Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good friends and jolly good company.
Never mind the weather
Never mind the rain
As long as we're together -
Woops we go again.
WELCOME! 
Hi GrannyandGrampy! No, my parents all called me Eggy as a child as I loved eggs, and usually managed to get them all over including my hair. I did grow out of that but the name stuck. And those of my family who are still with us still use it! When I came back to Gransnet (yesterday), I couldn't remember the name I used, I do now,it was Goldengran, hey ho back to eggs. Is anyone else still called by a family nickname?
Away but not away ?
Still got all the home comforts, including 
Glad its not just here then Morethan - its still grey and getting dark now :-(
Welcome Grannyeggy ! Dare I ask how you came about that name? Is it what your grandchildren call you. My Mum is fondly remembered by my children as 'Nana Poncey' ! Not for THAT reason but because they couldn't say Portsmouth when they were small and that's what came out .
Charley you would love these boys ( some not so young LOL) they have worked flat out apart from stopping to share their lunch with Sam after his bath !! And are just now shutting down for the day as the next job is roof work and needs to be made waterproof straight away.
I know what you mean Maw - timed this work badly !! Your trip out sounds just the ticket and one thing a day that uplifts you has to be worth doing.
What if you actually cook the carrot first Grey? Or does that defeat the whole purpose of it. I just open a carton :-)
Travelling home or away Pinto ?
I just finished some baby vests for our youngest builders new arrival - thought Id share them with you lot x
Praline finished
Waving at you lot. Travelling day today so an early start, now catching up. You know what they say, a change is as good as a rest.......rest, fat chance
I definitely need
I saunter into the kitchen thinking...I'll play catch-up as I drink my coffee. Fool! There isn't a hope of doing any such thing. Why not? You lot never seem to take it easy. It's all go, go, go and before I can draw breath, go, go, go again. And lovely you are with it.
morethan I'm delighted that the consultation with your daughter went well. The news is uplifting. Just perfect for the start of a new year.
Hello, GrannyEggy1, you are very welcome. Don't worry about forgetting a few user names. There are times when I forget who I am. I need to come here for reassurance. 
Galen Listen up! Get thee to a comfortable chair and chill. Maw is right. You do FAR too much. Thank goodness for the support of Bella on that recent boating trip. It's what friends do. As for objectionable folk...I would politely ask to be served at a different table. In fact, I would have been happy as larry seated at a table for two. Surely there was a far corner in which you could have been tucked away from the madding crowd.
N&G Those builders deserve gold stars. You are creative. Fashion one each with a ribbon and pin on to their dungarees once the job is completed. I dare you.
Greyduster It's the way you 'em. I'm chuckling away as I read about your so-called-smoothie.
Charleyg I dare hardly ask...have the builders still not completed the work? I don't believe it!
It's bright and sunny and the air is crisp. A lovely day in every way.
Getting confused by cancellations, appointments and re-appointments! Appointment with rheumatology nurse today cancelled (I think she has flu); re-arranged for next Tuesday; so cancelled hair appointment at same time; hair can now be done this afternoon as the hairdresser had a cancellation. I will, unfortnately, miss Edwina Currie addressing our U3A on Tuesday on the subject of 'growing old disgracefully'.
Hermes brought me my new Hotter shoes which, regretfully, I am returning because at size 5, wide, they are too big and too wide. That size has always been just right for me but my feet seem to have shrunk. 
Has anyone else here had shrunken feet after losing weight?
Six new nice young men, I mean builders N&G !
Not the weather for topping up their tan alas, you should have had them in July 
There should be something satisfying about having work done on one’s home but poor Charleygirl’s recent ongoing nightmare could occasion second thoughts!
I have just come back from a wonderful illustrated lecture /talk on Klimt at our local NADFAS and I’ll never look at The Kiss in quite the same way again. The speaker was so good he could have made reading out of the Yellow Pages interesting and I realise I need to get out every day as I have come home feeling quite “uplifted”.
Might try for a haircut now.
Really pleased for you all morethan, breathe now.
Florentines? Yum. We had some, didn’t last long
That baby is just edible soop, I’m sure her dad doesn’t need sleep
Think the lurgy has arrived here, oh dear, stand by for lots of complaining. I’m not a patient patient.
Take care everyone.
