Good morning all from Glasgow, where the sun is trying to peek through the clouds. It's 10°C.
Firstly, apologies for missing Auntiflo's birthday, yesterday. I hope you had a lovely day.
GM, I would join that WhatsApp group, you having nothing to lose and it may help you make new friends.
Greyduster, the first thing I remember about you, when I had just joined GN, was that you loved fishing. I hope you have an enjoyable day.
Yesterday, turned out to be better than expected. I was doing as ordered and rested after going to Mass, when DH asked if I would like a trip to the local nursery for begonias. He has an obsession with them and they must be double headed for his hanging baskets.
The nursery was heaving with elderly, grumpy people with the same idea. It was a bit like fighting over the last turkey at Christmas! The plants were flying off the shelves.
I took myself out of the arena, for fear of being knocked over.
DD's village is near to the nursery, so I asked DH if we could make a detour, to drop some things off.
I had forgotten they didn't work from home on a Monday, until I saw their bins blocking the drive.
DH sorted the bins, while I had a nosey at their new greenhouse. It was then I noticed the washing on the line.
Despite years of intensive training, my darling, messy daughter 😍 has never mastered the art of hanging out washing.
Everything was crammed on the one part of the rotary dryer and not drying, it was listing to the one side, like Gourock. ( A Glasgow saying),
DH was horrified when I started interfering rearranging it. 😱
I got back into the car, when I noticed a message from DD. I had totally forgotten they had security cameras. I would make rubbish burglar! 😂
Last night, I was sitting ruminating on what to do about the tooth, with a very old filling, which had just crumbled, when eating dinner, 😱, ( and predicting another crown) when the doorbell rang.
Assuming it was yet another Amazon parcel for DH, I hobbled to the door. (He was nowhere to be seen).
To my utter surprise and delight, a wee, cheeky face was peering through the glass.
DIL, realising I wasn't feeling great yesterday, had suggested to DS that they popped down. It was so lovely to get cuddles.
The only problem was, Dollie thought she was here for the duration and refused to go home!
Late afternoon, I have a bone scan in a Glasgow hospital, which I don't usually attend. The last time I was there, was when I needed anti viral infusion for Covid.
The timing of the appointment means that we will be caught in the rush hour traffic in the Clyde tunnel, DH is fretting already.
I used to blithely do all these trips on my own, when we were both working. Sadly, now I can't manage without DH.
My thoughts are with your daughter Gingster and Baubles and family. I made Mass yesterday morning, ( albeit a few minutes late), so prayers were offered up.
Safe journey Ash and to all who are travelling or out and about.
Have a good day, folks.
