Pumpkin's Rant of the Day: what time is lunch?

Tweet

Hello to you all. This is a bit of a silly rant today. Lots of serious things going on, but I don't want to talk about those things. Today, we're meant to be visiting my parents-in-law. My husband made the arrangements with his mum. I'd been nagging at him to contact his parents for a few weeks. I think he only called when he did because I told him I'm not going to have any free weekends for a while. Anyway, husband told me it was OK for us to visit his parents on Sunday (that's today). I asked if he'd arranged a time. He said, "after lunch." He then waffled on about whatever the reason was for them saying after lunch. He did not, however, offer any time. I don't know what 'after lunch' means. I don't always have my lunch at the same time each day. I don't know what time my in-laws have lunch. If I'm arranging things with someone, I'll give a time if I can. Even if it's not an exact time, I'll try not to he vague. I might say that I'll be somewhere after work, but people I say that to will know the time I finish work. So I don't know what time we're going over. It's just after midday now. I'm guessing we'll be going soon (another word that doesn't mean anything). In my family, we have a unit of time that we called a 'granddad', named after my dad! That can be any amount of time between 2 minutes and 6 months. If someone is coming to me, I don't bother too much about the time. As long as I'm home and I have an idea as to when to put the kettle on! When I need to get myself somewhere, I prefer to know/for the other party to know the time I'm expected. How do you feel about vague timings?
