Through to +1/2's parents today for a New Year get together with the family including all of +1/2's sister's children which is the first time I've seen them all together in years. Lovely food, great catching up and, of course, a game of Trivial Pursuits.

I took the opportunity to ask if I could borrow +1/2's father's turntable again; I'd had it on long term loan for many years until I ripped all of my vinyl but recently got some records to rip from some friends. I'd set it up to make sure everything was still working fine when +2/3 came down having had a bad dream. "What's that?!"
