Mum's place

I surprised Mum by turning up at her place this afternoon.  She seemed pretty  chuffed to see me and it was lovely to see her too.  When I arrived she was sitting in the owners lounge having tea and biscuits with a group of her neighbours in the flats.

Unfortunately, she over-exerted herself on Friday by sweeping away the leaves that had been blown by the gardener.  Sure, he cleared the car park, but sent the leaves swirling all over Mum's motorised scooter.  Even under its cover, there were leaves everywhere - including inside the basket!  Being a particular soul, she set to with a stiff broom and cleared the area (and scooter) but nearly did herself a mischief in doing so.  At nearly 90, with a dodgy heart, she shouldn't be doing such things.  Needless to say, she ended up spending most of Saturday in bed! 

It was good to see her and even better that I could whizz over there in just under 30 minutes.  Mind you, heading home, I popped my car into Go-Kart mode, playing Robert Miles, grinning like Charlize Theron in The (new) Italian Job.
