_. Bank Holiday in Scotland
Mum and Dad's birthday. Whilst Ally and I were back at work the rest of the family went to Cracoe for lunch. I spent the whole day watching the clock wishing I could be with them. Ally phoned to say she'd bought a fern for Mum and Dad - a temporary present until I get some money. Oh, how I need money.
Ally met me in Guiseley at 6 and we found a full house knocking back wine at Pine Tops. Dad was drunk. They all left at about 7 so that Mum and Dad could get ready to go down to Giovanni's, but it soon became painfully obvious that Papa was in no fit staten to go anywhere. He was tottering around with an ashen face and bloodshot eyes. However, they did leave at 8, but were back within the space of half an hour. Dad staggered up to bed and Mum burst into tears, saying he has ruined her birthday.
Ally went to bed at 10:30 and I sat with Mum for two hours.
