Last weekend we celebrated Mother's Day again. Debbie was truly spoiled, with a bacon and egg breakfast in bed and a good half hour or so reading a book and listening to Aled on the radio, while Ben and Daddy played downstairs. Then we headed off to Debbie's parents for a lovely day with them - including a trip to the park. Ben was very excited by the giant abacus there - after a miserable week of sickness, this was the happiest we had seen him in days. However, it was to be shortlived. Strangely reminiscent of last Mother's Day, Ben took the opportunity to fall ill again later that afternoon, and by the time we arrived home had a fever, which lasted for another couple of days. We hope it's not going to be an annual occurence!

Ok Mark, two things: 1) a half-hour reading does not count toward 'spoiling' your wife (only if it includes a foot massage and a box of chocolates within reach), and 2) are you encouraging the abacus thing, you accountant you?
Happy Mothers Day, Debbie!
Aw, poor Ben, I'm glad he's feeling better again now.
Thanks Aunty Lucy! (He did get better, but now he's got another cough / cold and is teething. It never stops!)
