Sister Act

It's been fantastic meeting up with my sister Avril again. In the past 30 years we've only met once, when she came to England for a brief visit in 2000.
Ross has been finding the whole thing a bit disconcerting, as we are so similar. Not just mannerisms, but other foibles too.
We both have to hold onto a rail when walking down steps (no sense of balance). Our favourite ice cream flavour is pistachio with coffee a close second.
Naturally, I am younger, slimmer and prettier, but she is more mature, cultured and intelligent.
We also share a similar sense of humour, so here are just a couple of quotes.
To a shop assistant: "This is my sister and brother-in-law. They are here celebrating 25 years of happy shopping."
On her marriage: "When Ric and met it was like a biblical experience. We were at it for 40 days and 40 nights!"
