There’s something about special occasions that mean no matter how early you mark them in your calendar, they always creep up on you. Always.
Dentist appointments. Birthdays (both others and your own). Anniversaries. Mother’s Day. Especially Mother’s Day.

This year, I think I’ve found it well ahead of time – and in the most unlikely of places. My local Woolies.
