Morning Mick and all from a verrrrrrry wet Glasgow.
However, it could have got even wetter. I heard what I thought was torrential rain during the night,, it was not. DH had left the bathroom tap running! He has of course, denied it was him!. ?
After being on a downer yesterday, the day turned out to be a very pleasant one.
I had just finished my lunch, when my neighbour phoned across to say that she and my other friend were going for a walk, did I feel up to going with them? The plan was to keep to the two metre rule, go over the field and explore the huge derelict factory site, which had been my friend's place of work, before her marriage.
I jumped at the chance, as I haven't felt up to going out for days.
They couldn't believe the irresponsible difficult route DH and I took the other week and showed me the gentler one. My friend spent ages, trying to work out where her office had been. I discovered loads of bramble bushes, wild raspberries and quite a few wildflowers. Poor DH hasn't realised yet, he will be going bramble picking in the Autumn.?
The best part, they walked at a slow pace, I could manage, unlike DHs sprint
My friend took a picture of me in the undergrowth as a train roared past high above my head. I was going to post it, but I didn't recognize that wee, dumpy and frumpy wifie, who looked very much like my late mother. It certainly wasn't me! ?
The plan was to find the shortcut under the railway which would take us to the school our grandchildren are starting in August. It takes over 30 minutes to walk there, but ten at the most over the field. My friend doesn't drive and I can't help, as I don't have an extra car seat.
The area is so vast and overgrown with bushes and trees , we still haven't found the shortcut. That adventure is for another day.
Just before dinner, my DD and her fiance unexpectedly arrived with the wood for raised vegetable beds I couldn't get delivered. They are very thoughtful.
I have wanted to do it for a few years, but DH kept putting me off.
The day was was completed to perfection. We heard a banging at the back door and a fishwife could be heard shouting, Gran and papa, where are you? It's me!!. My son had made yet another surprise visit with my wee DGD. I wept tears of joy!
Life at that moment, couldn't be better.
In my dream last night, I received a gold, embossed certificate from Kittylester. I haven't a clue ? what it was for, but thanks anyway, * Kitty!* ?
Safe journey tomorrow Pantglas and Scentia I bet you are glad you have finished your assignment.
Take care everyone, especially Bluesapphire, who I hope is feeling a little better. ?
