Yes thanks folk. I have recovered.
The worst bit was that I was dying to empty my bladder!

Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good pals and
Jolly good company.
Love to you ALL. Take care of yourselves and each other. I shall be with you again as soon as I'm able. 
Jax Tonight, I am looking forward to a couple of glasses of my favourite red wine. Mr S will relish is Friday night wee dram with a splash of water.
Time for me to log off. It is windy and wet. We shall be going to the village plant and bake sale tomorrow. I'm hoping that the weather is kinder, as it's an outdoor event.
Thank you for your company. 
brook You sound relaxed and totally in the mood for your lovely holiday treats. Make the most of every moment.
dustyangel You have another special family visit to anticipate. I am happy for you.
We look forward to seeing the photographs that you mention. Here is the Kintyre sky I photographed through the window last night.
Thank you Baggs for keeping us all updated regarding Baubles. Best wishes for her continued improvement and patience for her in what will probably be a trying time. ?
Beautiful bowls that are made to be admired for their own uniqueness.
My SiL was the last of our visitors to leave, he had an extra few days due to many changes in flight times. He returns in six weeks time with DD1 at last, for what is their actual holiday although they are trying to fit a couple of long weekends in between September and Christmas.
I have some photographs of birds and sunsets sent by DGS that I shall try to post when I get them transferred.
Galen thank goodness you had your phone with you, I’m glad you didn’t suffer nothing worse than the loss of the firemen 
Good afternoon to everyone...I keep meaning to write everyone's name down so I can respond but keep getting side tracked by the snippets of news. I got asked to do the flowers at church...I could hardly say no as one of the ladies is unwell and the other is away. So it was with more than a bit of trepidation I set forth armed with a bucket full of flowers. For once I didn't mind that Mass seemed longer than normal!!!!. I hope that there are no professional flower arrangers at Mass on Sunday... It's only a very small parish so everyone will know I did the display. I prayed very hard to St Jude who is the patron saint of lost causes...not least that I wouldn't have to call DOH back from work to get me up off the floor after I'd cleared up ( I had a new hip 5 weeks ago). In the end O was a bit like a tormented pilgrim walking on my knees across the altar until I could get to the priests chair and a stool to haul myself up...I can't be absolutely certain but I'm sure when I looked at the statue of Our Lady she was smiling.... What time is it ok to start on the gin? I'm asking for a friend obviously!!!!!
Blossoming That is a good result. Well done. Keep taking the tablets. I'm pleased to hear that Mr B is keeping a close eye on your diet. It isn't unusual to lose one's appetite when feeling poorly. It will be a good sign when you thoroughly enjoy your meal again. The chicken curry sounds very tempting. Mr S would love to join you.
Yia I believe that stress can trigger shingles. Damian is far too young to have to deal with such a distressing condition.
You are lucky to have somewhere local that serves a good curry. Mr S would think he had gone to heaven. He relies on M&S ready meals for such treats.
Grannygravy The image of your grandson speaks volumes..."Places to go. Things to do". Just as it should be. Enjoy your well deserved curry treat this evening. I would choose Balti.
Thinking of Baubles ?
It’s good that Mr Soop is progressive well soop
It’s sunny here today, we are looking after The Imp which means we spend most of our time running after him
Welcome home, Nannytopsy. Sorry to hear about the one dodgy house rental. How distressing for you. Perhaps you ask for a part refund. I know that I would.
We always stay at Premier Inns. They are reliably welcoming, comfortable and, most importantly, clean. The latter is a must.
Galen Are you recovering from the trauma of being stuck on the stair lift? Have you recovered from being deprived of the company of the three hunky firemen? 
Sue Oh, the joy of moving house. I remember it well. It is always hugely stressful and most certainly tinged with sadness. You will take with you many happy memories. A very good thing that you checked that cupboard. The new owner would have believed that you had left a most generous welcome to your new home gift.
I hope the pussy cat settles in your in-between home.
Urms What a sweet and caring gesture.
gillgran I am shocked to learn that children as young as your daughter was, can contract shingles.
Yia I hope that your grandson recovers asap from shingles. Again, I had no idea that anyone his age could suffer with such a distressing illness.
Jax Lucky lady! The peony is perfect. Have you been watching the Chelsea Flower Show on tv? My favourite gardener, Monty Don, is one of the presenters.
mrshat I also wish you good health and happiness.
Baubles is never far from my thoughts. 
Thank you for all the good wishes! ? It’s been a long day, mostly successful but with a few hiccups along the way, as you’d expect. We had a power cut halfway through the afternoon, just as we were cleaning, which was not useful, especially as one of the neighbour’s burglar alarms went potty.
Then after the men left I couldn’t find my handbag so called them up because I thought it must have got packed. They said they’d look first thing tomorrow. Two minutes later, I found it on the landing next to the main bathroom! I never take my bag to bed so how it got there, I have no idea.
We finished up the cleaning and packed up the cars with the cat, his essentials and our essentials for glamping in a small flat for three months, then did a walk-through to say a fond farewell to the house. I casually opened a cupboard door - and it was full! ?. Arrrgggh! No room in the car so now we’ll have to go back first thing tomorrow to retrieve the stuff. Much of it is alcohol, so is obviously essential. 
TOYA!
‘Evening All’.
No ‘Dixon’ tonight as this made me laugh at teatime.
May I share?
L’il Miss was sat next to me on their sofa. Then she said ‘sit there grandma, don’t move’ and ran off into the playroom.
Next minute she came back with a ‘ring’ and put her foot next to mine.
She does make me giggle. I took a photo!
?
I hope SueD has had a successful day, with minimal stress. Great you can venture out again soop miracles of modern medicine.
I’ve potted on and a delivery from Farmer Gracy means planting and watering tomorrow. Library and farm shop took up a goodly part of my day too.
Hope your grandson recovers quickly Yia.
Fingers crossed baubles is improving, my long awaited peony flower has now opened. I only grew veg really until last year, after living here for 23 years, now I have the magic of flowers.
Enjoy your evening all x
Thanks Baggs for the good news on baubles - long may it continue.
Lovely bowls ladies, definitely do not need anything in them. They are a joy in themselves.
Best wishes to everyone for good health and happiness
