On Thursday @latimes announced it’s dropping “internment” to describe the mass incarceration of 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry during WWII.
Instead: incarceration, imprisonment, detention.

3. High tea: Go out for a traditional afternoon tea at a local tea house to enjoy tea, delicious treats and pastries. I think it’s such a lovely way to relax and enjoy each other’s company.
2. Spa Day: Some much-needed pampering is always a good choice! Let your mum relax and unwind with a massage, facial, or manicure.
1. Theatre Tickets: Treat your mum to a night at the theatre. Get tickets to a show that you know she’ll love and make a special night out of it. You can grab dinner before the show, or find a nearby bar for drinks afterwards.
Next week will be Mother's Day in the UK and if you’d rather do something a little bit more special for your mum than just give her a card and flowers 💐 or a gift, here are some fun activities you can do together:
