Never underestimate gramps my mum grew up in relative affluence, but both she and my dad taught us how to make a little go a long way at home, and my wife's parents and grandparents did the same for her; it wasn't that long ago that their society was well-acquainted with hardship. We've both (well, mostly me) inherited a tendency to hoard things that may come in handy.

In other news, I'm wfh this week, and no work next week. My mum and sis were supposed to leave for sthlm yesterday, but my conniving daughter used her supernatural powers to get their train canceled, so now they're going tomorrow instead. I hope the train gets canceled again
