MOTHER'S DAY PRESENT

Today is mother's Day - most mothers receive flowers, chocolates etc - I received the best present though!

Simon is home for the weekend and of course came bearing presents, gratefully received. Later he disappeared and when I went looking for him I found him outside washing my car and was told that this was my extra present, I think that this must be the best and most unusual present I have received - yet!

ROMANCE IS NOT DEAD!

Geoffrey came back from the shops today with a present for me - a thermal vest! - and they say romance is dead!

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING

This year because of the present economic situation everyone is gloomy and the shops are not very busy but I have a special reason this year to be a little sad. As Simon is in Australia and moving from place to place I cannot send him a Christmas present. I know its silly and he is safe and still around but I'm sad I can't include him in my present giving.
