Hello Kitty!

I'm off on my travels again.

And it's not just me that's travelling this time.  We are a bunch of Brennan's travelling and for the next few days Holland, or as I should really call it (after the in depth geography lesson I received from my Dutch colleague) The Netherlands, will be treated to an influx of us!

Hmmm...I wonder what the collective noun for a bunch of Brennan's is?  I suppose for now until I come up with something better I'll loosely use the term 'family'.

Kitty's also coming with us.  I like Kitty!

She's very generous and always willing to go along with whatever we want to do.  If you want coffee and cake, she's right there with you.  Lunch?  Dinner?  Taxi?  You name it (eh... within reason) and she always manages to sort everybody out.  On previous trips, she has been more than generous.  She has even been known to visit the bar, and co-incidentally she has the same taste in fizzy wine as I do.  What luck!  Her only downside is that she requires supervision.  Usually Deirdre (the big sister) supervises Kitty, they get on very well together and can adapt quickly when the situation requires it.

But, as usual, when there is a family of Brennan's together, there is always a power struggle.  And I fear on this trip that the struggle will be for supervision of Kitty!

I have no interest in supervising her.  But I think Deirdre's qualifications for being in charge might be brought into question by my Mother, who claims to have much more experience dealing with Kitty over the years.

I'm happy not to get involved, and just sit back and be looked after for this trip.  Of course, if my Mother wins the power struggle, and I find that Kitty is coming back from the bar with red wine, then I will have to step in...
