I have just done loads of housework and it feels so nice to be in a clean and tidy house 
This weather is getting me down. Is it May or March?

I was looking for a forum on which to put only good news as I have had a nice bit of news today myself. However, I couldn't find one so here it is. No grousing, no disasters, just good news. Oh yes - my good news concerns my DiL who has today been interviewed for and been successful in getting a new job as assistant head teacher of a highly successful comprehensive school. She deserves it - she has a brilliant track record in her present school both as a subject teacher and as a manager. When I spoke to her, she was deservedly enjoying

The council haven't planted a tree on my land.
LullyDully Nor on mine! 
It's also nearly time to go home. The end of another week at work.
Elegran Will you be watching?
anno An interesting looking parcel and three cards were delivered today. An email ended with...speak to you on Mumday. Nice!
I'm off to brew a pot of tea and open the Scottish shortbread biscuits.
Come on Scotland! You can do it!
Flower of Scotland, when will we see your likes again... etc etc
I've uploaded pic of Torben's first cake. His mummy weighed the ingredients. He did the rest. Yoghurt and date. She tells me that he's watching it as it cools.
That looks rather good, soop!
(BTW just looking at Rory's pics again - I've never noticed before what dainty feet he has!)
Ana His feet are rather pretty. He's also very strong. He now knows, that if he barges into the kitchen door at full speed - it opens.
An amusing little story to tell you.
Rory has taken to making weird, strangled whinges at around six in the morning. I pretend not to hear him. After a good deal of padding around and nudging disturbing Mr soop, he managed to get a very early breakfast. After which, he continued to be "bothersome." Mr soop asked him [the cat] do you want to go outside? The cat stared at Mr soop and wouldn't budge an inch. Mr soop coaxed cat outside with a gentle shove - using the floppy end of the mop. Cat sat outside and continued to protest [loudly]. Mr soop relented. It was beginning to rain. Mr soop called cat back indoors, after which, he proceeded to dry his damp fur with kitchen towel. At 6:30 cat settles down and Mr soop tries to get back to sleep. 
How strange! I wonder what it was he really wanted? 
(Apart from an early breakfast, of course...)
Made an insurance claim for a lost antique ring and the people dealing with it are really nice and helpful. They have given me some suggestions for antique jewellers who might have something suitable and been very fair about the valuation. Isn't it good to be able to say something nice about an insurance claim?
My good news is that my little granddaughter, who is now seven months old, is thriving. She was a poorly wee thing for months, suffering badly from acid reflux which caused her to be constantly sick and in pain. The medication she was eventually given has done the trick, she's a different child now, happy, healthy, and positively glowing
That's good to hear Baubles 
Poor little thing, that must have been very unpleasant for her.
