Good morning Mick all from Glasgow, where it's raining again. Welcome flowerlover, I hope all goes well for your daughter in law.
I have woken up with a hacking cough, so have decided not to go to the wedding venue to make the final arrangements and settle the bill. I will steer clear of everyone and see what happens. ?
As I have chronic lung conditions, this is not an unusual event, it's just a matter of playing a waiting game, as I don't have any other symptoms.
Eight of our guests are now unable to fly from USA, so DD is very disappointed. We will put out an update and say that we are happy for anyone who feels they are vulnerable to stay at home. God forbid that guests fall ill, because they didn't want to disappoint us.
On top of that, there will be no flower deliveries from Holland, as of Monday, so we may need to use silk flowers for the wedding.
.
DD has been so upbeat until now, I felt so upset for her yesterday.
Today, was meant to be her pre-wedding afternoon tea, so I have bought a load of cream cakes and we are going to have a wee mini hen, just DH, DD, SIL and I.
We will all just have to pull together, we are good at that as a family.
Anyway, it was all going too smoothly for me! ?
We have told her, that all that matters is that she gets married, even if there is no fancy do. We will have a family party at a later date.
The most important thing is to keep everyone safe.
Yesterday, I planned to print out the seating plan and make the huge Scrabble board to display each individual table plan. Something stopped me, thank goodness.
On a lighter note, my future SIL asked me if I could wrap his gifts for the groomsmen, (a cast of millions,). I. have to say, I was extremely proud of my Scrabble themed crafty efforts, until I got to the end and discovered that I was missing an A tile! Help! ☹️
When my DD was a flower girl many years ago, she was given a doll, which had been made to look exactly like her in her beautiful dress. She has organised the same for my wee granddaughter. My task today is to sew a mini Pooh Bear ?onto the doll's hand, and make a tartan bow tie for him to match the kilts, as DGD doesn't go anywhere without her best boy.
Thank to everyone who has been so kind to me over the last few days, it is much appreciated.
Sorry for the long winded novella, I just needed to offload, GN has been my rock, recently.
For all those in a much worse position than I am, sending best wishes and hugs. Dragonfly, I hope your are looking after yourself ?
Dear Urmstongran, stay safe. ?
