Here we are yet again,
Happy as we can be...
All good friends and jolly good company.
WELCOME to our very own kitchen in which we celebrate happy occasions and support each other through the difficult times. 
Great news, Grandmabatty, what a relief for you, you'll sleep tonight!
Beautiful sunset, Yiayia, cool diamond art/artist!
Beautiful family, N&G,
Soop, wishing you and MrS. safe travels and a happy family get together.
Blade Annie, you are a lucky lady, what a capable husband you have...
mind you, long, long ago in the days before straighteners, my DH used to iron my wavy, waist length hair
I am still faffin' in preparation for the family gathering. Sadly, the great grandchildren cannot join us. We must wait until we're able to make the trip to Rutland. Never mind, the photos keep coming.
Talking of a faff (my late Nana's favourite word), I have no idea what's going on with the "drop bot" arrangements for further investigation. I was told that I would need to go to Glasgow Royal Infirmary for "tests". Then I receive a letter from another hospital asking me to phone for an appointment. The area code was missing. It wasn't signed. This morning a lady called from a different hospital and asked me to note that in mid September, I shall receive an on-line telephone appointment with a physio'. The prolapse is about as bad as it gets. I cannot venture far for fear of nasty accidents and it is bulky and uncomfortable even on short walks. This means that we will not be able to do any significant sightseeing with family when we meet.
I apologise for the rant. I hate myself for feeling so confused and frustrated.
Grannmarie Wow! Did you you really have your long hair ironed? That must have taken some doing and nerve.
Away to faff. Will be in to say hello/farewell at some time tomorrow.
Please take great care. 
Aww, Soop, please rant away, you certainly have something to rant about, so sorry to hear that. I hope you get proper help soon.
Yes, Soop, really and truly! The things you do when you're young!
I would kneel on the floor, we'd put the ironing board at the lowest level, DH would iron my thick, wavy hair strand by strand. I was delighted when straighteners became readily available!.
‘Evening All’.
Another glorious day here in Malaga. We walked to the huge Carrefour (only 15 minutes stroll) and bought 2 chairs for the balcony. Himself carried them back (they were lightweight) and I carried the fat seat cushions. Teamwork.

What wonderful news Grandmabatty! Bet you’ve been on cloud 9 all day. Whereas for you dear soop you must be upset and confused in equal measures. I hope your appointment is sorted soon. x
Grandmabatty, that really is the best news, hurrah! You’ll sleep well tonight.
Soop, that sounds a very poor show. You should register a complaint, otherwise they’ll think they can get away with it. Speaking of medical matters, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at a friend’s experience. She tried to book a smear test and was asked if a phone appointment would suffice! 
I didn’t realise until recently that you are Scotland-based, same as me! I’m NE Scotland, though.
Thank you all for the migraine sympathy. I woke this morning with NO migraine, hurrah! First time since Sunday.
Our weather forecast was completely wrong today and instead of cloud and cool temps we’ve had wall-to-wall sunshine and it’s been in the low 20’s! What a welcome surprise! Overall, we’ve had a pretty decent summer in this small corner.
Tomorrow I’m off to wrestle with my 3yo GD for two days while her 8mths pregnant mum is working. I’ll visit my own mother first, which, to judge from an earlier phone call, will involve a lot moaning and complaining by her. ?
