The Southerlies didn't keep their promises, so it was a dry but chilly day. I didn't get breakfast in bed, but refused to get out until the house thermostat went from 5 degrees to at least 7. I got a lovely wee book from Meg with quotes about mothers and a home made card from Finn. And Spook bought me the hat from the second hand box in the town shop that I really wanted. Then, when it was warm enough, I made everyone breakfast, made the dinner ahead, and after a drive out to get a closer look at Mt Burke made toasties for the kids who then wanted more toasties. Josh came round and I went for a run with Johns mum. Then we had tea and watched the video of my choice. It was about relationships falling apart - you could see realities in the womens performances and the mens and it did make one wonder why we ever get together in the first place. It did not make for happy mothers day viewing and Spook and Josh kindly sat through the whole thing without complaint. Meg noted that it was not uncommon for me to choose a duff movie and that next years gift should be that Spook choose it.
