Mother’s Day

It wasn’t supposed t’ be a lunatic weekend - and 

with Karma o’ good grace didn’t end up that way; 

we’d managed t’ survive th’ passing-on of th’ old 

Whirlpool dishwashing machine; it was on its last 

legs Friday, yet, with style, a replacement Dishlex 

was chosen, bought & installed on Saturday, and 

there weren’t any dramas; then Sunday, Mother’s 

Day, it was off t’ Brisbane for a morning tea party 

Needless t’ say the grandchildren made it a prize 

occasion, their behaviour amazing despite ample 

opportunity to be diffident or just run crazy in the 

Park; I guess they too understood a wee bit of th’ 

Mother’s Day theme, harkened to th’ gaiety of all 

the erudite patrons at Park Cafe, & played it cool
