My mother is deceased so I was uninvolved with the festivities. But things happened anyway.
Anne came over on Friday with a firm request for Japanese food so we repaired to the Sunny Doll. I had omurice as I often do and Anne had three courses: Tempura vegetables, Gyoza and Yakitori lamb. I did "help" with all 3 of her courses. The restaurant is next door to Woolworths so we afterwards went looking for things we "needed" there. Anne put a packet of white tea -- whatever that might be -- into my shopping basket and we also got some Pancetta.
Then on Saturday morning we filled up my $8 Aldi thermos and went in the Toyota to Muzza's to get pies. I got steak, tomato and onion as I usually do and Anne ordered steak & mushroom. We then took pies and thermos to Orleigh Park for a breakfast beside the river. It was raining a bit but we found a shelter. Rather surprisingly, the thermos worked well enough. I once had a thermos that was actually made by Thermos! Can't remember what happened to it
On Saturday night the Pancetta came into its own. I used it as a base for some yummy sandwiches. I make a good sandwich so Anne chose that for supper.
Sunday morning was a bit different. Joe could not join me for breakfast as he was shouting his mother a breakfast. I suppose I could have come along but I thought they deserved some interrupted mother-son chats on mother's day. So I went into Stones Corner for breakfast instead. I had a Tandoori chicken bagel, which was good but surprisingly large. That night, however, Joe and I together dined at Guzman y Gomez -- on Burritos.
Then on Monday night I shouted another Nando's visit, with Jenny and Joe coming along but without Kate as she had to work late. Jenny and Joe had a lot of discussion about Joe's present search for a new job. She warned him about various pitfalls in job advertisements.
