Update

Well... it has been a hell of a week and a bit!

• I have flown to Holland
  
• I went to the zoo with my mother (aren't we cute?!)
  

• Visited my brother and his kids and his girlfriend
• Went shopping daily (and therefore meet my son :-)) in my favourite supermarket
  
• Underwent a 90 minute massage donated by my friend (those are GOOD friends to have!)
• Watched masses of girlie movies
• Had nice long walks since the weather was fantastic - it felt like summer!
  
• Ate nice Dutch food like proper chips with fritessauce, kroketten and vlaflip
  
• Bought 1 kilo of drop
• HAD A HARD DISK CRASH (capitals because that was VERY scary!!!! My lappie kept on saying 'disk read error')
  
• Had the insight to press the 'access IBM' button while starting up and from all the icons I saw I thought 'diagnostics' sounded like a good start which thank God brought it back to life.
  
• Went to dinner with my dad, his wife and her daughter and partner (my stepsister who I hadn't met before, at least, not that I can remember)
• Did the 'anti stress arrangement' in the most fantastic spa I have ever seen and got a tan (well a red face really)
• Had a few drinks with my son, mum and my friend and closed the visit with a nice fulfilling shoarma with french fries (quite an event since I had been looking forward to that for quite some time.
• Flew back again
• Sent my dad a thank you note for taking me to the airport at sparrowfart and included the picture above.
• Got told off by return for doing so because 'that marriage is a closed story' and 'please do not send that kind of pictures again'.

Which was a very pissy end of an otherwise fantastic long week in my life. (Thinks... goodness you are 70, get over it, it is 23 years ago, it IS still my mother, you DID create me with HER, and I am on this picture too, but eh, he is 70 so I said 'ok, message received' )

Took it out on the garden. Have decided to suffocate the weeds since I can't win otherwise.

Luckily it is a lovely period, masses of sun and gardening is proving to be a very cleansing experience.

So why are these called bluebells?
