Good morning all from a very sunny, but frosty Glasgow, it's-2 degrees. I love spring days like this!
Wishing GM the happiest of birthdays, I hope you have a lovely day.
Nothing much to report. Did a bit of steam cleaning yesterday, ( fool that I am) then fell asleep! The dining room floor was really annoying me! However, I then noticed the units were all needing some TLC. Perhaps today, then again perhaps not. There is an awful lot of glass.
I thought I would sit in the garden, (sitting is an enathma to me,) when a friend from church phoned, he is quite lonely, but can be very opinionated. Everyone is wrong and he is always right. I often have to bite my tongue, not easy ?
The last time he phoned, I told him I had to lie down, to get him off the phone, as he was becoming so argumentative.
He has a habit of phoning in the middle of mealtimes, which means dinner is late. It was very late last night and Mr MD was not amused.
Later I had to phone our new Parish Priest about some church business. He has apparently ruffled a few feathers, so I was dreading it, as I had never met him. Before shielding, I had been very involved in so much parish admin stuff, then of course, I was locked up and unable to do so!
Much to my surprise, he was very kind to me. (A lesson, not to listen to the gossips) .We talked for over an hour, as he wanted to pick my brains! Having gained a reputation for being aloof, to my astonishment, he came out of the blue, with this statement: My brother speaks very highly of you! I was like a child, who had been awarded a gold star for good work. ?
His brother, a teacher in our high school, and I used to work very closely with challenging pupils, who were transitioning from primary to secondary school. His brother was of a similar disposition, but I usually managed to win him round! ? How I miss those days.
Unfortunately I have got into a muddle with a bank account I am treasurer for, a small voluntary group. We used it to get grants for small community activities. Its so long since its has been used that the bank are going to suspend it, so we thought we would reactivate it.
Because it needs two signatories, a cheque was of no use, since I can't meet anyone, so I thought I could just transfer a donation online. Oh no, nothing is that simple. Back to the drawing board today and a telephone call to the bank! I'm not looking forward to that.
Hoping to hear from NanKate today. ? Wishing you all a peaceful and pleasant day, whatever your plans.
