Wonderful news Ginster

Good morning all from a brighter start than expected on the Angus coast - looks like another typical March day.
Welcome home to gingster's DD - that welcome for her from her little DD was so touching.
Oh I do have Spring envy! What beautiful photos of all the blossom. Thank you. I had a wander round my garden yesterday. I have my host of daffodils now, and periwinkles are blooming in abundance - but the buds on the trees are as tightly closed as ever and the rhododendron are showing little inclination to open yet. Oh well, Spring will arrive when it's ready.
Bluebalou enjoy your seaside holiday. And I hope the weather behaves for you. Take lots of layers!
Yesterday I achieved the sum total of notalot. I felt so sluggish all day and after a good night's sleep I still dosed the afternoon away. Brighter today though so the house had better be ready for an onslaught!
I hope all feeling poorly or in pain - corner - have a better day and that Marydoll feels better for her Highland escape.
Have the best day everyone x

Good morning from North Yorkshire. Another bright and breezy day no doubt with associated showers later.
So pleased your DD is home Ginster. Love the blossom pics. We are a little behind “up north”!
I need to pop to town for a gift for my cousin. She’s 80 on Monday and is having a party tomorrow at a restaurant up in the dales.
Other than that a quiet day for me.
Have a good day everyone.

Good morning from a damp NE where it does not seem quite so windy.
Sister and BIL will visit this afternoon followed by DS and family.
DS sent a message to say that GD2 had been awarded a music exhibition at school, monetary value is only a tiny percentage of the school fees but it is the recognition of her piano playing that we welcome. Exhibition students get to play in concerts several times a year too.
Good news Gingster that your DD is home.
Have a good weekend.

Good morning all from showery Harrogate
Glad you are feeling better Mick.
I’m so happy your DD is home Gingster what a surprise for your DGD. Safe travels Ash. Did go to the tenement house long time ago,very interesting. Coupled with a visit to the people’s palace and a narrative on living in a single end.
So sorry about your friend, it must have been hard being with her to the end Grandmabatty.
Glad you made it back Marydoll and that you enjoyed your holiday!
Have the best day possible folks

Gingster what wonderful, touching news.

Good morning from S Lanarkshire, raining for a change.

Enjoy your visit baubles, I visited there many years ago, there was a framed letter which made me smile, I wonder if it’s still there!

I’ll miss Urms daily posts, if you’re reading, take care and come back soon.

10 year old DGD staying this weekend, we’re going to see the local youth music group perform The School of Rock this afternoon, I hope she enjoys it. I’ll stop writing now because in spite of repeated requests, she won’t/can’t stop talking!
It’s a joy having her, off to have breakfast and then make ice cream.

Wishing everyone a good weekend, so glad your DD is home Gingster, may everything go well. 🦩

After a very disturbed night - ferocious wind hurling rain at the bedroom windows - feel very lacklustre but have nothing planned so an idle day is in prospect.

Thank you for the Matt cartoon, Maw. Apart from giving us a smile it will keep Urmstongran in mind until her return. Lovely post from * Gingster*, hope things go well for her DD; have a restful day, Marydoll.

Good morning, I’ve hung out the washing , more in hope than expectation !
I remember going to see the Tenement flat years ago , but I also remember my Godmothers extremely opulent and gorgeous flat in Glasgow , such a contrast !

Good Morning from a blustery S Yorks.

Phew that was a heavy duty day Greyduster.

I'm very glad to hear your news Gingster

Can you delay the op, G Mattie, till after the move, or is it a "must seize the appointment or be months" necessity?

Bests for poorlies and have good outings and family times

Very tired as ever but I do hope just to pop out to the gym.

Good morning from a bright W Kent. Gingster glad your DD is home. gM all the best for the check up. Safe travels to all those on the move.
Off into town for Birthday cards and bits and pieces, otherwise a quiet day.
Best wishes to all

Good morning all from Polmont where it's currently 7°. It's dried up a bit but the sky is grey. I wrote a post much earlier but had broadband issues so lost the bloomin thing. Thank you all for the kind messages on here and directly to me concerning the death of my friend. I appreciate them all.
Yesterday dd, dgs2 and I had a wee trip to town. Dgs2 was not impressed with the haircut but was impressed with the steamed milk in an adult cup at Costa's.
Today I'm heading to Aldi for a small food shop, then to Marks and Spencer to pick up my new funeral garb. I had stuff I could wear but I can imagine my friend's raised eyebrows, so a new dress and jacket it is. She would heartily approve of me buying clothes as she loved shopping for a bargain. I will do some housework and write out her eulogy for the minister which she dictated to me. A very organised lady. Gammon and cabbage for dinner. Have a good day all

Good morning from a wet Durham. I took the rain to Cheshire with me and must’ve brought it back! Another with Spring envy - there’s hardly a daffodil in flower around here yet.
A lazy day, will do a bit of laundry and some paperwork.
Good news Gingster - your DD will be well looked after by you.
Hope others not feeling so good are on the mend.
Best wishes to all. X

Gingster so delighted to hear your DD is home.

Good morning everyone from a bright and sunny 🌞Northampton. Yes, I'm back home, after a 12 hour night flight. Arrived at Heathrow at 4.30 am, and back at home here by 7.45 am. Just had a slice of toast as apparently I was.fast asleep when breakfast came round on the plane and sadly, no-one woke me! I was not pleased.

Am now off to start unpacking and sort out a bit of washing.

Will miss Urms.

Have a good Saturday everyone.

Oh, I just had to post and say from my heart, you are all such a lovely bunch of folk, truly. Thank you. You are always amazingly supportive of one another. Me too. It means a lot and I’m hugely grateful.
And to Maw.
👋

Good morning from a Travelodge in Dundee. It’s cloudy and breezy outside. We were lucky yesterday with plenty of sunny spells and only light showers. Rain through the night. We enjoyed the jute museum yesterday (and the cafe). We visited the McManus museum and art gallery and enjoyed looking at the studio pottery and paintings by ‘outsiders’ and underrepresented groups. We made it to the V&A only 45 minutes before closing time so a quick tour only. My steps app recorded 16,725 steps yesterday.

Congratulations to your GD Harrigran.

Good news Gingster

Spring is moving slowly north - we will get a shock when we go back to the south coast on Wednesday.

Off to check out Broughty Ferry. Then to friends in Clackmannanshire - Scotland’s smallest county 🙂

Good morning all from a grey, dry at the moment Glasgow.

I awoke with signs and throbbing pain of a gum abscess. Typical it should appear at the weekend, I will top up pain relief until I can phone my dentist on Monday.

So happy to read your DD is home Gingster and your DGD’s reunion with her mummy, was powerful reading. 🥰
Enjoy your meet up today Baubles. I still haven’t visited that tenement despite saying I must do that one day.
Grandmabatty, so sorry for the loss of your dear friend. 💐

Have a good weekend everyone.

Good morning everyone from a cool windy Lancashire, it was raining earlier but seems to have cleared up now and the sun is shining. There is a steam gala at the railway museum this weekend and we have been watching the trains. Will go out again after lunch and try to get some more pics. Poor Mr.B has a cold so may stay home.

Yesterday I had an appointment with my cancer support team. It is 5 years now since my bowel cancer surgery. As my blood remains free of cancer markers and my scans are all OK Mr.P is going to discharge me back to my GP’s care. I celebrated last night with 2 glasses of wine .

gingster good news that your DD is home, hope she goes from strength to strength now.

Have a wonderful weekend all 🦩🦩🦩

It's been a very disturbed night with howling wind and heavy rain all night.Went to see gs open his birthday presents yesterday ,he is going to play gym tomorrow with friends . We have buds on our flowering cherry tree beautiful white blossom when it flowers . Gingster good to see your daughter is home .Hope everyone finds some sunshine this weekend.

That's good news Blossoming.

A late good morning to you all.

Just back from local shops, nothing planned for the day and looking at the weather it’s a sofa & kindle sort of day 🤣

So pleased your DD is back home Gingster I know you will now spoil her 🌸

Have a great Saturday folks 🙋‍♀️🦩

Good morning Mick and all from windy Sunnyside northwest coast.
Turned up at art yesterday to find our leader had a bad cold so I excused myself as I have singing coming up this week and catch things easily. Drawback was that I went shopping…

DD from south here and was out for childhood friends birthday party last night. Into city for family meal tonight.

Pleased for you Gingster and also Blossoming🌹
Here’s a pastel I prepared earlier.
