............to create a quiet corner.

glass It just felt a bit "off" and itchy for about a week, then (on the weekend that DD2 brought her new fiance to meet us for the first time) it was really sore and streaming with tears. The ulcers were so small I could not see them, but they showed up with some special eyedrops. Took weeks to heal, and my sight was a bit blurred for quite a while after that. Cement is very alkaline, I think, which burns. Be careful, and watch your back too shovelling all day.

Here, I've made a big jug of hot toddy to save the trip back to the kitchen for more. What size glass would you like? There's everything from pint to small nip

I know neithered but not nithered, means flustered!
I'm in here for a quick break before my Dutch guest returns from the choir practice.
Please can I have fortified hot chocolate?
How nice to have my feet up!

Hello everyone. Nice to meet you all, I have just started posting tonight.

Hello, may I join in all, I need a drink. Have daughter and DGC here, and have been making a secret birthday cake for DGD and DH their birthdays are Monday and Tuesday. The rest of the family, his children and mine, are coming for lunch tomorrow. A pint of Hot Toddy would be lovely.

Hello joy welcome to the quiet corner, have a drink or a

Thank you, a large glass of dry white would go down very nicely thank you grannyeggs

Ha ha grannyeggs a pint of hot toddy hope the cakes are finished!!

Welcome to GN joy

So....who has been watching the X Factor? No? Sod it....let's have another glass of wine, or hot toddy for those of us with autumn bugs. Cream cake? Help yourselves. I'm saving some for Greatnan, Mishap and grannyactivist and anyone else feeling poorly. Cheers everyone!

I'm sorry I can't let you have some of my cake. It's pink on one half with a rather wonky ballet shoe, and blue on second half with a slightly battered sail. I love doing these things,but I would be chucked off The Great British Bake off. I'll try and save some for you all.

I meant sailing boat.

It'll be appreciated Grannyeggs! Even the Great British Bake Off makes spectacular wonky cakes!

Just going to squeeze into the corner with a large glass of Cava. Busy day, so it's great to just sit and chill. Nice to see everyone.

Hello Notso I've just had some pizzas delivered as supplies are running down. Quattro Formaggio and Peperoni. Help yourselves, everyone!

Mine's a mug of cocoa as I watch the end of Inspector Montalbano.... (no not his end... he seems to be keeping his clothes on tonight)

Changed my mind. Would love a glass of ANYTHING and some carbs... Need them. It very cold and dark down by the chucks but all safely tucked up for the night. Who's here?

Evenin all!
I've been watching the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra playing Carmina Burana (sp?).....flippin 'eck it was nearly as noisy as Gransnet seems to have been!
Anyway, is there any hot boozy chocolate left? I could just murder some of that cream cake too when
Mmmm nice to put my feet up [smile[

Hi nandb how about a large glass of claret and a slice of pizza? Or I have some chocolate eclairs and there's some potent hot toddy over there in the corner.
