As time is galloping on could you please add your name to the thread if you are coming to gally's on the 3rd of October. Then we can talk about the catering once we have established who is coming. smile

Still no joy with ongoing attempts to upload pics. Really must drag myself away from you lot and knuckle down to proper jobs. hmm

Gally Sat 06-Oct-12 15:43:36

I've been trying again - still no luck - angry
I think Geraldine should put up a special page of photos of our various meetings, to make up for it grin

Noted, Gally!
Great to hear everyone had such a good time, despite frustrations with pics.

soop Sat 06-Oct-12 17:29:06

Have attempted to upload GN group photo several times throughout the day. Sorry - but unsuccessful. Almost time to read paper, feed Rory and kitten and mother cat, after which, it will be the Saturday evening gin and tonic treat.
Until tomorrow, a peaceful evening to you all. smile moon

Soop moon - and enjoy your G&T.

By the way - lemon or lime?

baubles Sat 06-Oct-12 17:53:10

Oh soop I can imagine how irritated and frustrated you must have been. Thanks again for sending them to me. Goodnight to you moon

soop Sun 07-Oct-12 12:39:15

Butter...lime for me! smile
I love you lot ...so I'm back to try to get the better of the Oops message.
Don't forget, I can still send the pic as an attachment. Will need you to PM your email address. Simples!

A perfect autumn day in Kintyre. Gorgeous warm colours glow in the sunlight. Rory off on meanderings [for want of another word!]

soop Sun 07-Oct-12 12:55:00

Celia GNHQ...Please, please, please will you get the photo page sorted. I'm beginning to feel a tad miffed with the Oops message! hmm

soop Sun 07-Oct-12 17:36:37

Well, a further few hours worth of hopefulness down the Swanee! Have tried and tried and tried to upload our pics. Throwing in the towel and signing off. sad A pleasant Sunday evening to you lot smile moon

It is not good enough. We need to know what the Scottish grannies got up to. Censorship is not going to work. hmm

Gally Mon 08-Oct-12 07:54:53

EUREKA! THERE IS SOMEONE LISTENING AT GNHQ. grin I have finally managed to upload a photo of the Edinburgh meeting. Your turn now soop

glassortwo Mon 08-Oct-12 07:57:01

Well done gally smile

Gally Mon 08-Oct-12 08:00:42

...trouble is, you need a pair of binoculars to see us hmm

glassortwo Mon 08-Oct-12 08:02:56

I wish you could expand the photos like you can on an IPad.

Marelli Mon 08-Oct-12 12:32:06

I'm going to have a go now, as well!!

Marelli Mon 08-Oct-12 12:47:04

I was doing fine (well, not that great, because I uploaded 2 of the same photo!) and thought I was on a roll with it, then 'OOPs' popped up again - Yarrrgh!! Although I do suppose lots of the photos will be the same anyway! But I did get a lovely one with moomin behind some flowers!

whenim64 Mon 08-Oct-12 12:56:54

Oh, those photos are lovely Marelli! I'm starting to recognise a few people now. Are there any photos with names next to them? smile

There was a photo of me, Bags and anno taken earlier this year, but I didn't see it as anno had problems uploading, too. anno if you want to send it to me, it might upload on to my profile.

Marelli Mon 08-Oct-12 13:05:21

I'm not very good at putting the photos up, and I did put the names on, but must've done it in the wrong order, so they didn't come up! I'll try again!

Ella46 Mon 08-Oct-12 13:13:39

You can make the photos that you upload HUGE, it gives instructions after the pic appears.

Ella46 Mon 08-Oct-12 13:19:35

Just uploaded a picture of dgd and it all worked well.

Granny23 Mon 08-Oct-12 13:23:56

When Marelli's double posted photo of the three GNs at a table features, from left, Marsco, me (Granny23) and Glassortwo. So Good she showed it twice - Thanks Marelli smile

whenim64 Mon 08-Oct-12 13:28:34

....and lovely photos they are, too, Granny23. Thanks! smile

soop Mon 08-Oct-12 14:26:26

sunshine grin flowers

Accompanied Mr soop to visit the surgeon ref his double hernia. Sat for ages in a small waiting room with a ghetto blaster high on a shelf. It was playing that tune we know so well...it goes thump, thum, thum, Yay, Yatty Yay! I twiddled a knob [hoping to find an etude by Chopin] and managed to tune into a foriegn station...possibly Arabic...no one seemed to know the difference. wink

PHOTOS are now uploaded. As Mr soop was with us for a very short time [at the start of our do] we're all looking terribly respectable...believe you me, it got a whole lot rowdier as the afternoon slipped away!!!

Thanks again to all of you who made it such a special occasion. Thanks again to Gally for being the hostess with the mostest.

absentgrana Mon 08-Oct-12 15:00:10

About time – but you all still look so well behaved. It's obviously a good thing that I couldn't make the trip or I would have led you all astray. What astonishingly lovely women you all are.

Marelli Mon 08-Oct-12 15:12:30

I've got the photos up, and now I can't get all the names etc against them! What am I doing wrong? I've got them all in order, and have typed the descriptions against them, but the descriptions are not showing up confused.
