Hello...again...my lovely Granspals. How kind of you to cut the ribbon and open up the extended extension, Nelliemoser I trust that you have enjoyed the Champagne cocktails.
AlieOxon I guess that your coffee has been laced with something special. It's good to see you reclining in such upmarket style on the chaise thingymejig. You suit it. The sea is lively. Far too cold for a quick skinny dip.
janthea Coffee and walnut it is. Please have another glass or two of Champagne. I have lit the virtual Aga. It's toasty in here. Move Rory off that tartan chair. He has his own blanket. In fact, he has three or four.
Tortoiseshell kitten, daughter of Rory, didn't visit at all yesterday. I'm a little concerned because she has been making up to three visits a day for food. I would hate to think of her lying injured, way deep in the forest. Had Rory not made it home to us [on the occasion he was attacked and injured] he would have died. A cat with a badly bitten foot and ear, requiring expensive antibiotics, wouldn't have been able to hunt for food.
Shall we have some Scottish music? It will have to be a CD. The handsome young piper who lives in the village is working today. Perhaps we can bribe persuade him to call in later.
