What is the best thing that has happened to you today.

It was lovely to meet Elegran and Glass! We had a really nice lunch in an Italian restaurant on George Street. Gally and I have met up a few times now, and always have so much to talk about!
It would be so good to have a 'gathering' of those who would like to meet up. It wouldn't just have to be those who post regularly, but could also be those who only post sometimes and those who 'lurk' as well.
Nanaej, it would've been lovely to have had you with us today!

If only I had been coming through Edinburgh today instead of tomorrow! I'll be on my way to Dundee by train, past your homes, green and Gally. One day I'll get off and meet you.

Aww Thanks Edinburgh GNs I have a friend in Leith so if I'm up to see her I will let you know! Was up in April for a party at the Cricket Club on Leith Links!

...the fence that someone left in my front garden this morning [I did ask them to bring it round for me] DIDN'T fall on my car when the wind blew it over. There was a rusty hinge that would have caused a huge scratch down the bonnet .....

Oh, how fantastic that you all met up. I bet our ears were burning! Did you sort us all out green? What great fun. I'm looking forward to meeting up with a couple of Gransnetters next month. Haven't we had some nice times in the last year?

We had a good old natter, when, and time flew in so quickly! Please, Annobel, nanaej, and anyone who is able to, let us know when you're coming this way? It really would be so nice to meet up.

Who needs to win the lottery, I have just had an e-mail from Tesco informing me that I have a clubcard voucher that I had forgotten about and had not used and it is due to expire at the end of June. The voucher is for £10 so tomorrow I will be buying a few and .
It doesn't take much to please me !

Yes Annika it is the little things that keep us going! Enjoy

Talking of wine, has anyone tried the Aldi Toro Loco Tempranillo that was in a few papers last week? It's £3.59 and was awarded a silver in a competition which likened it to the quality of Barolo or a good Rioja that would cost around £30. We tried it at the weekend and it's really nice. They had plenty in stock, so will look for some more when I go shopping.

Thanks for recommendation, when. Have emailed it to my son as well. I hope he has some in for next weekend.

We've got ...

Here's too an enjoyable four days of celebrations and patriotism and waving in general

I am envious of those who have met up. I live in central London, and I don't think there are any others. however if anyone has any time here I would love to meet. I am coming to Glasgow in middle of August, maybe I could meet up with others then? meanwhile Happy [fla]

I have just got back from a very long, very steep walk up to the crest of the ski slopes. I hadn't been able to take my usual walks for two weeks because I had my sister with me and I was really missing the exercise. The sign at the steepest bit at the start said it should take 35mins and I did it in 28 mins. My heart was beating a bit faster than normal but it soon slowed down after I got to the top. I then walked for another two hours in the sunshine, trying to count all the different kinds of wild flowers - I will have to look up some of them which are specific to this area.
When I got back, I found Private Eye and The Thread in my mail box! Now to sit out on the balcony and have a good read!

I have had a text from DIL to say that their sea-crossing was the calmest ever, with two children to look after and normally very seasick, this is good news. I then got a text to say they had arrived at their destination safely. I am really very blessed to have a DIL who keeps me in the loop, and stops me worrying.
