Good Morning Saturday

X

Yes, Nonu that it how we feel about selling our piano. The three local children are very musical. They play a variety of instruments and often entertain the villagers at gatherings in the community centre. We left two of them alone [so as not to cramp their style] and we listened to some lovely duets from another room.

I wish you well with the hospital appointment .x

Lovely and sunny here , been out in the garden all morning with mr N.

Your story of the piano reminds me that when we moved here the piano we had at the old house was surplus . So we decided to sell , the people who bought it was a music school . We were soo pleased as our children had learned to play on it and now other youngsters were having the same chance .

still keeping the fingers crossed .

Nonu I appreciate your thoughtful message. Thank you.

It is such a beautiful day in Kintyre. Perfect for would-be home buyers to see our situation/location at its loveliest.

A very nice local family came in yesterday afternoon to play Mr soop's piano. It was his retirement treat. He plays beautifully. The piano is to be sold because our next home will be far too wee and space is at a premium. The family is considering buying it for the three children. We would like to think that it was going to a good home...as is theirs.

Hospital appointment is just one in a long line. Prolapsed bowel/bladder needs repair [again]. I'm hoping to have surgery over and done with before the busiest times ahead.

I hope that the birthday bash is great fun for the family. How lovely that you're to mind the grandchildren. I wish you and lots of cuddles and smiles.

I was out gardening this afternoon! Too much work to catch up on!

We really need some rain up here in Cheshire. My soil is very sandy and usually easy to work but right now its so dry I am having trouble weeding it.

Hey folks! Where's my usual banner headline gone?
I am on GRANSNET aren't I?

Soop fell free to offload the frustrations , ^ BUT ^ there may NOT be any .

Hope all goes well in Glasgow , It it just a routine checkup [not being nosy] ? Does it take you long to get there ?

I will be away from Thursday to Bournville for DD s 40th birthday bash and then , wait for it ,

We are minding the children as it is their 10th Wedding anniversary and they are giving themselves their usual little break .

It would be wonderful , to hear that the sale is going ahead on my return .

still some about , in fact quite a lot .

When M&S opened in an out-of-town site which just happened to be on my route home from work, I gained a ridiculous amount of weight by scoffing their sticky toffee and lemon sponge puddings. Then I retired and decided that my pension wouldn't stretch to such luxuries - well, not every day.

Thanks Nonu...I promise that you lot will be the first to hear good news re the house sale. I shall probably need to offload frustrations, too.
When in an M&S food hall, we also treat ourselves to a creamy pud. On Wednesday, I've yet another hospital appointment in Glasgow. A trip to M&S for curry and creamy puds for our supper is on the agenda.

Soop , that is exactly what we are having , great minds , etc.

Idid actually mean your house , I perhaps thought afterwards it was a little insensitive , as you would have told us . As you say it is early days , no news is good news.

Still keeping everything crossed for you.

here still

Nonu Are you referring to the type of curry we favour? If so, Mr soop's is Tikka and mine is Rogan Josh.

If it's a question re the house hunters...the agent hasn't heard from them since he took them to see an alternative property in Tarbert. Early days...

Where did enemy come from. I typed with them.
I think my iPad has been communicating with jingles kindle fire!

My pegs are obviously with enemy trying to get them paired. A kind of dating agency?

Terry Pratchett had a theory about missing socks: that there is a place somewhere in outer space where they all congregate and wait for their partners to join them.

Galen , to clothes peg heaven in the sky ?

get the point Soop , dare i ask the burning question ? x

A bright, sunny, breexy afternoon in bonnie Kintyre.

Nonu...lucky you. Our nearest M&S for the curries we enjoy, is some 100 or so miles away.

Galen I ask the same question regarding missing odd socks.

Chilly but occasional sun.have the washing on the line! First time this year. I've also found I've only half my number of clothes pegs? Where have the rest gone?

Lovely morning afternoon in My corner of Cheshire. Almost warm. Would rather be in Darlington!

Good morning Mick, et al , another day anothe dollar .
Lovely here in East Anglia , makes you glad to be alive,
Just back from buying curries for tonight from M/S , so much easier than making from scratch .
I do so love a curry , the hotter the better , in fact I sprinkle extra cumin , chilli and tumeric on mine .

Nippy wind, but beautiful sunshine. Picked and prepped rhubarb from the garden. Cooking for 8 this evening with 2 guest staying over. Busy weekend ahead.

Giorno fine and sunny here in Palermo .

Good morning everyone. It's a glorious sunny morning here in South Cheshire. I've been for my usual walk across the fields with the hounds then back through the old churchyard. Lots of bird life here, pheasant's, woodpeckers, robins, wrens, to name but a few.

I have this image of our lovely members converging on Darlington - I hope it is ready for you.

After three days of Spring last week, it poured down yesterday and this morning it was snowing. I might even give my walk a miss today.
