Ha ha! Thanks to your good advice, I've uploaded last night's image in number one slot. MacSporran set the camera on a timer. Well, it took three attempts to get the shutter to close at the right time. Third time lucky. This is a special Slainte to all my special Granspals.

I thought that we had already reached the 1000 messages. Maybe we haven't. Anyway...for when we do, here's the new extension. I'm making it warm and cosy and there are date slices to be enjoyed. Rory has claimed his corner of the sofa. 
Hello soop what a lovely photo of you both. Good to see you looking better after your illness. I wish you and your family all the best for 2014 and always 
Bellasnana And a very happy new year to you. 
Alie Bravo! You've every right to feel excited. Which reminds me, my washing machine should have been emptied a couple of hours ago. 
Just come in for a 
after visiting the sales (only local).
Bought two nice sweaters, some expensive what? £28 for a small eyeshadow,and paid the paper bill.
Ready for a mincie now TWENTY EIGHT POUNDS!!! it is nice though.
Bargain, Lona. Think how much money you saved
Lona your post made me chortle. 
Charleygirl I meant to thank you for the kind comment regarding the not-so-wee-man. His laughter and sunny disposition light up our lives.
The wind is howling outside the window. Vast waves. The ferry has been cancelled. We've tried to anchor the bird cherry tree with rope and a concrete block. It is swaying to and fro...would be sad to see it uprooted.
I've been so busy posting on other threads, haven't popped in here. But I have a tray of freshly baked cheese muffins ...
I had been thinking about starting a 'happiness thread' but then remembered ... there is one, in that kitchen!
This made me really happy yesterday - I was in Tesco looking for something on a shelf when a boisterous child of about 10 or 11 or so bumped into me in his clumsy efforts to locate the peanut butter. Simultaneously I noticed that he had Down's Syndrome and also had difficulties with co-ordination, and that he had his younger sister with him, and when I looked at her, she made eye contact and gave me the most, imploring, appealing, knowing look ever that said "Please be gentle with my brother". I stepped aside, helped them find the peanut butter (mum was bringing up the rear) and was rewarded with two gorgeous smiles. A happiness moment.
Grannyknot Thank you for sharing your heart warming story. It put a huge on my face.
Thank you, Agus. My friend who worked with me in Fowey, some thirteen years ago, gave me the top for Christmas. It has had a number of outings. The Per Una skirt is even older. A good value garment that can be dressed up or down.
I'm going to do myself an injury soon as I am popping into threads on here and also having a 3 way blether with my DDs. DD1 lives ten minutes from here and DD2 lives in Brisbane 
May I come in and hide please? I am so embarrassed as I had a hair appointment today at 4pm ( or so I thought). Was just about to leave when I checked my diary and realized I should have been there at 2pm. A senior moment or am I losing my marbles ?
Wouldn't worry about it Bellasnana. My DD has just mentioned missing an appointment so it's not just our generation. People have busy, busy heads, that's all. I put apps. On my calendar then a post it on the fridge --- and still forget
That post sounds rather strange ........ you stroke Rory is what I meant!
Lona Your post is fine. Stroking Rory is very relaxing. His purrs of pleasure are a bonus.
Welcome back OGM...pleased to see you reclining on the chaise longue. I've plumped up the comfy cushions for you.
Bellasnana ...Agus is right. We've all been there.
Dragonfly1 top of the morning to you.
It is a strange day. The air is still and the sea is placid. Yet, there appears to be another severe storm on the way [according to the weather person.]
About to drink a mug of fresh coffee. Did I dream it, or has bags dropped by with a plate of flapjacks?
I've not popped in for a while as it is always so busy such a popular and cosy place to be soop you have made it everyones second home from home 
There is some walnut slab cake on the counter for all to have with a when they feel inclined & a nice coffee cake just in case anyone has a nut allergy,you can tell I have got myself back into baking mode after the festivities. Enjoy !!
Agus I know the feeling well. I have a special voice for family members, I need to wear a fixed smile in order to do it justice. Coffee coming up. A date slice too.
glamma.Well now, walnut slab cake AND coffee cake. Perhaps a slice of both would be a good idea. How are you? It seems ages since I last saw you in the kitchen.
