Today I've been mainly.........Vol. 5

Mr M Mother own up, you have got soop worried all will be forgiven

soop I bet you made her day when you were praising him to the hilt.

soop psst I hope she didnt read the hospital party thread

Praising my surgeon to the hilt, was a priviledge. He really is a thoroughly decent member of the medical profession. Not only does he make his patients well...he makes them laugh. And we all know that laughter is the best medicine.

glass Shh! Don't stir...

Lovely pics soop, it's really nice to put faces to names on here, and you and Bags are both gorgeous!

Never mind the hospital party thread, glass! Wasn't there mention of a Mr M possibly attending Bags's garden party in the altogether.....?

Feeling manic, but back in the land of the living....... just!

soop and B - great photo.

Had a busy time at CAB but had to leave early to spend an hour in the dentist's chair having two crumbling teeth rebuilt. Right side of face is still completely numb and have just dribbled tea down my front.

Hooray! This weeks work is over. If I EVER say I've agreed to 4days tribunals again, take me out and shoot me! I'll obviously have lost the plot completely!

anno - Hope you stop dribbling soon! ..... and that all will be comfortable.

Thanks, Butty. I'm not risking soup! Simply having pasta with pesto for evening meal.

Annobel Chocolate cake is very soft and soothing!

Annobel I once went straight from the dentist to a bowl of mulligatawny soup with a half-numb mouth. Vary odd sensation.

jeni

Annobel hope you can manage your pasta

Well I'm exhausted!
I'm to bed!
Four days is at least one too many!
I'm starting to think its time I retired! (again)
Perhaps il feel better after my jubilee trip on QM?

When are you off on the QM?

5 June!

Oooh, not long to wait!

Thank goodness. I rally do need the break!

chrissy, I just restrained myself from stopping off at Waitrose for something soothing! And when, the pasta went down a treat - inside me, not down my shirt.

Annobel

Getting DD sent off to her Transition Sports Day at the high school she will attend from August. It's blowy and wet outside at the moment so I hope some of their day will be indoors. This evening she's supposed to be dinghy sailing. If the wind doesn't lessen a bit, I think the options will be a land-based sailing lesson or lots of capsizes and wet kids. She'd be OK as she has a drysuit but most of them wear wetsuits. The water in Loch Long is not warm. By September it will be at its warmest, but even then you don't want to be dunked for very long. Oh well.....

That's half the fun of sailing. When my dh and I used to sail merlin rockets in the seventies, we would sail the frostbite season without wet or dry suits, just trousers sweaters and anoraks! Oh! And the old Mae west life jackets!

Bags for DD...

Well girls and boys, an enormous box was delivered moments ago. I'm over the moon with it's contents. The goodies include a special Gin [far too strong for the likes of a little old lady]... fab selection of chocs [wish I could share] evil and eight marvellous books. The Good Granny Guide had me chortling from page one.

THANK YOU Josie, Cari and Geraldine ...you have made my day I am tickled pink!

Mr soop says maybe we should buy shares in Gransnet, given that Facebook is about to make somebody rich beyond the dreams of avarice [which we're most certainly not!]
