happy mothers day

I've been worried abit about mothers and fathers day. Laura and I had a good cry yesterday, which sort of 'cleansed' us and opened us up for an evening with Matt & Sara. It's always good to see them.

This morning we woke up early and spent some time lazing around in bed, etc. Etc. is always a brilliant way to spend any morning!

Later on, really getting a start on the day, the door bell rang: david, with toni and zelda ... they were dropping off a mothers day card for laura enroute to the zoo. It was such a pleasure to see them, this, perhaps the last time we will see them before the arrival of the fish. Good luck guys.

Now, breakfast time. Mom and Joe arrived soon after the David gang left, what a glorious day: sunshine, flowers in full bloom and Laura's delicious breakfast. Chocolate chocolate chip waffles with raspberry syrup, mandarin orange slices, sharp cheese and some gorgeous fruit necture.

We spent the rest of the morning out in the backyard, soaking up the first bits of spring sunshine and talking about all of our various plans for garden and porchville ... it's a good day, shame I've had to bring that feeling with me to work, rather than keeping it with me at home.

I guess that I shouldn't complain. A good day is a good day.
