Today is (was) Mother's Day and Tomono got breakfast in bed consisting of most of her favourite things. The main present was a very nice bunch of flowers purchased at not inconsiderable expense. Cut flowers are pretty expensive here, whereas garden plants are incredibly cheap. But I made a major mistake as this particular bunch of flowers is intended for offering only at gravesides. Luckily we have a shrine dedicated pretty much to her mother's memory here in the house. So the flowers went to her mother and loss of face was avoided and the gift gratefully accepted.
