Val offered an apologetic look, but honestly, his mother was prone to chat about whatever she felt like. She had a habit of talking to everyone as though they were her best friend- He was sort of glad she seemed so at ease with Jag- It meant she liked him.
"I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to hear about how much you disliked my ex girlfriend, mum," Val prodded gently.
"I'm just saying she gave me bad- What's that word? Vibes? She gave me bad vibes," Margaret replied stubbornly.
"Bad vibes?" Val laughed. "What have you been watching that you're saying things like that?"
Margaret shrugged one shoulder and finished her tea. "I was watching a woman clean a house of bad energy with sage on that Tube thing ...The You Tube. Hired her to do ours!" she added cheerfully. "I thought you'd like that. You love that sort of thing."
Val laughed, shaking his head. "Oh dear lord, I really do wish I'd seen Dad's face when you told him you were doing that."
"I'll have you know it was your father who suggested it," Margaret scolded. "He said we ought to call you and ask you to come, but I told him you were far too busy. ...It feels better in the house now though, don't you think? It feels clean," she smiled, before turning her attention to Jag again. "You should film your juggling for You Tube. Good money in that sort of thing you know," she said, putting her cup down and looking at her shoes with a sigh. "I, on the other hand, have a party I ought to get back to."
