Grandmabatty Logan's second birthday treat, spent in the park, in the sunshine with that cake sounds perfect in every sense. Your daughter certainly has a flair for baking fabulous cakes. Bellasnana has a daughter who is gifted in the same way.
Fennel Yesterday the birds were preparing to greet spring in the usual fashion. Today however, there is a tremendous gale blowing. The waves are mighty. The gulls are soaring and swooping this way and that with such grace. I almost envy their freedom.
Urmstongran The gremlin that struck was intent on keeping me locked out of Gransnet. I could access Facebook and receive and send emails. Yet, every time I tried to log on, I was informed of an interruption in the service provider. Not being able to wish you lot goodnight dismayed me. 
Jaxjacky Oh, the buggeration of discovering that a paper tissue has mushed up in the wash. Followed by the endless picking of bits and cursing under the breath.
Grandmafrench Bojo could have made the effort and brushed his hair before putting in an appearance. Standards matter...as my late father used to say. Father, in his prime, was a Sergeant Major. A stickler for standards.
Thank you for your lovely, kindly posts.
muse Sliding between freshly laundered bed linen is top of my list of bedtime treats, together with a good book and a cup of Horlicks and I'm a very happy bunny.
Muse and Mya, I'm wishing you both a good Tuesday.
I empathise with you regarding the thwarted attempts to make headway with your house build. Talk about a stressful time. We converted two barns and helped to build our present home, in which we've lived for seventeen years. At no time did the process proceed without major, toe curling setbacks. If those setbacks hadn't spoiled the experiences (from time to time) we would be a lot more comfortably off financially. Hey, but we made it. And so will you. 
I've just this minute emptied the washing machine. No tissue, thankfully. However, a red top has dyed all whites a sugary shade of pink. Mr Soop's pale blue undies are now a becoming shade of lavender.
A friend received some very sad news today. Her 21 year old nephew, a post grad with a very bright future to look forward to, has committed suicide. Police have taken his computer in order to try to discover any background info' that may assist in discovering a reason for his death.
