Mothers' Day

 I was awake very early, but stayed in bed until 6:30. I have no idea why I have been waking so early, but I don't let things like that bother me. It was another bright, if chilly, start to the day. I sat in the kitchen, with my coffee and watched a few YouTube videos that I had been meaning to catch up on.

Once Di had come down, we chatted over breakfast and then got on with the day. Being the 15th of the month, there was admin to complete. (I do the main household admin on the 15th, just as I pay most monthly bills on the 15th). I finished off with some research, then started preparing lunch.

Being Mothering Sunday, we had invited the girls. Kim, unfortunately, couldn't make it as she is suffering at present, has had a foul week at work, and has a significant essay to complete for University. We told her we would rather she didn't come, so she wouldn't stress over the "lost" time for the essay. She did, however, phone and had a long chat. After the call with Kim, Diane went to collect Zoe. She was able to have lunch with us, and we had a lovely few hours before taking her back in time for Ellie to return from Pete's.

The remainder of the afternoon was spent with our Kindles.

During the evening, we heard from Jane. Cousin Liz has just become a great-grandmother. Grandson Harry's wife, Eunyoung, has given birth to twin boys (in Seoul). What a lovely bit of news on which to end the day.
