Good morning all from a cloudy Glasgow. Thank you all for the birthday wishes. I just can't get my head around my age.
When my health deteriorated badly in 2014, I was told my prognosis was very poor, but here I am, still causing mayhem!
Pleased to hear, you had a slightly more positive day yesterday GM that was an excellent idea to ask one of the doctors to join you. I hope things move quickly now.
Yesterday, was a pretty enjoyable, but tiring day. DH walks at such a pace and forgets I can''t
The market was pretty rubbish, once we eventually found it that is. DD had told me that it was next to junior football ground, all we found was spanking new flats! She omitted the word NEW from her message!
However, I did buy a beautiful azalea for £5 and a vintage, collectible Stars Wars vehicle for £8. DS2, the forty year old child, who has a study full of Star Wars memorabilia. I know he will love it! I shall put it away in my present box.
I happened to mention to DH that years ago, behind the trees, there used to be a Matalan junk outlet shop.
He went for a look and lo and behold it was still there! Oh joy, an opportunity to rummage!
Despite the rubbish, I still managed to find some items.
Walking to the restaurant, I though I could hear my phone ringing, but due to the busy traffic, I couldn't quite hear. DH, being his usual impatient and hearing challenged self, marched on, saying I was imagining it. On arriving at the restaurant, I saw DD had been trying to contact me. On phoning back, Mum, don't worry, I can't speak, I'm in the middle of something and I need to deal with it. I then spent the time waiting for her to call, on tenterhooks.
She later phoned back in tears, ?, but they were tears of joy! She and DIL had put in a sealed bid for a house they had viewed on Tuesday and got it!
I was crying too, because it is such a seller's market here and houses are being sold within days, so they will only now be staying with us, until August! Wee Dollie is also delighted, because they had stolen her room here and she is not pleased at all! ?
I got home to find my neighbour had taken in this stunning bouquet from DD and SIL. It was a love surprise, as they had already bought me a mini greenhouse.
I need to get a move on, because we have another First Communion today and I am one of the sacristans. Rather than face the jobsworths at the locked gate, I am going out early and will sneak in the back way. ( If somehow I can negotiate the single lane roadworks.)
My children aren't too happy, that I won't be in, but I agreed to help, not realising the date!
Consequently, I am celebrating a sandwich birthday, the day before and the day after! ?
Have a pleasant day, whatever your plans. MOMB, hoping you have a successful outcome with the paperwork. How daunting it must be for that young family. Safe journey to all travellers and praying the poorly daughters have a gentle day.
To my lovely granspal, who sent me a card, and J, thank you. ? I shall contact you both when I get back.
