Money week

Pa was excited to be presenting me with an article he saved for me to read and can not comprehend my lack of interest.  
I was excited that the heating had been on and the lounge thermometer said 17 degrees.
He spent some time being critical of my life choices, some on his instruction of things I have to do next time I visit and some on the birds that had visited his feeder this week.  The bird conversation was OK. 
My sister messaged later to say he'd had a finance rant to her on the phone and I relayed the above.i think he has just had too much time alone and indoors this week.
