Good morning all from a chilly Glasgow, where it's -2°C with a beautiful sky.
Happy birthday to Mr C! I misread your post, Corner, I thought Mr C's parents were coming to lunch!!! 😂
GM, I feel so sorry for you clearing your home and so many memories, on your own. What a difficult thing to have to do. 💐
Well I survived yesterday's visit to the Range. As you would expect of a Marydoll outing, it was not without incident.
I had difficulty getting out of DIL's mini, until I realised the strap of my bag had somehow wrapped itself around my leg.
No matter how I tried, I couldn't release it, due to my mobility issues.
ĎIL had to come to the passenger side, swivel me round, lift my leg ( I couldn"t), then untangle me. She was hysterical with laughter, trying to release me. I was mortified! It did not bode well.
Things went downhill after that.
The range was packed to the rafters with enticing things, which I neither needed, nor had room for, I was like a child in a sweetie shop and got a bit carried away. DIL bought nothing!
Then it was time to grace M&S food with my presence. It was great to have DIL carrying the basket and she suggested the self service checkout. So far so good.
I somehow managed to crash the till three times, trying to use the coupons and vouchers I had.
The poor assistant, who was helping me, was smiling through gritted teeth.
While I was standing, awaiting the assistant for the third time, I felt my foot wet. Puzzled I looked up to see if it was something to do with the air conditioning, nothing.
There was now a puddle at my feet. Had I had an accident? 😕 I then realised that my longline gilet was soaking wet from waist to ankle! 😱
The very patient assistant came back over to see what was wrong. It was then that she noticed my shoulder bag was also wet and something was dripping onto the floor!
A half full bottle of Coke, left over from my snack in the Range, had leaked in my bag. Looking inside, I saw a pool of Coke at the bottom. Everything was soaking wet!
The lovely assistant went away and brought a blue roll, got down on her knees and proceeded to dry me off. What a lovely lady.
Well done M&S!
Poor DIL was so upset for me, but I found it very amusing. Just like the mishaps of previous, good times, when I was out and about. Things were getting back to normal.
On arriving home, everything, my gilet, Kipling bag and knitted dress went into the machine.
On a more positive note, I found a crumpled, soaking wet, tenner in a corner of my bag. I haven't been anywhere since New Year, so I have no idea, where it came from.
The best part of all was no angina pain, nor serious vertigo episode in among all the stress and activity.
Things may be looking up!
I did fall asleep, watching my latest Turkish rubbish drama after I got home. I was exhausted!
I will go back and now read your posts, which has become part of my daily routine, before I feel well enough to get up.
I may even attempt to do some sewing alterations. I have some bargain dresses, which have voluminous sleeves, which make
me look as broad as I am long!
For all those in sick bay, I hope you feel better soon, especially Aggie, after her fall. 💐
Have a good day folks, whatever your plans.
The sun has just come out! Hurrah!
She didn't, she looked beautiful.
