May I have fruit tea please? I don't drink 'real' tea and it is too late in the day for coffee. No shortbread thanks, trying to lose weight.

I lay awake in the early hours and thought about the pleasant times I've spent in the Quiet Corner. For whatever reason, I spread my wings and have tried to be more adventurous by dipping into very different threads. From hereon, I hope to visit this corner regularly. Just now, I'm feeling calm inside.
It will be so good to have Gally back.
Nansdogsbody ...respect! You really are a champ.
Safe travels Anno. Bet you've had fun-times with Greatnan

It's very blustery in Kintyre. There are big white-topped waves on the sea.

My friend reported seeing the wee feral ginger kitten [the same that a passing motorist spotted on Sunday.] She thinks that it must be about 2 months old. Rory is out again. It wouldn't surprise me, to see him with the kitten - in our garden - sometime soon. hmm

Morning all. Well done opening the window and reminding us that this quiet place is here, a retreat from the quarrels which seem to be going on at the moment.

Marelli yes, that was a good idea and great timing. Have a fabulous time today, and hello to all anonymous Gransnetters who are lurking. Come on in - you don't have to go in at the deep end (I hesitate to recommend the 'shallow' end - you know what I mean) grin

Marelli Tue 11-Sept-12 08:59:45

What a good idea it was of Ella's to open the window and let some fresh air in - just what the doctor ordered! Today, I'll be meeting Grandmanorm for coffee! My 'lurking' GN friend will also be coming (trying to get her to post something)!
Gally have a a safe journey home - it'll be lovely to see you again!
Annodomini - what a lovely time you'll have had! Safe journey to you,too.

Morning everyone. Today I've got two 2-year olds and a 15 month old to look after. Happy days! grin hmm

Morning everyone. Pouring down here but I have just been for a walk with the dog, and the air is so fresh and clean that it didn't matter that we got wet through. Today, my daughter and I are taking the girlies for their develomental check-up. Can't beleve they will be one next month. Yesterday, we had a lovely spending spree on baby clothes and birthday presents. They laughed and babbled all the way round the shopping centre. Great fun! grin

Ella46 Tue 11-Sept-12 07:23:53

Safe journey, gally flowers

Gally Mon 10-Sept-12 23:57:31

Thank you - I shall look forward to being back on the same time as you! I leave here tomorrow (wednesday) at your 5 am so back at Heathrow early on thursday morning - I hear rain is on the cards - there's a surprise grin Mixed emotions; I have just been having a wonderful cuddle with Harriet who was gurgling and laughing at the tears running down my face. She is the most beautiful baby and of course I will miss the others too (but not the constant shouting and tantruming hmm).
Anno and Great it sounds as if you've had a wonderful time together - safe flight home

whenim64 Mon 10-Sept-12 23:40:41

Have a safe journey home Anno. Sounds like you have both had a great week together smile

Greatnan Mon 10-Sept-12 23:23:26

We look forward to having you back, Gally.
Anno is leaving here tomorrow - we have had a splendid week and the weather has been wonderful. I will miss her company.

whenim64 Mon 10-Sept-12 23:21:31

Actually....do you think I could have just a small red wine too, please? grin

whenim64 Mon 10-Sept-12 23:19:56

Hi Gally have a safe journey back smile

Yes, Ella some fresh air to blow the cobwebs away is just what is needed. I'll have a lovely cup of brew thanks! smile

Grannylin Mon 10-Sept-12 23:06:23

Hi Gally.When are you heading back?

harrigran Mon 10-Sept-12 22:55:10

Good morning Gally smile

Gally Mon 10-Sept-12 22:53:29

Good morning Ella and Crimson, I may just join you for some time out before starting my packing ready for the trip home. I have been trying to keep up with recent threads, but to be quite honest, I am becoming more and more confused, nay flummoxed - nothing unusual there, some may say - so have given up trying. Tomorrow's another day ........... smile

Grannylin Mon 10-Sept-12 22:53:00

Ah , that's better, I'll have a large wine AND a large cupcake.Never do anything by halves!

crimson Mon 10-Sept-12 22:30:28

Perhaps there's a post Olympic sadness hanging over us?

Ella46 Mon 10-Sept-12 22:27:33

I thought I'd open the window in here and let some fresh air in,so that we can sit down with a nice brew and cupcake or if you prefer, a large wine.
It seems a little fraught out there on the forum lately, so our quiet corner is here if needed.

Welcome all friends smile sunshine

no boobs, he tends to get more womanly around the hips when he expands bless him. But no way could he get his prop-forward-type legs into my pants!
