Is it time to meet up again? Any views on where/when/what? Any interesting ideas?

Coming home from Inverary, Baubles and I passed a cinema in Glasgow which relays stuff videod from live theatre/opera/concerts - I forget the name of it. Or for live opera - Scottish Opera are putting on Carmen at the Festival Theatre in Edinburgh in November www.scottishopera.org.uk/our-operas/15-16/carmen

Or just a lunch or coffee.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

We will be down to 8 - but still enough to do a lot of chatting.

Marelli Fri 06-Nov-15 18:28:35

Back up to 9 - see you tomorrow!smile

See you all tomorrow.

After all that looks like I can't join you today. Drat and double drat. Am sure you'll all have a great time. Only sorry I won't be there.

Aw, shucks, jane10! You'll have to update me on the grabby grandma story another time wink

Well, we were sadly depleted what with conjunctivitis, families and train chaos, but those who could be there made up for it in volume, and I am just back (7 pm) from "afternoon coffee" with Katek whose travel times didn't get her here in time for lunch.

In between I bought a top like Marelli's, a poncho, two hats and two pairs of gloves. She led me astray showing off her bargains.

Sounds like you had a good time and good shopping. I had (quite) a good time with a very snotty 2 year old.

Marelli Sat 07-Nov-15 22:08:30

We did have a really nice time! Thank you, Elegran, for sorting us out again. smile

Thanks from me too, Elegran.....Really enjoyed meeting up...
and putting faces to names smile

Katek Sun 08-Nov-15 10:31:44

Thanks for your company for our 'afternoon coffee' Elegran. I had a lovely afternoon.

Elegran Sun 08-Nov-15 10:52:04

It was so nice to meet Geminijen again, and Katek. I do hope Janeainsworth is recovering. It sounded nasty.

Elegran Sun 08-Nov-15 10:52:44

Were you late for dinner, Katek?

Katek Mon 09-Nov-15 17:45:15

We weren't booked until 7.30 so I had plenty of time. I didn't realise how long we'd been talking until my brother hove into view....!!

baubles Mon 09-Nov-15 18:28:04

Thanks again Elegran, another great get together. Smashing to meet you GeminiJen & sorry I couldn't manage along for afternoon tea Katek, maybe another time.

GeminiJen Mon 30-Nov-15 17:24:15

...Belated response...I've been away....
You too, baubles!
Also, I think some of you were planning to see The Winter's Tale?
I saw it last week at Cineworld. Excellent! Judi Dench just gets better and better smile
