I want to die peacefully, in my sleep, like my grandfather, not screaming, terrified, like his passengers.

Good day to you all.  Mothers day today went well, mostly.  After a lie in, as the clocks had gone forwards by an hour, our son came in with the present he had made.  My daughter though was not in as good a mood as we would have liked.  She did improve, but rather than her making her mother one of her morning cups of tea, I did.  Things did improve as they day went on with a trip to Manningtree to have lunch at a restaurant we had been to before.  At present, it is one of the favourite restaurants of my wife, and it was worth booking it.  I almost had not booked it in time, but it did work out well.  A relaxed lunch was followed by a trip into town to shop and look at the new sculptures in Colchester and also, while my wife was enjoying the wares, the kids and I walked about town collecting Pokéballs and catching Pokémon.  But, she did not have to make any food, other than preparing the burgers which I had cooked, and a bit of shopping, which I had said I would do (honest).  I would love to post more, but it is late.  I think it is important to say at the end, that the kids were great though my daughter hated her red dress!

And here is something that might bring a smile to your face.

Trees Everywhere

A policeman pulls a car over on a lonely back road and approaches the blonde lady driver.

"Miss, is there a reason that you're weaving all over the road?"

The woman replied, "Oh, officer, thank goodness you're here! I almost had an accident! I looked up, and there was a tree right in front of me. I swerved to the left, and there was another tree in front of me. I swerved to the right, and there was another tree in front of me!"

Reaching through the side window to the rear view mirror, the officer replied, "Miss... that's your air freshener."
