Another what I did today thread

Have had a really lovely day at Howletts zoo with three of the four GC and DD1. The weather was beautiful, slightly chilly, but beautiful warm sun. There were two baby tigers who were so sweet but I still love the gorillas best. Am very pleased with myself as, only being out of plaster for a short while, following repair of Achilles tendon, I walked round with no problem at all. Feel I am back to normal (whatever normal may be ;)) Now back home having a nice cuppa.

soop, hope you hear from Mr Soop very soon after you get home

We had a lovely time! I drove through Argyll admiring the hoar frost and ice on the sea loch beaches and the ice on the sea and freshwater lochs, snow (some) on the mountains and more hoar frost on the trees in the shadowed valleys. Beautiful, beautiful Scotland, all within an hour or so of where I live . And then soop and I chatted non-stop for two and a half hours+. We got someone in the pub (gran since last November we discovered; join gransnet, we said!) to take some photos, which I will upload anon when Minibags gets off Katie (the desk computer). The sea ice had still not melted even by mid-afternoon, with the tide in and out, so I guess the sea water is COLD in the shallow parts. But it was the most beautiful to look at and lovely to remember day. Cheers! for gransnet friendships .

Very exciting news Bags - congratulations to you all! May this new little babe bring much happiness.

Congratulations Bags. Enjoy.

Have a good time both of you

Take care ga - there is always something to worry about, isn't there?

Welcome to Howard Hugh! And well done ga!

Here I am, downstairs with my two small DGSs. Heard them outside my bedroom door "Where's Nannie? You go in and get her!" "No, you go." etc. so, of course.... All my GC know I'm an early riser but these two beat me to it! It's nice to give their parents a bit of a lie in; such a rare thing when you have small children. And I don't see CBeebies much these days.

Today I survived. No skin left on my teeth, so can't deal with anything else for a day or two! Aargh!

Well, bed for me!
I'm only working tomorrow pm, which means I can have the lie in I missed with DD and DGD visiting at the weekend!
Still wouldn't have missed it for everything.
Night all!

Bags congratulations and welcome to Howard Hugh. Bet mini bags is thrilled to be an aunty again. Lovely that you were both at hand to share in those first precious hours/days.

Lovely bright day today but not as warm as it looked through the window. GD wanted to walk along the beach ... fine. When it came to leave the house she picked up baby doll, change bag, feeding bottle and spare clothes and asked for the buggy. Guess who ended up pushing the buggy along the beach while she played ?

Congratulations Bags great news

Congratulations Bags

Hasn't jingle posted? Is she ok? Or have I just missed her!

Congratulations Bags

It's been a glorious sunny but cold day here in Cheshire. I spent a lovely afternoon walking with my four year old DGD. I am lucky to live a few 100 yards away from an ancient peat bog, known locally as The Moss. It was DGD first visit and she was both enchanted and excited by walking around the paths open to the public looking for Jenny Greenteeth and Nellie Longarms, we had quite an adventure Meanwhile. DH pottered around the garden and kept an eye on 18 month old DGS who slept like a log in his stroller.

Congratulations Bags, wondered where you'd been the last few days
Soop hope all goes well for mrsoop

Welcome to the world, Howard Hugh, and to Gransnet!
