Just checking the menu at La Tasca to see what I can eat without chewing sad whilst I watch you lot stuffing gorgeous meaty stuff! Don't have to chew wine anyway so no problem really

Enjoy your lovely lunch at La Tasca - feeling quite deprived at not being able to come with you, but needs must.

See you all on my return.

moomin Thu 06-Sept-12 11:20:04

We'll raise a glass to you GillieB!

GillieB Thu 06-Sept-12 13:53:01

Moomin - feeling even more deprived now as I think I would have had time to have joined you. I hope it all went well - do let us know how you got on when you get back.

When we met up in Glasgow, johanna, we almost forgot to order lunch, we were talking so much! grin

moomin Thu 06-Sept-12 19:46:21

Good to meet glass absent jane and harri and looking forward to meeting up again for the Edinburgh jaunt. We enjoyed a breezy but sunny lunchtime on the Quayside with plenty of wine and tapas! I even managed to find my way to the station on my own grin (can't go wrong really as it's well signed!!)

harrigran Thu 06-Sept-12 21:43:51

I assumed you were walking back with absent and glass you could have come with me and got a lift, DH had just been off to the wine merchants to stock up.

moomin Thu 06-Sept-12 22:24:52

No prob harri, the exercise did me good! I'm pleased you managed to link up eventually with DH smile

moomin pleased you managed to find your way back to the station its straight forward, about 30mins after you left I did wonder if you had arrived. I got home around 8pm shock and have yet to hear if absent got home!

I had a lovely afternoon I enjoyed meeting up with you all and look foward to Edinburgh, we were so busy chatting we didnt take any photos for the GN meeting photo collection. It was a breezy afternoon sat on the terrace of the Tapas restaurant but so nice to be out in the sunshine after such a miserable summer.

It was a lovely afternoon and it was great being able to meet the other grannies. Yes, I did get home safely but parted company with the mobile phone en route. As Mr absent usually has the phone and I only take it on rare occasions, he is very cross with me and I am in disgrace. blush

Butternut Fri 07-Sept-12 15:05:25

How nice to hear you all had such a sunny and sunshiny day. sunshine

soop Fri 07-Sept-12 15:16:17

absent Bless you. I'm delighted to hear that, in spite of losing your phone, your meeting-up went well. Look forward to the next getogether at Gally's place. smile

absentgrana Fri 07-Sept-12 15:21:59

soop I didn't lose it. I dropped it down a stone staircase and I thought it was completely smashed to bits so I threw it away. That's why I'm in disgrace.

soop Fri 07-Sept-12 15:31:58

absent...what are you like? wink

absentgrana Fri 07-Sept-12 15:35:27

soop Now I am contrite. At the time I was definitely tipsy.

soop Fri 07-Sept-12 15:39:05

absent...aren't we all from time to time. wink
