100 Days of Happiness - Day 20

I've been having a very lovely time at my parents - though I have NO idea how to get through to my Dad about taking some care over things. He keeps doing ridiculous stupid stuff - like this morning, our clocks went forward one hour, so he climbed on a chair in the kitchen to get the wall clock down and alter it. Fecking stupid on two counts a) it's a wireless clock that changes itself automatically and b) he's barely able to walk, completely unsteady on two feet and surprise surprise, he fell off the bloody chair. Luckily he was just bruised. Fecking idjt.
So happy photo of the day #1 - my Pa in his natural element, sitting in an arm chair in the conservatory, reading the paper and happily not in hospital again.

Happy pic #2 for today is my Mum in HER natural element, her garden - which is just starting to bloom and will soon be looking fan-bloody-tastic. I have no idea how she gets it looking so good, or grows all the vegetables she does when the only help she gets is a friendly neighbour mowing her lawn for her. She does everything else herself and she'll be 80 this year. Guess who I take after? Yup. My Dad. (Though hopefully I'll be less prone to falling on my head when I'm his age).

That little pond is teeming with tadpoles!
It was Mother's Day today, so I was also very happy that the sun shone all day, it got quite warm, and we have a very nice meal at the Peach Tree restaurant down the road by Brother Cadfael's Abbey. So I think my Mum had a nice day too.
I am travelling back home tomorrow with a break in the journey for a work meeting in London, which is a bit less than exciting.
