Mother's Day
I can never remember when it is, it's not a real occasion, it's starting to become commercialised despite not being a proper occasion, Father's Day is largely ignored.

Plus it's close to my mum's birthday, so for some reason she thinks she should be entitled to two cards that I haven't put any thought into, rather than just one.

It's the opposite in Spain
Father's day is a bank holiday, but mother's day is always on a Sunday, which I find terribly unfair.

Pretty sure every day is a bank holiday in Spain
I've lost count of the number of times I've wandered into work this year to find it's a holiday.

And still, they're not enough
You're having a long bank holiday (bridge) coming soon.

When's that then?
Google calender is meant to notify me of Spanish holidays, but it never does.
