Good morning all from a damp Glasgow, where I have little planned.
brook you are so fortunate to be able to travel to Loch Morlich, it is beautiful. I haven't been there for thirty years, the last time was on a field trip with colleagues. We stayed in the Aviemore resort and were giving a row by the manager for having too much fun disturbing other guests.
I get so much pleasure hearing about all the activities everyone has planned. Enjoy!
Yesterday, I realised I had little cash in the house, as I have been paying everything online. However our local paper shop only takes cash, as do a few others. It would be a disaster if DH couldn't buy his Racing Post.
I decided that I was going to stop wallowing and go out early to our bank in Paisley, when it would still be quiet.
As usual, nothing went to plan.
My bank card was gathering dust in the little safe I keep hidden under a stash of crafting materials.
Putting in the password, all I got was a whirring sound, but nothing happening. ?
Not to be daunted, I got the hidden key and tried that. Nothing! Panic was now setting in. The only answer could be that something in amongst the rubbish important documents had caught on the mechanism. I did try calling for DH, but his selective deafness needs urgent medical intervention! ?
Eventually, I had to take all the craft stuff away, (why do I have so much stuff????), lift the safe and start turning it upside down, backwards forwards, sideways, anyways to try and free things. I was exhausted and my craft room looked like a teenager's bedroom!!!!! After much expletives huffing and puffing, I freed whatever was causing the problem.
How on earth would have I got into it, if that didn't work?
By the time I got to Paisley, there were no parking spaces left, apart from one tiny one. I knew I wouldn't manage to walk from the multi storey car park, so it had to be this one or give up and go home.
Cue even more advanced driving skills. ? After all the effort, I was not giving up that easily. Some time later, after at least ten attempts, a queue of annoyed bus drivers ??????? and a face to match the colour of my hair, I managed it!
After being incarcerated for a year, I had lost my confidence driving and am trying to challenge myself by going out, when I feel up to it.
Much to my delight, outside the bank, I was excited to find a small farmers' market. However, it was too busy for me, I still get anxious being close to people, especially if they are not wearing masks.
What I did spot was a traditional pie stall, with about a dozen varieties. As Mr MDoll, loves a pie, fool that I am, I bought a stash for the freezer, not realising how heavy they were! ?
I got home to find there was no clue as to what the fillings were. ? The tops had to be prised off to enable me to label them for the freezer.
It may not surprise you to read, I spent the afternoon lying down, I was exhausted.????
My day will be spent taking hems up on four pairs of new trousers, that I eventually persuaded Mr MD to buy. Why can't he have normal length legs like other men? ? DD is the same. She has four pairs of jeans here, waiting to be fixed! It must be genetic! ?
Wishing everyone the best of days and enjoy the sunshine. It's about to rain here. ?
PS. I have been trying to post this for an hour gggrrrrr!? There is something wrong with my tablet, I need to get my IT thinking cap on. it should keep me out of mischief, if nothing else.
