April in Edinburgh

Baubles we can compare notes! But not yet - I read and listened to almost all of it, then DS came in, bringing my meal (He's a good lad) and by the time he went away again just now, it had all slipped out of my mind. I shall start again tomorrow and take notes - I did remember something while I was eating that could be a clue - the direction the car was facing - but I am not starting again tonight. I am off to bed. If I forget that detail, I can look back here again for it. Tomorrow is soon enough. We have a week before part two starts, and it will all be there to refer back to.

I must take a look at "The mind is flat". Mine is worse than flat at the moment, concave would be a better description.

Elegran I've just started that one, it looked so interesting, I was sucked in.

Baubles and Elegran.....That's really good to know...Thanks!
I'm aware that I can get carried away with my own enthusiasms...which not everyone shares
I'd be interested to know how you both get on.
I was interested in the Devolved Elections one too, Baubles...but will be away for a chunk of the course.
Re. the murderer, Elegran....my opinion changed over the 6 weeks....and I was quite surprised at the final vote....'Nuff said/No spoilers

The "Introduction to forensics" started today. Sitting at the laptop doesn't involve speaking, so I have done most of week one. A murder has been committed and we will get more evidence each week until week six, when we have to vote on the murderer. I have an opinion already on whodunnit, but that may change as more details emerge.

I recommend it - and it isn't too late for more people to sign on.

Geminijen thank you for the introduction to MOOCS. I've signed up for two; 'Scotland and Wales Vote 2016: Understanding the Devolved Elections' and also 'The Mind is Flat'.

There are plenty of others I'd be interested in too.

Yes katek and thatbags, I eventually posted, but you have no idea how long it took me to type with the one finger, really must get a keyboard! Was lovely meeting you all, and I'll keep working on Linda and get her to join us.

Hope you start feeling better soon, elegran

bellasnana, Yes! Count me in ???

Lovely to meet you, gherkin, and your pal. Have you persuaded her to join Gransnet yet? Hoping to 'see' more of both of you on the threads.

You've posted Gherkin...woohoo!! Was lovely to meet you and Linda on Friday.

Hopefully count me in!!

Elegran, coorie doon in your bed with your hot water bottle and book. Take it easy?
The time just flew in the other day, and I so wish I'd mingled a bit more and had a chat with more people! Hopefully we'll get together again soon.
Bellasnana, it would be great to meet you in July - I'm sure we'll have quite a few wanting to join in! I think I'm free then, anyway.

Get well soon Elegran

Hello everyone. Just like to say a big thank you to all for making the Two Lindas so welcome to our first gransnet meeting and a special thank you to Elegran for a most enjoyable day. What a lovely friendly bunch of people you are, so here's to the next time! Feel better soon Elegran.

Oh Elegran, so sorry you're feeling poorly. Get Well Soon.

Take care Elegran hope you feel better soon. Have a well deserved rest, you worked so hard.

Oh no Elegran , hope it's not catching as I am sure quite a few of us hugged you on Friday. Rest up and get well soon.

So will I. Off back to bed now, with the Kindle and a box of tissues. Have cancelled lunch out with DS and DiL.

Indeed Geminijen!
I'm up for a lunch or similar Bellasnana. Will be looking out for your thread!

Elegran.
So sorry to hear that you're under the weather
Back to bed with the Sunday papers, a hot drink and any goodies left over from Friday
I talked on the phone to my 4 year old grandson yesterday (the chickenpoxed one) and he announced rather forlornly that 'the poxes are all over me, even on my willy...'
So, it could be worse......

Elegran,so disappointed at missing you all! Am better today, no food for 3 days!
So sorry to hear you have dreaded lurggy, I felt absolutely terrible and ended up on antibiotics!

Geminijen I think it is the dreaded lurgy. Yesterday I woke with a sore throat and a headache, and I couldn't get warm all day, in spite of pilng on jumpers. Went to bed in the afternoon with paracetamol, a hot-water bottle and an extra blanket. This morning, not quite as bad once I had taken more tablets, but throat is starting to feel bad again - it must be four hours since the medication. Time to take more.

Stake your claim, Bellasnana! Why not start a thread a month or so before you come, asking who would like to join you? I am sure you will get replies from several people.

Looks as though a good time was had by all. Will be in Edinburgh first week of July if anyone wants to repeat the experience. Would love to meet some Gransnetters

Back home safe and sound after another great Edinburgh meet up. Thanks as always to Elegran for her organisational skills and hard work, not the mention the science lesson!

Lovely to see friends old and new.

Thank you Marmight for your hospitality once again, I think I'm going to spend the rest of the day "resting my vocal chords" - they've had quite a workout.
