Where is it phoenix - I've not done it!

Done it, as well phoenix. Good luck!

Ah - The Parting Glass does sound a tender song, Grandmanorm. 'Ae Fond Kiss' was my favourite of Burns' songs.
I'd love to see Dougie McLean again.

Thank you Gally !

Must admit, I do like the "no spring chicken" one, but the artwork seems familiar, or perhaps it's just that I've seen something similar before.

Don't think that I stand a chance of winning now, but I was rather pleased with the way that Mr.P represented my idea. It was supposed to capture a whole load of things about us members and the sort of Gransnet ethos!

Marelli not folksy. Apparently The Parting Glass was the precursor to Auld Lang Sine.
Dougie McLean is going to be in Perth concert Hall this month but tickets are very expensive!!!
Hero is sung by Family of the Year and Ho Hey by The Lumineers.
I hasten to add I have no connection whatsoever with any of the composers.

Grandmanorm - are they 'folksy' Dougie McLean sort of songs? Used to listen a lot to that sort of music.
And Gally, I'll resemble a bloomin' gatepost if I carry on like this....a really solid one!!

The chocolates, the pillow or the Leven Singers?

I believe they are not what they are cracked up to be and a waste of money Sorry!

Follow the Heron, The Parting Glass, Hero and Ho hey.
First two are being sung by Leven Singers, second two given to me by number one son.
I still keep logging on though for news.

Petallus YOU ARE WORTH IT

Ahem, yes I know I said that and I did, but that was between you me and the gatepost Marelli

I want to buy a silk pillow case because they are said to be good for the complexion and hair doesn't go frizzy overnight. However one costs £35!

Someone tell me I'm worth it"

Which songs, Grandmanorm?

Dun it Phoenix

And you know how big the box of chocolates was, Gally......though you said your box was bigger - and you ate most of THEM!!

Keep listening to the same four songs over and over again.

Or setting the breadmaker going with no water in it - oops!

Ahem, if you haven't already voted in the tea towel competition, I could do with more votes! Virtual chocolate, wine and cake for all!

D'you know, because the whole tenor of GN has changed during the last week, I haven't read one nasty, uncomfortable post. We are all pulling together - how good is that? And how sad is that? Oh s**t, my boiled egg is now hard boiled. B****r. Looks like another bloomin' avocado for my supper.......
Marelli
Definitely time to find the corkscrew.......

Went to soft play with Dd and DGS and the noise was horrendous. Glad to be home and now taken paracetomol. DGS loved it.

How many times looking in the oven can a chicken be not quite cooked??!

Feeling more than a bit low - no good news about Carol, dismal Friday afternoon, spin dryer still bu**ered, so went to John Lewis to collect an internet order I had made and there was nothing for it - had to buy a new lippy. You know the feeling? I hardly ever wear lippy and the handbags are full of unused, but it was what I needed to pick myself up.
Worked.

, Bags! Anyway, DH did have one chocolate.....

Mopping the floor and accidently smashed a bottle of Proper Job real ale, balancing on top of the fridge.House now smells like a seedy old pub.

Yes - I've left the paddle out - just once! Also forgot to add salt once -- ooh, glad you mentioned this as I had forgotten my bread was ready an hour ago and I hadn't taken it out! -- and without salt the bread is curiously bland and unpalatable.
