Being that I have a heart of stone, I'm having a nice day getting reconnected with that trifling thing called emotion. My Nigerian flatmate's family has descended upon our flat and I really don't mind. Her little brother is sweet, I found an old Scream mask with blood spurting around the face form halloween which he has far more fun with it than I do. And he appreciates my juvenile taste in videos (Mask, lion king etc..).
What really touched me was having her mum around. No hand shaking or polite head nods- but full on huge hugs which knock the breath out of you. Then after a tummyful of spiced rice and fish stew, I'm a happy bunny!!
So despite the fact that I have no flat at the moment (it's filled to bursting with people) it's lovely. Very wholesome familyness night tonight! Especially as I also made a malteser cake for my flatmate to celebrate his successful job application to P&G!! Smiles all round..
