The answers to today's Strands, game #434, are FLOWERS BREAKFAST PARTY HUGS CARDS DRAWINGS SPANGRAM: MOTHERS DAY My rating: Easy My score: Perfect

I'm writing this from the UK, where we have Mother's Day earlier in the year, but it still didn't take me long to spot the theme here. Mostly that was because I found FLOWERS first, and coupled with the theme clue of 'Happy' it was rather obvious.

Finding the remaining words was more difficult. DRAWINGS, in particular, really surprised me until I remembered that children give their mothers
gifts on this day too, not just old geezers like me.

I'm pretty sure I've never made my mum BREAKFAST on MOTHER'S DAY either, but then again she only really eats porridge in the morning, and I don't think it really works in that regard. "Happy Mother's Day, mum here's a bowl of
warmed oats!" Nah, I think she'd prefer FLOWERS and HUGS.
