kitty I sent you [hugs] but 1000 messages later means that we need to open an extension.
It's been a strange day. Apart from worrying about the whereabouts of Greatnan I've not been very productive. The weather is behaving in an unsettled fashion. Inky clouds, Lashing rain. The promise of a brighter sky. Please keep coming to the kitchen. I would miss the company of you lot if you stayed away. 
Grrr!! 
- see what a state I am in!
I need lots of TLC, to say nothing of 
and [cake].
A couple of friends are being victimised by the manager in their volunteering roles and we've spent the day trying to formulate a cunning plan. 
What can I say? The waiting around at the garage for exchange of documentation and all that palarva was too boring for words. I didn't show it. 
I understood that Mr soop was thrilled by the exchange, so I sat back and chomped on humbugs. This is supposed to be a 500 calorie day. I must have already consumed double that, because we went for a coffee and huge, sticky flapjack and bought two date slices [one of which I've eaten without as much as a by your leave.] I think that men must feel equally jaded when wandering aimlessly around M&S. Mr soop assures me that he actually enjoys such outings. Well now, when's the next trip to Glasgow...
gracesmum "Hangy" is a beautiful name. anno is right. I've no idea what the fuss was all about. Suffice to say that, when my Granspals call by, they leave their argy-bargy banter outside the door. This is a peaceful home. 
Icyalittle Roger must have felt drained of energy when he played against Rafa. Mind you, he has the most amazing record. And, as you rightly say, he is one of the senior tennis players. I imagine it will be tough for him to reach the decision to "retire"...but not just yet. Tonight's match between Rafa and Novak promises to be a thriller. I would like Rafa to win. We shall see.
Charleygirl Mr soop is so enamoured by the lovely ladies on GN [because they all said such nice things about him on the occasion of his recent birthday] I'm sure that he'd love the opportunity to take you for a spin.
Agus my eldest son is 53. The middle son 50 and my youngest will be 40 next year. Three super sons. Seven super grandchildren. My heart's delight.
Lona many happy returns to your daughter. 
Soop was a child bride of course - how nice to have such a happy programme for a wet Monday in November!!! Now that the sofa has ben tested for Granny capacity - how many of us wll fit in the Fiat? (Sounds like one of those "how many elephants can you get in a Mini" jokes) I fancy a wee day trip ....!
PS I am enjoying a lovely cup of coffee with my humble pie cardamom shortbread and the world is beginning to look a better place !
Lovely to see you lot. Nellie the sofa is big and comfy and can accommodate all my Granspals. Mr soop has decided to purchase the Fiat from the nice man's dealership in Campbeltown. It's a special day today - son's 50th birthday, Rafa in the final at 7.30 this evening, and a low mileage/comfortable/well maintained car to collect. 
It's time for me to empty the washing machine and then we'll be on our way to Campbeltown.
I hate to rush away without meeting and greeting you all individually. However, needs must. Mr soop is all ready to go... I shall return after lunch. Be kind to each other. Feel free to slob relax and enjoy your refreshments.
absolutely!! DGS2 is always intitally a bit less forthcoming than his big bro, who at 3 1/2 is very articulate and sounds so grown up when he says Hello! but shortly after we arrived I felt my calves in a vice-like hug and I knew I was getting my first cuddle!! I am still "Hangy" to him, bless, and they are so gorgeous DH had to drag me away or I would have easily outstayed my welcome!!
gracesmum, forget the spleen vented by people who don't matter. You had everyone in the world that matters yesterday and they won't change.
Nellie I do hope you got some sleep on soop's sofa and today is a better one for you 
soop Today is my dd's birthday, so I am 'remembering' too! Best wishes to Tim, and love to you too xx
Nellie so sorry you had a bad day and hope today will be better for you. Let's get the coffee on.
Have a big (((hug))) nellie and what ever comfort food you fancy then cover yourselves in a fluffy blanket and snuggle down.
I'm ready for a nice then I'm off for a plotting meeting!
Rafa won in straight sets. It was a very exciting match. I have a and one of Ariadne's scones and I'm ready to take what promises to be an interesting sunset.
My middle son will be 50 tomorrow. During the afternoon prior to his birth, I started an almighty late spring clean. My mother found me on my hands and knees scrubbing the floor to with gusto. She said...baby won't be long now! Then Nurse Rowe, the local midwife, popped in. I was emptying the kitchen cupboards. She said...your mother's right, baby won't be long now. Off she went on her bicycle, returning not so many hours later to suggest that I hop into bed as baby was well on his way. I remember thinking - shouldn't it be more painful than this? Memories!
Good morning to you all. It would be difficult to do justice to the scene from the window. There is barely a cloud in the sky. Barely a ripple on the water. Sun is glinting on the shore-line rocks. I caught sight of an otter emerging from the water. He shook his coat and the drops of water looked like wee jewels in the sunlight. At eleven o'clock I stood in the sunshine for the two minute silence. Dozens of strands of spider web drifted through the still air. Each one seemed to represent a long lost soul.
bags there is a little plum wine left in the bottle. Shame to let it go to waste. Ariadne I shall a scone for the match between Roger and Rafa.
Lona I apologise. I meant to say that I'm so sorry to learn that your son is losing his sight.
Just popping in to say good morning.
No scones for me though - we are going for a John Lewis full English. A would he nice before we set off.
Delicious scones, thank you Ariadne good for breakfast but maybe I won't have the cream. What the heck, scones without cream, no way Cream it has to be mmmm. Hope you enjoy your day with the family.
