I haven't forgotten, although when there was a planned 'family event' (involving a hospitality suite at the F1 Grand Prix from memory) when I jogged your memory about your adoptive children, me and @DejaBrew you responded about wanting to have Mummy and Daddy time and we were excluded Maybe just an oversight or at worst selective memory, like when you mis-remember how things ended up in your bag, but that's ok. Possibly like Zoe Williams in her article.

I went to Ikea with my son – and was confronted with my parenting failures | Zoe Williams

The pre-university shop is the moment you find out how much domestic wisdom you’ve managed to impart. In my case, none, writes Zoe Williams

We forgive, but never forget

What can I say ?!? I’m a bad mother

Deja and Kooka - next years F1 is not even scheduled - you know that by now I would have bought your long overdue tickets … if I could. I will accept no Mothers Day gift May 2027.

I’ve recounted this story before, but this thread reminds me of the time my mother went to a hotel reception and asked for a pen and paper.

‘Are you a guest of the hotel madam?’

‘Certainly not’ she shot back…

‘I’m paying to stay here!’

Or when you front up to a restaurant.

"Do you have reservations?"

"Yes, but when you are as hungry as I am. I'll throw caution to the wind".

Ooh new challenges!

Oh dear. When you head to SIngapore on your next trip, could you give me and @DejaBrew a heads up, so we can start the Go-Fund-Me page to collect enough to cover your bail in Singapore. They are rather strict on that sort of thing. I don't think, "my parents/upbringing made me do it" will cut it there. But if you are held up and can't make the F1 in Melbourne next year, can we get to use your tickets?

Such a caring son — doubt I will even be lucky to get tickets for 27 given the mad scramble /member club ‘access’ and other barriers they are including. But thanks for offering to bail me out. You’re right my insurance has an exclusion for underweight (light) fingers…
