Edinburgh theatre visit in December

Sequence and sparkles it is baubles like a fairy on a tree. X

I dread to think of what you might be wearing under your coat, Elizabeth1 !! Thank goodness it's not a fur one!

Ha ha ha You never know

Hi all, hope you have a great night out. I`m sure you will. Sorry in a way I wont be joining you but I just hate being out at night! Maybe a lunch again some time?

Where's our organiser?

I am recovering from moving around every single thing in the garage twice.

A few weeks ago I got rid of some decrepit old cupboards that stood across the back wall out there. The chance came up suddenly, so I had no chance to empty them efficiently, just had to turf everything out and pile it up against a side wall.

Tuesday - was having a mooch around Barnado's furniture charity shop and saw an ideal set of wooden shelves - 6ft wide. Went home and measured across garage - 9ft 4 ins - measured the good cupboard still remaining - 3ft 3 ins. Room for both across back wall with an inch to spare. Bought shelves, to be delivered today.

Yesterday - bus to B&Q, bought white paint. Cleared floor right across back of garage to 4ft deep. Painted back wall and 4 ft of side walls. Mixed up mortar and filled various holes where walls meet floor so as to discourage spiders.

This morning - emptied good cupboard, everything on top of previous pile. Got neighbour to help me shift cupboard to back wall and shove bits of wood under one side to try to make it stand up straight (floor dips several inches in the middle) Put everything back in that cupboard. Realised I should check that there is 6ft left for shelves. THERE IS 5 FT 11 AND A HALF. Shelves would have to stand against side wall where everything is piled up. Moved it all out onto drive, swept floor, swept down cobwebs on wall, mixed up mortar to fill holes where side wall meets floor.

This afternoon - Considered taking bus to B&Q to buy more paint but shelves bound to arrive if I went out and anyway I was knackered. Moved everything back in but this time stacked by category and with quite a lot of it in the bin. Shelves arrived and were put in position but on a slope due to dip in floor. Did NOT level them up or put things on them as the wall behind them is still not painted, and anyway I was knackered.

What was it you wanted?

Bloomin' 'eck Elegran. You should sit down with a and forget about paint for a bit

Tomorrow no doing anything. No painting for a few days at least. No chance of getting to B&Q until at least Monday anyway. When I do get there I want grey floor paint to cover up the stained floor as well as more white paint for the walls, but a tin of paint is surprisingly heavy to cart around, and one in each hand is twice as heavy. You car-owners don't know you're born.

Elegran, you'll look like an orang-utan (not really, of course - it just rhymed nicely ) if you carry heavy tins of paint in each hand!! I think I've had a heavy day if I've done the hovering....!!

HOOVERING - not 'hovering' - (silly Marelli)!

It makes it difficult to find your buspass too.

O my goodness elegran superhuman fit you must be. Be careful and dont knock your pan in as they say. Is this all for starting the new year afresh?I've been away for 4 weeks now 3 weeks holiday and 1 week working away from home to pay for the next one. I'm going across the Forth rail bridge this very minute and what a sight - beautiful. I'm looking forward to seeing you all next week. Give yourself a rest now elegran why because you deserve it

Lunch in town at the Overseas League today, getting into practice for the 18th. Princes Street is heaving.

Looking forward to our get-together!!! tchsmile tchsmile
Don't overdo it now Elegran

OK, what happened to my Christmas smile then?

did you forget the brackets

Only a week to go. Is everybody happy??? Hi di Hi!!!

Almost time to consider January, so I have started a new thread about that.

Yes, Elegran - very happy and so looking forward to next week and meeting everyone again . We'll need to organise times?

Look forward to seeing you all
May

Looking forward to seeing you all on Thursday 18th shall we meet at the theatre for 1.30ish for the 2pm start. It'll all be great fun with dinner afterwards yum yum

Think we might need a taxi from the station it looks a bit of a distance away (for me that is) we can always meet at the railway station any ideas where?

Just as well I had a look at this thread and realised I'd written down the date as the nineteenth instead of the eighteenth! Aargh! It's definitely the 18th, isn't it?

Thursday 18th thatbags and there's discussion now about where we can perhaps meet up before hand for a wee refreshment. Is everyone up for that?

Yep! Definitely

I shall walk to the theatre though cos I'll have been sitting enough on trains and will need a leg stretch.

Is it the Festival Theatre...
My train gets in at 11.32 I'm up for meeting before hand for a wee
