I'd a fun weekend. I caught up with two old friends on Friday night, and then ran a dinner party on Saturday with more old friends. One of the nicest things about being back in the place I grew up is seeing old friends. Sunday I made a meal for my mum and, together with my sister, we went to the movies.
I decided to get W a Mother's Day card, which I accompanied with a small box of chocolates and a bottle of nice wine. I do think W's a good mother and I'm sure D2 loves her support etc & I would like to mark it. I've less than zero expectations about this for me; but it's something I want to do anyway. After placing these in D2's bag, I didn't think about it (given all the social activities :)). Anyway, I got a text on Sunday evening from W that said "Thanks for the Mother's Day present from D2. Really nice." I was VERY happy with this as it is the first positive message I've had from W in a long time. Anyway, just wanted to share the positivity!
I've D2 this weekend, and the following weekend I'll be in Australia (going there for work so I decided to stay over the weekend). I/We lived in Sydney for a few years, so it will be good to catch-up with it.
