What I did today.

Hiding away on GN whilst the OG shouts at the telly! (Wales losing to N.Z....... obvious really!)
Gally and (((hugs)))
Annolooked at your pics and realised I could have come up on the train with Maniac..... hrmph! Look again at your pic with Granjura am I being funny or is one of you making a rude gesture????????

Only problem is that I could only get standing tickets and I hate standing these days. But I left it really late buying the tickets as I wasn't sure that I wanted to see them..then bought their new album which is very good [I love seeing them live but very rarely listen to their cd's] and wanted to see them again. Thankfully there's no support band to sit [I mean stand] through [I think] so, hopefully my knees will lock into position like a cows after a few minutes and the S.O. can prop me against a wall . [I might have got my facts wrong about the cow/knee thing]

Ooh, lucky you, crimson - they are fun

That sounds a good night Ariadne in spite of your slightly protesting knee and Theseus' hip.
I'm sure I would be ok with recumbent bikes ano if I could persuade myself over the threshold of a gym anytime soon! In the meantime the hydrotherapy pool at the local hospital is good exercise and the physiotherapist is determined that I'll be able to do more than I can at the moment with this shoulder, and so am I.

Just getting ready to go to a Bellowhead concert....

It's good to let your hair down, Ariadne. It's worth a little suffering in the aftermath.

Today I have been recovering from last night; you realise your age when it takes a whole day to recover from drinking and dancing the night (well most of it) away. Feeling better now....a bit, though the knee is protesting, as is Theseus' hip. Heigh ho! But it was a good night!

Sorry, Quilting, I will keep quiet about you-know-what. Shoulders are such awkward joints. Please don't take any more risks. Are you OK with the recumbent bikes?

Gally another difficult and painful hurdle overcome .
I've got the crate of beer ready for the bus on Tuesday !!

I've been with Daisy the Cat to the vet for her booster and yearly check-up.....my arms are bruised from 'encouraging' her into the pet carrier and I think the vet was rather taken aback by Daisy's rather spikey demeanour....but did take advantage of Daisy opening her mouth to take a chunk out of her hand, to pop in a worm pill.....thank god it's only once a year !

Please, pretty please, treadmills are not to be mentioned in my hearing, annodomimi!! I fell off one of those unmentionables in August and broke my shoulder as I was trying to get fit again after breaking my wrist in April! I will not be darkening the doors of the gym again any time soon.

Wish I was coming again, lots of for you Gally - you're a star.

Just been out for lunch with DD3 and her husband to celebrate the late Mr.G's birthday. Can't believe that a year has passed since we were celebrating his 70th. Only our wedding anniversary next saturday, Christmas, New Year and the dreaded date in January to get through and then hopefully a new year can begin.
I am looking forward to the Glasgow meeting on tuesday - especially the bus trip with Marelli - bit like a sunday school outing

Correction:
Sky Sports HAD an advertisement for breath freshener

Went to the gym (oh yes, I did!). There are four big TV screens (without sound) and while I was on the treadmill, as BBC 1 was showing a recipe for baked Camembert with roasted garlic, Sky Sports has an advertisement for breath freshener.
Now watching rugby with half an eye, wrapped up in my scarlet fleece PJs which make me look like an elderly Santa, without the beard - so far.

I've given up on my local M&S store. Queues far too long.

I had a look out of the window and saw the car apparently covered in condensation; took a closer look and found it was a sheet of ice. [brrrr emotican]

Well off to take GS1 to swimming lesson, he does not want to go so I think a little bribery maybe about to happen dont tell DD!

gosh annodomini i u sed to enjoy Brookie as I called it too, but think i gave u p watching it after the murder and body under the patio, that creepy bloke who abused his wife and wasnt there incest too?/ steamy story lines!!

Hope you soon lots better issthisallthereis I feel lot better and met my college friend in Colchester for lunch today we not met up of over year and silly really felt nervous, but had lovely time!
very tired now!
managed to treat myself to lovely top and skirt also, with 20% voucher from b on marche, feel looks good, but always worry to quote my estranged daughter about looking old ladyish, hey ho am getting on now!!
going chat to my dear husband now who just got my tea, bacon one egg and measure out oven chips, so still trying!! did have cake with my friend tho after lunch would have been rude not to!!

Went into town to return the jimjams I bought from M&S; usual size but don't fit me so, rather than try to slim into them before Christmas thought I'd take them back. As has been mentioned on another thread, huge queues in M&S...would have actually spent more money there today but wasn't prepared to stand in a queue of 20 plus people. Anyways, part way round town had a horrible feeling that I'd not put the car park sticker on the window so rushed back to the car in a total blind panic only to find that I had put it there. Yet another senior moment.It would have been sooo unfair if I'd had a parking fine because one of the reasons for going into town was to hand some money in to Oxfam that my son had raised in a charity run. Now off to bed [going to bed earlier and earlier these days]. But this is some sort of record, I think!

I never saw a single episode of Brookside, but I did get to hear a great deal about it from clients - and my boss, who lived in Liverpool at the time, was a great fan too.

I've never seen Brookside either, harri. In fact, I'm not sure I'd even heard of it before it was mentioned on here. Perhaps I had, but it didn't mean anything to me.

Today, between lessons, I popped to the loo and then thought I heard giggling; when I came downstairs two minutes later a friend had been in my house and left something for me on the dining room table. Good job I have nothing much that's worth stealing!

Harrigran your not the only one. I avoid soaps as I am hooked on Eastenders and can't/couldn't have coped with another one.

Isthis I feel like that about meeting up but I was quite envious when there was the Brum meet up so might venture forth if there is another one.

Hi Hummingbird there's another booking for December on the meetings thread, if you're able to join us next time

I agree, When. If you'd asked me, even a few months ago, I wouldn't have considered meeting up. But as time has gone on, I feel much more comfortable. As I've got to know people in the virtual world, I've become curious about the 'real' people behind the screen name, and meeting them face to face was lovely!
