How are you all 'Glasgow Girls'? I cannot believe that it has been less than a week since the meet-up - Gransnet at its best. What a lot of water has gone under the Gransnet Bridge since then!
Here, on Wednesday, during the 2nd thunder storm of the day, the water did not go UNDER the Road Bridge over the burn. Instead it surged over, flooding everything downhill, including ancient Uncle's Care Home, which had to be evacuated. The Staff and Social Workers have been wonderful. They rapidly found alternative accomodation mainly in the Wee County hospital and later in other nearby care homes, keeping the residents together in their usual groups, with their usual staff. The oldies think they are having a holiday and all seem calm and happy.
Monday we set up the triple bunks in the back bedroom; Tuesday was my annual pre birthday shopping day out with my sister; Wednesday we were trapped indoors with torrential rain and floods, Thursday was track down and visit Uncle day, with a disasterous Quiz night to follow; Friday = school run x 2 + childminding; Saturday was DGD1's smaller than planned 5th Birthday Party, when 2 families (8 people) had to turn back as the motorway was in gridlock after a pile up.
Glad the meet-up is not tomorrow as I am frazzled. Hope you have all had a good week - sending you from the party - we will be eating the left overs for a week.
