Beautiful morning here in Dunblane with blue skies and sun. I am not an early riser so don’t know if there was haar earlier or not. Had a lovely 24hrs away in Edinburgh to see the Drifter’s Girl the singing was very good and the songs took my Dh and I back to our youth! Some of the diction however wasn’t very clear. Stayed over in a hotel close to the theatre. It was a lovely Xmas gift from Ds and DdiL. Our daughter who had driven us to the station the day before with a small overnight bag was rather taken aback when picking us up from the stationyesterday, as we appeared with two full sized cases. We need them for our upcoming River cruise as our old ones are getting a bit “tatty”. We had taken the opportunity to pop into TKMax on the way back to Waverly! It is actually quite difficult to find places to buy suitcases around here and I like to see them rather than buy online old fashioned I know. Hope all the poorlies and those with worries find something to smile about today.

Good morning from a sunny NE.
Covid booster this afternoon, hopefully this one won't be cancelled at the last minute.
Premium bonds came up trumps again this month.
Have a good day.

Scalpal, I once got separated from DD, SIL and DH in Edinburgh. I was erroneously accused of being in TKMaxx. We still refer to it as TKMaxxgate..
I was actually sitting on a windowledge across the road having an angina attack, but the tracker showed I was in TKMaxx.

I’m late. Stayed up too late watching tennis then could not sleep.
Lovely and sunny in the north of Scotland today so a day outside gardening and the hopefully evening meal too.
I have been on the phone for a long time waiting for the surgery to answer and finally have an appointment in person for the end of next week. No I do not want a phone call as i do not want to photograph all the areas that need looking at😤.
Off to treat ourselves at the local cafe after the effort of phoning the surgery and being polite.
Have the best day you can everyone.
Bellasnana. Some exciting matches 🎾

I’m late too!! Cut and colour this morning then home to order a new IPad to collect later today. Fun and games when I try to set it up I imagine.
I’ve had no time to read your posts so I’ll start over lunch.
Hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

The first time I flew, GMB was during the night on a Dan Air Comet. There was thunder and lightening for the whole journey. I was sure I was going to die!

When we lived in Jersey, CI, DanAir was the only airline to take us to the mainland. Horrible…. It was dubbed “DanDare” by the cognicenti!

My dearest friend was once a Dan Air stewardess, the tales she has told are mind boggling to say the least.

It was known as "Desperate DanAir" when I was growing up. An ex school acquaintance came up to a friend and I in town letting us know she was now an[ air hostess with that airline in a bragging sort of a way to which friend replied "oh sorry that's not good, I'm sure you'll find something better soon "shock
