Hello, I've just joined. Any other grans in Glasgow who would like to meet for coffee and a chat?

Marydoll hope that cold doesn't worsen and keep you away from the Concert Hall meet.Hot lemon with a wee drop of the hard stuff!

Marydoll Thu 14-Feb-19 08:54:10

I'm a tough old bird, it will take more than a cold to keep me away. I will wear a mask to keep my germs to myself! grin.
At least everyone will be able to find me: The lady in the white mask, with streaming eyes and barking like a dog !

Only kidding, I'm not that bad, looking forward to tomorrow. smile
We just need to confirm numbers.

I consider myself a tough old bird too Marydoll Always the one running about looking after others however, what started off as a sore throat on Tuesday soon became achy limbs and a high temperature which, although not flu I feel completely wiped out. Even drowning in honey/lemon/hot toddies hasn’t had the desired effect??

So disappointed I can’t make this one..

Marydoll Thu 14-Feb-19 10:42:55

Next time, perhaps? Hope you feel better soon!

Marydoll Thu 14-Feb-19 11:59:59

The confirmed list so far. Sorry to hear some grans are unwell. We will just need to have another one soon.

Craftergran and Bartsmaw, are you still coming?

Looking forward to the meet up, see you all later.
What a beautiful morning and NO rain!

Kalu Fri 15-Feb-19 09:33:41

Enjoy your meet up☀️?☕️

baubles Fri 15-Feb-19 09:49:19

Apologies folks but I’m going to pop over to see DD later. I’ll try very hard to make the next one.

Have a great time, I’m sure there’ll be no shortage of chat. Glasgow will be sparkling if the sun continues to shine. sunshine

Marydoll Fri 15-Feb-19 10:24:32

Sorry you won't be there, Baubles, but your daughter takes priority over a bunch of old grans! grin.
I hope your daughter is recovering well.
See you next time.

GrannyBear Fri 15-Feb-19 10:56:48

I’m REALLY sorry but I have to miss this afternoon’s meet up. DH fell last night and I have finally persuaded him to let me take him to A&E. At worst he’s broken a bone in his hand, at best it’s just a bruised and very painful thumb! Have a great afternoon, and please arrange another date to meet up soon!

Hope you all have a good blether this afternoon ladies, sorry not to have made it this time cafecupcake

jacq10 Fri 15-Feb-19 11:23:43

Morning - I'm on my way!! Enjoying a beautiful journey through Perthshire at the moment - Scotland at it's finest. Can't see keyboard for sunshine but that's not a complaint. I see we are down in numbers so if I tell you am wearing a flowery patterned coat maybe someone can give me a wave - I'll probably be last to arrive.

Marydoll Fri 15-Feb-19 11:28:39

Granny ear, I hope your DH is ok. Better safe than sorry. We will organise another one soon.
Its a beautiful day here in Glasgow. I'm going to force myself to have a wee bit of retail therapy first. ?

Marydoll Fri 15-Feb-19 11:29:49

Jacq, we will look out for you.

Jangran99 Fri 15-Feb-19 11:44:04

On my way??!!

GrannyBear Fri 15-Feb-19 15:04:45

Hi
Hope the Glasgow GNers are enjoying getting together this afternoon! I hope to be at the next meet up.
Good news about DH. He hasn’t broken anything, just severely damaged an already arthritic wrist ... painkillers and lots of TLC prescribed.
No criticism of NHS Crosshouse Hospital .. into A&E, seen by a doctor, X-rayed and reassured ... all in less than an hour. We’re so fortunate to have such good service at the point of need.

Bartsmaw Fri 15-Feb-19 16:50:08

Lovely afternoon at concert hall great chat with entertaining ladies. Look forward to the next meet up ?

Baggs Fri 15-Feb-19 18:08:38

Well, that was lovely! When's the next one? ?

Got my train easily and back in time for the five o'clock bus round the loch.

Kalu Fri 15-Feb-19 18:42:29

Good to hear you all had a lovely time but, no word from*Marydoll*......... what have you done with her.......is she still shopping in JL ????????

Marydoll Fri 15-Feb-19 19:02:10

Here I am! It's me, Marydoll You didn't think I would stay quiet for long, did you? grin
What a lovely afternoon, spent with lovely ladies. I had a great time and I'm looking forward to the next one.

I was involved in an incident on the way home. My tights kept falling down and half way down Renfield St, I realised they were at my knees. blush. I looked like my wee grandaughter, who always has a builder's b**.
However, there was no hiding place. Glasgow was "jumping", as they say. I dashed into a corner and surreptiously tried to pull them up, not realising that the dark corner was actually the smoked glass window of a restaurant and I was the entertainment.
I managed to get to Central Station, with my hand in my pocket, trying to hold them up.
Try doing that wearing a wrist splint, a carrying awalking stick and two bags. ?
Once inside the station, I realised I would just have enough time to sort myself in the loo, with minutes to spare before my train.
In I went, fumbled for coins, (Yes I'm one of those old ladies, who holds up the queue). I eventually located the necessary coins, when a voice shouted, "The turnstile is open, you don't need coins!".
I rushed in , raced to a cubicle and heard a lot of male laughter, directed at me.
I was in the gents! ?

Marydoll Fri 15-Feb-19 19:04:05

GrannyBear, glad to hear it's not as bad as you think.
I hope everyone got home safely.
We are hoping to meet up after Easter and hopefully there will be an Edinburgh one before that.

Baggs Fri 15-Feb-19 20:07:11

Oh, marydoll, that's superb! ?????

Sorry! (not sorry). Glad you fixed things sufficiently to get home.

Kalu Fri 15-Feb-19 20:51:07
