It would have been my mother's birthday today so Happy Birthday, Mum. We will celebrate with a Greek meal from Dishpatch and a glass, or several, of wine, which I'm sure she would approve of

The Greek meal was absolutely delicious and I am still full.
I did wonder if I'd been a bit rash going out without a coat but it looked so nice I decided to risk it. Taking a coat to the hairdresser is a bit of a palaver these days as at one point they thought it was better for us to put our coats in bags rather than touch other people's coats hanging up. I think they have relaxed a bit about that now but it still seemed easier without a coat rather than taking a large bag just in case I needed to stuff my coat in it.
The weather is forecast to cooperate for the weekend but whether it actually will do so is another matter :) We've had such a cold spring that any hint of warmth seems like a heatwave.
We had a tire swing in the backyard and down the street, there was a family with a small cliff in the backyard where we could pull up the tire swing and jump off. Kids are nuts.
Longest drive was New Jersey to Florida in one day - 22 hours. I HATED that drive.
It really does seem to be a lovely weekend - at last!
I always envied the friend from up the road who had a swing in her garden. When I was a child it seemed to be such a big garden- then a few years ago the outer wall was knocked down and I realised it was really only a narrow strip disappearing into a point. It was probably not even as big as the garden we had at the time - but having a tree and a swing seemed very Enid Blyton to me!
Until I was 10 we lived in a flat with a communal garden where there was actually quite a lot of room to play but no swing so I envied a friend that had one. By the time we had our own garden I suspect I was considered too old for a swing though I would still have liked one!
The weather can't have realised it's a Bank Holiday weekend :)

I'm horrified these days by some of the risky things we did as kids.
