Respite from the hot weather conditions of late

The weather has been very hot and humid everyday and it is most annoying to go out into the sun. Despite the weather, respite is in the form of visiting all those nice and lovely cafes which were aplenty around my neighbourhood. All of the cafes serve nice coffee and food, but my favourite will still be hot mocha on any given day. Secret recipe outlet serves tea time set where you buy a slice of cake and pay only for the coffee! Now that really is value for your money.

Mom's Birthday

Last February, my mom celebrated her 73th birthday. She does not want a grandeur party or anything elaborate, so it was a quiet affair among family members, I was unable to attend because of other commitment, but my sister Josie and sister in-law Marilyn filled in the details for me via Whats-app. They had home cooked food, which were delicious and the item I love most, were those lovely birthday eggs dyed a nice red with edible dye. My mom is a strong lady, at her age, she still pondered around the garden tending to the plants and invasive weeds. When we were young, mom used to sew all of our clothes. I remembered very well all those lovely dresses that she sewed me. She even made blankets and cardigans for us. I love you mom and we all wish you many more birthdays to come.
