Hi Mom

adrian_turtle reminded me it's Mother's Day, so I called my mother. She, like me, had forgotten the holiday--I told her she'd been living in England too long. We had a nice chat, and she said I'd made her day.

She's looking into tickets for a trip to the U.S. in mid- to late June, centered on the 50th anniversary party of some very old and close friends of hers, close enough that she is not only invited to this family party, but will be going up to Geneva to stay with the anniversary couple afterwards.

Adrian and I had callunav and her partner juliansinger over for tea yesterday: I made apple spice cakelings (we were out of vanilla extract, so I used extra ginger and added some cardamom), Adrian made chocolate orange brownies, and we drank lots of tea, then went to a nearby Japanese restaurant for supper.

It's mostly been a good weekend for sitting inside and talking; right now Adrian is on the phone with her mother, and I'm going to post this and go back to my book.
