What I did today.

gracesmum

cimson Your name has never been more apt!

I am so chuffed!

We live in the middle of a largish, busy village but everyday for the past week we have had two nuthatches visit our bird feeders.

Lovely birds, aren't they kitty?

gracesmum - good and positive news. It's been a hard few days for you xx

crimson - I hope no-one thought your 'waters had broke', as they say round these parts

..and Gally, you'll never become invisible, you're far too bubbly for that!

gracesmum - Good news...keep smiling.

crimson - Oops! What are you like...

Smoluski ...Nellie dear, you continue to be in my thoughts. I hope that you'll return to us very soon. We miss you.

Good news Gracesmum, may he continue to improve.

Crimson. I can just imagine scene

Can you get jet lag on a flight back from Edinburgh?
Arrived back late last night from a wonderful weekend, my first visit to Scotland.
Meeting up with Gally, Marelli & Elegran was wonderful! Thank you all so much for a perfect ending to my Edinburgh weekend. Being waved off as I was driven away on the airport bus was quite emotional ..... bless you all!
I've posted the recipe we discussed for Orange Liqueur, it's under Christmas Recipes.
Why doesn't Gransnet have a section for home made hooch recipes?
I'm still away from home for a few more days, with only sporadic internet access, but am off now to have a GN browse and catch up

Notso............for meeting some special people! I feel as though I have known some members for years, even though we have never met.

Notso, you made our day very special, believe me! And Greatnan...maybe one day.....and, like you, I feel as if I've known some members for ages, too. Such is the power of Gransnet!

Spent the day in Addenbrookes Hospital as mum had another stroke this morning. When I first saw her I thought, This is it! Within a few hours, however she was rallying and getting movement back in her left arm which was badly affected. Her speech is still slurred but the drooping has improved. When I left her she was comfortable but very tired so I will go back in the morning and hopefully be given some more information. She's 94 so who knows which way things will go? Can't just give up on people though can you?

What a strong constitution your mother must have, merlotgran. And she knows you'll be there, regardless.

I'm being very generous with the tonight.Think you deserve one now merlotgran

Thanks, Marelli and Grannylin. I have had a couple of to unwind. Feeling more human now.

Hope you manage to get some sleep (the will help!)

merlot - my thoughts are with you.

Merlot and and hope tomorrow brings good news

Goodnight all and specially to you, merlot. Hope your mum continues to show improvement.

What a woman your mother is, merlot. Hope you find her much better again this morning.
