I woke up to such a lovely surprise! An email from Perth wishing me a Happy Mothers Day - which would be the very first time since my kid was carefully coached by my Mum into that duty as a teeny... I am assuming that means at last she is understanding the mothering thing. Or maybe she has forgiven me for all my crimes against child. It is such a fraught relationship mother/daughter, specially undiluted by siblings.
They have all had covid, my daughter has four jabs and had access to the best antivirals because of her MS and so her covid was mild, but she and the two youngsters are still isolating, as is her husband away at a mining camp also going through a positive test, doing it on his own. The challenges of being a young family with all those dreams and responsibilities, makes my small quiet life look so much easier in comparison.
I do envy them their pool though. But not the climate that makes that a necessity, rather than a luxury...
