Betty comes to Belfast!

Today my mom arrived for her third visit since I moved here. I drove to Dublin and collected her. I got to Dublin and back without getting lost, which is no mean feat because the M1 becomes the A1 then the N1 then the M1. There’s an exit off the M1 and you are offered a choice of the A1 to Lisburn or the A1 to Sprucefield. Last time I guessed this wrong and this time I guessed it right. There’s a series of roundabouts and not all of them make it clear which is the correct route to continue to Dublin.
There’s a long list of things I wanted to get done before she got here but the travel to London and finishing the first photo gallery sucked up all my time. I was up vacuuming early this morning, making the bed, dusting, arranging flowers--various last minute touches that covered the basics.
