Good morning all, from a chilly Glasgow. Rain is expected on and off all day.
I had quite an uplifting day yesterday. I met with the lady (an old friend) I had an appointment with, to do the paperwork and we had such a lovely chat. Also, I bumped into my old neighbours, two sisters, who were delighted to see me. Because I have not been since the beginning of the pandemic, they had assumed something terrible had happened to me!
Finally, I gave the parish housekeeper the shock of her life, when I suddenly appeared from the office. She had no idea I was in there and I hadn't heard her letting herself in to the house! I don't know who got the bigger fright!
Her boys and my boys were school friends (She has seven boys and one girl!) We reminisced about the old days and put the world to rights. However, it was quite difficult to chat masked!
It made me realise how much I have missed my former life.
When I came home, MrMDoll had returned from the golf and was becoming increasingly worried at my late return. He should have remembered that I never go out, without meeting someone, chatting for ages and forgetting to come home!! ? I suppose it's been so long, he has forgotten.
I sat down with my lunch and promptly fell asleep, then spent the rest of the afternoon resting, putting the much needed cleaning of my range cooker on hold ( again)!!!
I knew I had overdone things, but it was so worth it. I was in great spirits.
I plan to make plum jam today, in my jam maker. The days of standing over my mother's jelly pan are long gone. However, as my hands are painful, I had the bright idea of putting the plums in my Magimix to chop them up. Unfortunately, I dropped the lid last night and took a chunk out of it. Back to the drawing board, I'm afraid. Oh and I have a replacement lid to order. ????
I hope that that GSomerset is in less pain and Harri is enveloped in the love of her family.
I am so envious of the train trip GDinosaur!
Mr MDoll has brought me a cuppa, so I shall settle back and read your posts.
Wishing you all the best day, pain and worry free if possible.
