Soupir means ’sigh’ in French and I think I might already have a blog post with that title, alas. I know I just blogged before but I totally forgot to blog about the fact that my dear Canadian relatives have now well and truly left Australia to return to their homeland. Apparently, my cousins saw a slideshow of photos my uncle took and everyone seems to have determined that I have cute fists (when bunched up, hadouken-style). Apparently, I don’t look menacing at all! Pout.
It was really lovely to have family over here…the house seemed so empty after they all left and the room they were staying in didn’t feel like my room again (Uncle and Auntie were staying in my old room at my parents’ place). The good news is that I’ll get to see them in a year’s time.
But my goodness, didn’t we eat an awful lot of food in the time they were here! We ate out so much! Gosh, I can’t remember having so many good meals. We didn’t go to too many fantastic touristy-type places - it just seemed nicer to spend time with them chatting and often watching TV. Geez, we’re so lame, as if they can’t do that in Canada!
One of the nicest things they said to me was that if I were to get married and the wedding was next month, they’d drop everything all over again and come over for my marriage. Now, that’s seriously unlikely to happen (ever, actually!) but the fact that they said it…it made me feel loved.
Sigh, ’cause life is back to normal now. Even my pussycat loved them and he’s usually so damn stand-offish with…everyone.
