The jury is still out on whether I invite H to join us for part or all of this weekend.

H will ring this evening to speak to D, so I need to have a plan ready, one way or the other.

By the way, IF I do invite him and he declines for whatever reason, I will NOT pout, I see it as an opportunity to have a relaxing weekend in good company, that's all.

By the way, H is not close to any of his family at all. I doubt he is *much* closer to his nephew and family than I am, frankly.

I think if this were any other family coming to stay, I would just get on with it and carry on without H, like I'm living my life. I really need to do that. But because they are H's relatives, I feel I should at least offer to include him.

Any further ideas from anyone, before this evening's call?
