mother's day

... is the first Sunday in May, see my mum
with the beautiful flowers, and that she's
doing fine.
Yesterday (5th) was my dad's
memorial get together in the Mariott Hotel
which used to be the Intercontinental.
It was really well done, with pictures of
my dad's life and achievements and lots of
speeches, all about that and about what a decent
and human-centred person he was, with his style,
sayings, jokes, the help he gave when it was needed
etc - lots of tears
choked back by the contributors,
Jutka did very well
indeed. The big ball-room was full of people, even though
we had also lots of apologies from people who couldn't make it.
there will be pictures...
