My ma just got a new job closer to home and is happy because she’ll have more time at home to nap and drink tea.
My da: same as usual, learning new testament Greek, the Lord, making stuff out of wood.
my mum has been really into making dungarees for babies recently:
we’re going to seville for a week at the weekend, so my dad is currently mostly obsessed with researching/planning things to do while we’re there.
Those are very cute!

Mum: 90 day fiancee, Eric Theiss and the copper chef pans, buying rubbish gadgets off the internet from china that turn up 3 months later
Dad: Gardening, Horror and B movies, Going to irish pubs with my mum, carbs (which he shouldne be as he is diabetic).
