Good morning all from a dark, but mild Glasgow.
Mick, I hope you have a lovely time with your sister and Kitty, a busy weekend for you.
Another day in for me.
I have slept in this morning, having had to lie down in a darkened room last night, after spending a day with a very hyperactive wee girl on steroids, who thought she could fly, (from the back of the sofa!)!!!! She is usually such a gentle, well behaved wee thing. .
DGD was chattering when she came in the door at 8pm and was still chattering without stopping when she left at 6pm. (Takes after her old gran)
My sister and law and I spent half an hour and used all our teacher tricks , to persuade her to take the 5 dissolved steroid tablets. I wonder if all the chocolate bribery played a part in her hyperactivity? Don't tell her parents.
Anyone, who has ever bitten a steroid tablet in error, will know that it is the most disgusting taste ever! ?
My middle son had the same problems when on steroids as a child ( once rode a bike down a flight of stone stairs) and I felt myself transported back to similar days in the past. How did I ever survive weeks of that?
Despite all that, my SIL and I had a lovely , (but exhausting) day. We chatted about my late BIL, without upsetting DH (as he was out), put the world to rights, gossiped, moaned about our offspring and kept DGD amused. Very cathartic.
No news of Gilly is worrying me, as no matter how bad things are, she always finds the time to post or PM. She is the lynchpin in her family, I hope they are looking after her for a change.
Lins, I hope you are feeling in less pain today.
Kalu, nice to see you back. I bet it's 10 degrees warmer up the road in your micro climate!!
For anyone else under the weather, .
