Grumpy Grumps
Dad was quiet today. He was awake most of the day but got a bit grumpy towards the evening. After a lot of fussing from the nurses, Mum asked if he was comfortable and he shot her a look so i asked if he needed anything or would rather we all piss off. I got told in a weak-voice "Piss off."

This helps us tell one day from another. We will have a full house tomorrow as my boyfriend will be here too. He has been away completing a course, so perhaps tomorrow we ought to celebrate the end of his exams with that party Dad mentioned. My brother will be in charge of drinks!
