You know I love you greatly and value your opinion in all matters. On a more selfish note, can I not be called MBTD's wife. It conjures an image that I can't relate to and saddens me for some reason. Zia's wife...love it. Doctor's wife...creepy. I'm not sure why and I'm sure I need some self reflection here, but the pineapple is calling my name so I'll self reflect later.

One set here in Oz and one set in Canada. The Canadian loonies always come visit us to escape the Canadian winter which lands them smack bang in the middle of a Brisbane summer so they spend most of their time complaining about the heat, cranking up the air con and scoffing gallons of coffee all day. About four days into a two week visit from them and I'm making excuses to run errands to get out of the house. The local Outlaws are even harder to take - they say horrible things, exclude certain members of the family from family occasions (sometimes us), and that Mother In Law has a habit of being very two faced and is quite the most immature selfish woman I've ever met. You can't trust a word she says to you and she will frequently stab you in the back as the minute you part company. I've seen them only once since Christmas (which is a new record) and I am deliberately trying to keep the contact as minimal as possible. I envy your seemingly harmonious situation.
