Spent the evening drinking red wine and discussing the state of the world with the parents-in-law.

Returned home to find the answering machine blinking with an unprecedented three messages, as follows:


From Mum: Hi, it's just Mum here, wanting to talk to Lily. Nothing important, just haven't caught up for a while. Bye. Beeep!

From Mum: Oh, hi, Lily, I went over and had a look, and it seems the audience are on chairs on the stage. I couldn't see all that well, but the guy said they were all comfortable, but it didn't look as if there could have been much audience there. Beeep!

From (unidentified male): Aachen*, it's easier to process sixty tickets. *muffled giggle* Beeep!


* Some debate ensued over the exact spelling of this word. Possibly more like "Ah-um", possibly "I think", but seemed closest to the German city. The context (or complete lack thereof, even as far as I'm concerned) makes it difficult to work out which is more likely.

Distracted?

[(Anonymous)]

Have you been overly distracted Lily and not noticed that your mother has obviously shacked up with a German who is in show business.

It all makes sense from that perspective. :)

She admits nothing, but I suspect you've uncovered the big family secret. It's the only theory which explains all data points. But still, you'd think she'd be more careful about letting him conduct prank calls...
