[Sundae]

Have you ever felt like something quite inconsequential is breaking your heart, even though the only thing which has ever touched your heart has been a stimulant because the stomach is the powerhouse of emotions?

Just me then.

Mum's friend is not coming round for dinner.
She (Mum) deliberately did not tell me that. Not out of malice, just that she didn't want to disappoint me.

Hmmm. That way, farce lies.
I can picture her nipping in and out of the patio windows in a wig pretending to be Maureen...

Sorry, that has really lifted my spirits as I'm laughing at my own imagination now.

But I am mourning the fact I am cooking a gorgeous meal for two people. And the meal I planned would have been different if I'da known that. Because it was originally for five.
The main reason for cooking is to allow Mum time to sit and chat. Which she doesn't want to do with Dad.

Still, almost nothing was bought new; it's all about eating from the freezer.
Just sad that a real, proper, slap-up roast meal won't be more of an occasion.
