Good morning all from a partly sunny Glasgow.
Wonderful news, Chrissielou and so lovely to see you posting again, Greyduster. You were a regular, when I started posting many years ago.
GM ?
We are off to the nursery this morning for begonias. It is a very old business and DH refuses to go anywhere else for them. It's not cheap, but the quality is exceptionally good.
To be honest, after yesterday's very busy day, I am pretty wiped out and would rather stay in.
Parking at the charity shop is very difficult, despite having disabled bays, they are usually full. I then had the bright idea of putting the eight bags in trollies and pushing them along from Asda. Not the best of ideas, I have to say, because the magnets in the trollies brought them to an abrupt halt, halfway between Asda and the charity shop.
DH hadn't twigged what was happening. I was in stitches watching him trying to get the trolley to move. Eventually, he had to make three walking trips, (while I supervised) as there were a fair number of bags to carry.
Last night I was sitting in the conservatory, having my cuppa after dinner, when I thought I heard DH talking to someone. It was DS2, who had popped in with my present, which he had mistakenly sent to himself, instead of me! It was an enormous box of Hotel Chocolat goodies. The only problem with it, is where can I hide it from DD?
About ten minutes later, the doorbell rang again, a little figure in a pink ballet outfit, came running in. It was Dollie along with DS1, who is usually too busy working to pop in in the evening.
Of course, I was so delighted to see her and did my usual exaggerated welcome. DS said that she was doing impersonations of my anticipated welcome in the car on the way down and that she had got me down to a T. She is a natural mimic and she does a very impressionable impersonation of her gran getting frustrated with papa. ?
We were treated to tales of her school day, a ballet display, arm wrestling competitions with papa and her uncle, with us attempting to look impressed when she sang a song for papa and delivered her forward plan for her sleepover in a few weeks time. However, it was difficult not to smile, for it was not a song, but a hymn and like her daddie and papa, she is tone deaf. ?
The best bit was that my two boys, who had fallen out with each other during the pandemic, were chatting as if nothing had happened. Apart from the wedding, they haven't been together in the same room since the start of the pandemic. I could feel my eyes filling up, sentimental and emotional old fool that I am. ?
Since I have had Covid, I have been quite anxious and teary, No idea why!
Safe sailing to Ash and her DH, I hope you have a great time and the same wishes go to all those travelling or on holiday at the moment. Sar, I continue to be envious. ?
MOFMB, I hope all goes well today and you experience a successful outcome.
Wishing you a pleasant day, whatever your plans. DH is champing at the bit to get out, but I have neither the energy, nor inclination to get out of bed! ?
