Driftwood

After giving my mum her present (two driftwood candle holders) we spent a lazy hour sitting in the big bed playing with the cats and eating the chocolates that my dad gave her.

When they left for church I double-knotted my apron and set to work in the kitchen making the roast. The sun flooded through the windows and I actually sung along to the radio while I cooked!

I think the food went down well, apart from the veggies which were, according to my grandmother, underdone...but I'm inclined to blame her teeth because everyone else said they were okay!

I had a whispered midnight phonecall from my best friend, who said things that I needed to hear, if only I'd been able to listen properly. I understood the words but only understood the meaning when I had the time to mull it over... Such is life. I'll get there eventually!
