Grrrr ... why is my sister not returning my calls?

I can't imagine she's 'not speaking' to me, we've never done that. My father left a message on my phone last week (I think?) asking when we were coming to Canada this year. Since then, I've called a bunch of times, always at sociable hours for Canada, to try to talk to him (he's living with my sister, I think).

And I haven't had a call back, and I've not had an answer.

My sister is very unlikely to be away on holiday (there aren't a lot of school holidays in the year there). That number is their business line, too.

I've tried phoning the family friend, in the same town, and her phone's been disconnected .

I'm going to have to give up and phone my brother, in another town, and see if he knows anything. Grrrr.

I'm not big on worrying, but wtf?

Do they have school-age children...is it a very busy time in the term?
Or could termites have eaten their house, necessitating an emergency camp-out?
Can't help feeling that you'd have been contacted if there was anything major up, hope so anyway

Hmm, that is strange and I would be worrying too. I'd definitely get on to the brother.
Hope everything is OK.

Oh, sorry, I got in touch with her this afternoon, it's all fine, she's just busy. Lots going on with her (DP's) work, and they have a six-month-old. Slightly crap of her, but whatever.

Thing is, I'm sure she's not been speaking to our brother, we're really not close with him (adopted out, v different from us). So it's probably good I didn't call him. (I think she likes him fine? Hard to know. Big mess.)

(I guess it's probably a good sign that I didn't think she was 'not speaking' to me, at least. I do feel totally unrelated to all of them, really.)
