Afternoon/evening all.
After being delighted st the news of the new royal baby, my 2nd great grandson was born at 1.15pm today. Max Grant Harrop weighed in at 7lbs.9oz, almost 2 weeks early. His dad, my grandson Mitch, sounded absolutely delighted when he rang me!
This morning I visited my friend`s widower, and managed to get a photo of my little mate Baby just as she walked down from my shoulder. Isn`t she cute?
Flattery will get you everywhere Maw, but thank you anyway!
So sorry, I`ve been a bit ignorant of others today, will try harder tomorrow.
In the meantime, a pic of the new baby.
Charleyg I shall ask him at the weekend. 
callgirl1 Max is a handsome baby boy. I love the dimpled chin. Hearty congratulations to all concerned. 
Care home visit was less fraught today. I held a lengthy conversation with a new resident. She appeared to have lost a ticket and was getting agitated. I believe that, as we chatted about all manner of other things, the conversation took her mind off the lost ticket. M was convinced that a plane was about to land just across the loch. The fire alarm drill took her mind off what would have been a precarious landing! 
Afternoon the Kitchen !!
I can see I have some catching up to do - but first congratulations Callgirl on Max's safe arrival. He really should at least get a certificate on arriving on the same day as the young prince. Smashing picture- I love the knowing look a new-born gives you - like I've been here before lets get on with it !!
I love Baby!! What sort of bird is it?
noooooooooo Galen ...whatever next ?
Welcome Westiegran - is that because you're from the West or have a Westie? If its the later, pictures are always welcome and watch out for Charleygirl who is a bit of a dog napper on the quiet !!
Its all quiet here - the painters have gone , the renderers ( is that right ????) have gone , the electrician has gone. Its lovely to have some breathing space.
This is our new sparkly white outside and our new , but pretty empty lounge and dining room.
Sam is feeling a bit sorry for himself today after a visit to the vets yesterday ( so is Grampy but to be fair that's the £62 bill for eye drops we could have purchased in the chemist for a £5) !! Sam has conjunctivitis and when you don't have opposable thumbs its hard to rub your eyes when they itch so much. So we humans are doing our bit with cotton pads dipped in cool , boiled water.
Hopefully a day or so of the VERY expensive drops and he will be as right as rain ( and Grampy might even have recovered !)
Looking lovely (and very tidy) N&G but I dare say a quick visit from the DGCs will soon sort that!
Love your home N&g, my sort of colours. I've been in tidying mode today, Granny detail is at their home later so if I can persuade Mr C, aka the squirrel, there is nothing he needs to bring in and consider for a day or two it may stay that way. Of course the items under consideration sometimes just disappear. Nothing to do with me 
Oh dear, time to go, I sometimes remember the structure of paid work with fondness .
Lovely Teddy photos. When`s the get together Soop? I seem to remember it being very soon.
N&G, how sparkling white your house looks, to anyone who didn`t know it would appear brand new! I wish mine was as tidy inside, my daughters say it`s because I have too much "stuff", but I`m not a hoarder, honest, just don`t like getting rid if something`s got life left in it! That was a bit steep for eye drops, hope they give Sam some relief, I`ve had conjunctivitus, it`s not nice, bless him. I`m not sure exactly what Baby is, just that she`s some sort of parrot, but a small one. She does a brilliant impression of the phone ringing, and always wolf whistles when she`s on my hand.
Here`s another Max photo, this time without the woolly hat, they went home today.
callgirl1 Friday!!! The photo of Max minus his hat is adorable. Such a beautiful head of hair.
It's sunny. It's calm and I'm buzzing with anticipation. It's a grannie thing.
N&G I also like your colour scheme. Very restful. By George, those eye drops were awfully expensive. I trust that you have pet insurance. Our Rory (bless his paddy paws) together with his wifelet and two daughters cost us a pretty penny but they were soooooooo worth it.
MacSporran has had a new tyre fitted (on the car). A bit more to add to the garage bill.
Ironing duty in the morning. I shall catch up once I return home. I'm still thinking of ann and her husband. Please may they be coping as well as can be expected. They've had such a tough time and need to feel more hopeful.
Good night dear Granspals. 
Max certainly is gorgeous callgirl. In case I don’t get back, sending you every good wish there is for your family get together , soop. Have a wonderful time.
Don’t tempt me charlie, I just love sorting and clearing, or i do when it’s finished and I can admire the result. I’m sure there are tablets for it .
Think that’s my last visit until the weekend. Take care everyone.
