Random thoughts, comments, observations and general fluff from a random bint who left London at the end of September 2004 to embark on a new life and new adventures in Tokyo, land of the cute.... and is leaving mid-June 2010 - and counting!
One of my students was given some pink washing up gloves as a mothers day present from her 28 year old daughter. I said that, in England, that would be quite an insulting present (and explained why). But she was happy - they had small flowers on them.

British female who wishes she wasn't moving further and further away from 35. After nearly six years in an alternative universe (ie Tokyo) the real world started screaming at me to come back. And so I ended up in a surreal world in Libya, Qatar and finally now in the Emirates. For now. I drink lots of coffee, teach English and travel when I can... Join me.

In all fairness, perhaps she LIKES washing up? My mother is a chronic washer-upper and coming to think of it, perhaps SHE would like pink gloves with flowers on it. huuuumm, must swing by the store later!
Still, I find all Hallmark holidays pointless and would rather celebrate my mother/father/friend/PA/hunny all the time instead of cramping it in on one day and being a raging ass to them for the other 364.
