On this day, my mum would have been 86. Today is also the 150th birthday of the State of Queensland. December 10 is a good date.
Alfred Nobel also died on this date, but he had read his obituary eight years earlier when a newspaper accidentally published his instead of his brother's. In it he was condemned for being the inventor of dynamite so he set about leaving a better legacy to be remembered for - hence the Nobel Prizes, awarded each December 10.
No, I go back to Meg, my Mum. Happy Birthday Mum, wherever you are. I'm sure you are happy knowing that your big boy is finally getting married - she had tried many times to marry me off.
