner. In the meantime, I joined Dave, my brother-
in-law, for a  walk around the property. After some
rain, this was a  muddy business which completely
ruined my brand-new shoes.

As we returned shortly before dinner, we found
out that we needed to go to the Accidents and
Emergency department at the nearest hospital some
10 kilometres away, because Mark and his cousin
had had a  big fight and both needed stitches.
Apparently, they had tried to decide which one of
them was a better ‘Jedi’. Besides this, Chris had been
playing in the garden, and had got bitten by an
insect which had caused an allergic reaction because
his right arm went awfully red and swollen. 'OK boys,
get in the car,' said Dave. 'At least, we won’t have to
go twice,' he added. When they returned an hour
later, we had dinner.
Surprisingly, the rest of the afternoon passed without
any major disasters. We had a  chat and some
delicious cake made by Ellen, Dave’s wife. However,
when it was time to go home, we couldn’t find Sonia
anywhere. It was Dave who eventually figured out
that she might have gone in the attic, because it
was the place with the strongest internet signal. And
there she was, totally caught up in chatting to her
friends online. 'It has been a lovely day,' said my wife
as we arrived home two hours later. 'We’ll have to
repeat it some time soon.' And the really worrying
thing was that she really meant it.
