Mum being pretty

wiseheartSo, here is the pic with the brand new meringue hairdo:
Poor Mum, she had herself all prettied up for her 90th, and it seems we'll be the only ones to celebrate her birthday. The Covid situation is really bad over here, and the only family we still have contact with (Little Emma & Co.) are all unvaxxed. The adults have all gone through Covid, every single one of them, so they are protected to a certain extent, but no-one dares to come over and endanger Mum, which is understandable and responsible, especially as Theo (Little Emma's big brother) keeps bringing home germs from Kindergarten, where Omicron is happily breeding right now.
It still doesn't change the fact that there won't be any family to celebrate with Mum on her 90th. We'll have the fancy cake - for which I've actually baked the sponges today - all for ourselves. The plan is to prolong the family "party" (with about 6 guest on two different occasions, just in case) somewhen in March when the Omicron wave is supposed to ebb, but that isn't the same. I'm really sad about the whole thing.
Since I baked all afternoon and had other chores in the morning, not much else was done today. We had brunch around 11.30 and will have some early supper; that about took care of the cooking part.
