Well this is depressing
Home for the weekend. Bought my parents a card, some flowers and a red velvet cake because I think a 42nd wedding anniversary should be marked in some way, and also now that I have a bit of money coming in, I like to do nice things for people.
My father smiled and said "you shouldn't waste your money". But I know he was pleased. My mother loved the flowers and said I always was a sweet and thoughtful child. She gave me an awkward hug and said "you are so like your father. He was just about your age when he started getting the same frown lines as well!" To which my dad replied "well, it was probably due to stress and worry".
I may be about the same age as Nicole Scherzinger but unfortunately I don't have her lifestyle.
I'm off to drink camomile tea and slather myself in some sort of face cream...and try not to cry
