My Mum and Philip came over for lunch today. They've been staying down in Mum's old place in Kent for a few days to get some more sorting out done. They changed their estate agents too so hopefully it will be sold and gone soon. Their journey here must've been terrible - they got stuck in traffic on the M25 and were over 90 minutes late but they got here eventually and in much better spirits that I ever am after such a hold up!We took them over to Sazio's in Pinner for lunch. I really like the atmosphere and the food there, although it was very quiet this time.
I had a great time. It's great to see how happy and bouncy Mum is now - can hardly get a word in edgeways as she's so excited about all the things happening in her life.She gave me a very unexpected present: a digital camera (Nikon D40) that she bought back at the beginning of the year for her trip to Egypt (amongst other things). She said that she didn't think she'd use it now that her life has changed so much and she knows that I like taking photos. Not that I have done much recently but that's mostly cos I'm just too busy all the time. I'm sort of sad that she won't be using it as I know how excited she was when she bought it, but I suppose that when there are so many other new and fascinating things to concentrate on in your life then other things seem less important. And at least now I'll be able to take some decent pictures to put on here (once I get a data cable to transfer them over with).
