Decided to catch up with family in the middle of the state in a magnificent inland gold mining city. Settled on a Monday/Tuesday as it suits my schedule & is easier on the hip-pocket nerve. There's my mother's brother & his wife in one family, their daughter & her family in another location plus another cousin & her husband & teenage kids.
I've not seen Jacqui & Jamie for about 5 years, and Uncle Mike for 2 years. The other cousin I met up with a few months ago.
Cousin Jacqui didn't have to change her maiden name when she married Jamie, his parents had separated quite early in his life & his father was no real father-figure to him. So he asked Uncle Mike if he had any objections to him (Jamie) taking on Jacqui's surname when they married.
No objection recorded, quite the reverse.

Just realised I've made it through another winter without needing an influenza injection.

Highway patrol wagon pulled into the driveway just in front of me when I got home. I took the opportunity to go out the front & bring in the mail. Cops were talking to one of the new residents of Unit 7 about some family-related domestic issue.
Back home after taking Mother for her quarterly checkup. My troublesome knee & back came good with the aid of painkillers & anti-inflammatories, both oral & topical. Slighty sore back, a bit more than is the normal state of affairs.
Oddly, it wasn't until my sciatica & lumbar stenosis were diagnosed two years ago, that I realised I have a small degree of permanent pain in the lumbar region.
@larand The first thing I dump under such circumstances is Safari data, then Safari's reading list.
@matigo According to Wikipedia, Plurks can be up to 210 characters, which ain't 212.
