Oh I have just sat down first time today, the family are all in the front room having a movie night. The DGC have been allowed to have a bath and then come back down (unheard off coming downstairs after their bath, mummy runs a strict routine), to watch a movie and have popcorn.........soooooooooo as I hate movies I have the luxury of a couple of hours peace smile I am sat with a glass of red mmmmmmm.

What are you all up to?

Yes. I agree. He had found love and lost it all too soon. sad

Last night's Montalbano was rather sad wasn't it? Just a thought. sad

I think it's very likely, Gally!! grin

Just caught up with last night. I invited a friend round to share my little pheasant. She came at 5 and left at 11 - we never stopped talking at all. She's nearly 80, just back from a week in NY with her daughters and plans to come with me next time I go to Sydney! Amazing. I hope I'm like her when I get to 80 wink

Sorry petallus, I'd not been attending to things and missed your post! Yes, it was 'Imagine', and it was a really good programme! I tried to concentrate on Montalbano, but was chatting/texting to Lurkio on my phone, so missed most of the plot - and because of the subtitles, you really do need to look at the screen. number, I think you'd like the programme - if you've not got catch-up you'll find it repeated on Tuesday at 12.25am! I'm going to watch it on Catch-up today. I don't mind having a double-dose of Montalbano! grin

Thanks Crimson.

Sicilian [?] detective series on 4; haven't got into it myself. Can't wait for the next [and last] series of The Killing, though.

Who IS this Montalbano person?

moomin Sat 20-Oct-12 23:20:23

My OH is away in France until tomorrow night, my DS2 and family + dog have come up to stay until tomorrow morning, so have had a lovely day with them. Introduced DS2 and DiL to Montalbano after GC in bed, not altogether sure what they thought of it - maybe an acquired taste wink

Off to bed now moon all

I am sitting in the study back to back with DH, suits me fine.

Sitting here in an old dressing gown next to Hubby who is watching football, I think I'll pretend I'm all dressed up and waiting for a taxi full of friends to take me to a nightclub. I'm just off now to imagine what I'm wearing (something rather striking without being obvious).

I've had DGD with her retinue all day! Daddy mended the two electric problems I had, while DD disapproved of the fact that DGD wanted granny to play with the iPad with her.
In the end since M was fractious and mummy was getting stressed, she played with M on the iPad.!

And could he possibly have better company than 'us lot'? wink

Staying In is the new Going Out!! Who needs pressure? grin

annodomini Sat 20-Oct-12 22:12:36

Daman, if you have to pretend to go out, it's even more sad than chatting on G'net. sad

glassortwo Sat 20-Oct-12 22:07:45

grin grin grin nag

Ana Sat 20-Oct-12 21:45:31

I thought Daman was joking - if he wasn't, he's a lot more lively than most 77 year old men! DH (73) is already looking forward to bedtime...(no, not for that reason!)

glassortwo Sat 20-Oct-12 21:33:04

where not were

glassortwo Sat 20-Oct-12 21:32:32

Always be happy were you are and it will all fall into place, if you need something else you need to go and find it.

johanna Sat 20-Oct-12 21:30:14

daman
Please always remember that LIFE is where YOU are at THAT moment.
And that means what you make of it.
Be it reading a book, baking a cake, looking after others, etc. etc.
Or even playing on Gransnet on a Saturday night.

Unless you are still very young; if you are , then may be you should go and play in Dahood.
