Cruel Eld, it has beset me

In a further and significant sign that I have indeed become old, Vicki and I are entertaining my parents at my home tomorrow evening. My aunt will also be coming, as she’s up from the Cape. This entails a sit-down meal with snacks and pudding and so forth – when did I reach the disturbing stage of entertaining my parents in my house? It’s like I’m grown up and stuff, and that can’t be right!
