Thanks all!
Packing done, but I'm a little worried that Kate has packed two bottles of champagne rather than the one I meant to take!
Oh how awful!! You might have to drink them 
How dare they Galen! Don't they know who you are?!!
Have a wonderful time! 
Alea I am also delighted to hear that the scan was as you'd hoped. I shall be thinking of you and hope that everything goes according to plan. Us lot will want to know all about the big day just as soon as you return. Take good care of yourself. Grace will be well looked after. 
Galen How very careless of Kate. 
Knowing you...you'll get away with it. loopylou's suggestion sounds plausible. Have yourselves a super time on the high seas. Please stay away from dodgy lift doors.
Lona it is extremely mild in Kintyre. I'm wearing a cotton blouse. Yesterday I wore two sweaters. Funny old weather.
Wonderful news Alea. I'm glad you got the good news before the wedding, now you can can look forward and have a wonderful time. 
Galen dazzle them with your pearls smile.
Have a wonderful time.
They just don't make cones of shame that fit sighthounds 
. I think we need to come up with an idea for one that works [and make out fortune with it at the same time].
Musicians I used to babysit for back in my Dundee days said they (well, she anyway) only ever wore pearls when playing in recitals because they diffused any light that they reflected rather than dazzling anyone (including other musicians, presumably). Today's piece of erudite useless information 
Have fun, galen and alea at your separate fun things.
Galen - could you not acquire some large medicine bottles (like those big lactulose bottles), wash them thoroughly, and then fill them with something far more therapeutic?! 
I think they have trained sniffer dogs at the top of the gang plank. They are not going to lose any of the huge profit they make on booze
It is such a treat to pop into our kitchen and see that some very good pals have joined us. Makes my day.
I've completed an IQ test on FB. Although it was easy-ish to start with, as the quiz progressed, the test became much trickier. Well, guess what...I scored top marks. I'm in the top 4% of people who pass the test. I know full well that I'm bragging something rotten. I'm chuffed because just lately I've imagined that I'm losing the plot. It is a comfort to know that I've a good supply of marbles that continue to function.
Festive greetings to all our Kitcheners. Our plan is to enjoy a few simple treats and above all else, to count our blessings because there are countless people without good health, home, companionship or support.
It is almost dark and I've much to do. Decided to strip the sitting room and shift furniture...much as bags has been doing. Rory isn't amused. I've put his rugs into the wash. Now why does she need to do that? He thinks.
MacSporran is removing useless clutter from the loft. I do so love it when I see how much neater it appears.
Care home visit in the morning. Does anyone else gasp at the rate the days pass? I find it difficult to keep up with myself.
Enjoy a peaceful evening. I shall return tomorrow afternoon for catch-up. 
Why on earth. . . . soop??
I usually find that when I take the cards and any Christmas decs down in January I am shamed into a bit of a big clean, but before? 
??
Any marbles going spare soop? I've put some birthday presents somewhere very safe....so safe in fact, that I can't find them
I'm another one who enjoys a really good sort out and furniture reshuffle- DH is resigned to humouring me (and often reshuffling it back again!)
Don't think there will be one before Christmas though
Good news Alea now you can relax and enjoy the wedding.
Galen have a wonderful cruise. I am 
. If you think they might confiscate your supplies, you could leave them here in the kitchen with us. I promise not to touch a drop
