Good morning Mick and all from a cool and grey Glasgow.
DH's golf has been cancelled. DH's golf partner had booked lunch for she and her husband, without telling her husband. The golfers are not best pleased, as their game was booked last week.☹️
So, DH has offered to take me down the coast to our favourite garden centre. A result for me, as I'm pretty fed up being stuck in and it won't be too strenuous. It may however, be expensive, as our miniature plum tree was killed by the frost last winter and I have plans.??
I did have a mainly restful day yesterday. I had two lovely surprises, which cheered me up no end.
A. Parcel arrived from Amazon and DH asked, What have you been buying now? ? I was perplexed. If it had been a clothes retailer, Yes, but Amazon? ?
It turned out to be an Italian cheese making kit sent by my new son in law to keep me out of trouble. As our Rome trip in a few weeks has been cancelled, he knew I would be disappointed at not being able to potter about the Rome food market, sampling all the cheeses. That man is a keeper!!!
Much to my surprise, DS2 arrived with his fiancèe, who was carrying a huge bunch of what I would call happy flowers. They were yellow and orange, so beautiful.
Now DS2 is the least demonstrative of my children, so he got double points for that!!!
Unusually for them, they were here for four hours. I happened to mention the photos of my DGD's first day at school had disappeared somewhere into the ether. I'm pretty good at troubleshooting and enjoy it, but I was flummoxed.?.
My son is a highly skilled IT person, (@ boasting mum), but even he couldn't find them.☹️
However, he did find issues with my PC and resolved them for FREE! ?? As he is a specialist, his rates are extremely high and we have saved a fortune over the years. ?
I got the usual, What have you done, mum?
He was stunned, when I had all the system and email (yes, I have more than one email address, don't worry GNHQ ?) passwords at my fingertips. I'm still haven't lost all my marbles yet!!!?
Desperate to keep me safe, we were dancing round my wee craft room, trying to avoid each other. My son kept wiping down the keyboard and mouse, so as not to compromise me. I think my children worry more about my safety than I do. However, I would really have loved a hug.☹️
He and my future DIL had been on the Harry Potter Express ?? and we're worried about passing on any infection to me, so had stayed away and hadn't visited us.
That trip has been on my bucket list for years. It seems that there have been lots of cancellations due to Covid, so who knows, I may get yet.
Time for me to get moving. I'm glad to hear your son is feeling better, but you won't stop worrying, until you see him safely home.
Have a good day, everyone.
