Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good pals and jolly good company.
Never mind the weather
Never mind the rain?
As long as we're together
Here we go again...
Welcome and please feel free to open the Bubbly and tuck into a virtual Magnum choc ice. 
Gin is safe from me, the strawberries are another matter.
Hmm, soop, I understand your disappointment and frustration and my first thought was hold out for September which is a superb month for a holiday. I then wondered if macs has indeed something up his sleeve. So what to do? If it happened here I would remind Mr C I thoroughly dislike surprises (true) then let that thought settle for a bit. If nothing came of that I’d casually wonder in front of good friends what we might do on our anniversary and look out for either smugness or guilt, if no further forward I’d explain (in an adult way, no foot stamping) why it meant so much to be away in September. After that I’ve no idea, sorry. I know you’ll deal with this calmly and the word that comes to mind is elegantly. Everything crossed here for the outcome you wish for.
greyd you deserve a medal. We were in the kitchen for all of 30 minutes today, gammon in the slow cooker dealt with itself and the veg took little time. I wouldn’t have managed more wimp that I am.
Thoroughly enjoyed my sit in the garden. Tomorrow I have coffee and lunch with a GN pal to look forward to, I know we won’t stop talking.
Stay cool if you can.
Morning all !!
From a slightly overcast and not so sultry Norfolk.
I agree with everyone else soop , if you have set your heart on a sept trip then you should go. I am away the last week in September ( my annual trip with my brothers and sisters) and its usually quite nice late summer weather .
Its true though , maybe MacS has something tucked up his sleeve???
Its a tricky one !!
Thought I would leave you with how world cup fever has taken over the little boys !!
Phew! one melting welshie falling into line!!1
soop further to what I said last evening...........and it seems echoed by the majority visiting the kitchen,Macsporran may well have his own Anniversary plans for you both but is keeping you in the dark............so please try discreetly digging deeply into what he has or may have planned.
As for a September break,no better month and were you wanting to travel further afield from bonny Scotland I can vouch for September here in Pembrokeshire as being idyllic..............mind you,who on earth would want to travel out of Scotland .........although yes my husband did!!!
No gin for me folks,even strawberries are not quite my thing,but I am scoffing cherries and nectarines as if there is no tomorrow.......whilsy I have been known to sneak another magnum during the night!!!
Whilst like you charley I love my coffee.
With the heat truly upsetting my equilibrium and everything else, I have been forced to visit the Surgery with these legs that are so swoollen they are puffing over my sandals,a Nora Batty touch............whilst the moment I lie down at night ...........not only the heat getting to me but I am trotting to the loo non stop...............well this fluid has to have some outlet after all!!!
Before I totally melt into a puddle I shall escape, but not before wishing you all a carefree day.....and those with cares may they be little ones only........
and yes more
soop sorry about my previous post when I said £20 was underpaid for 2 ½ hours ironing. Reading it back it doesn't come out as I intended. I should have put a 
at the end. What I meant was that I hate ironing so much I couldn't imagine doing others ironing at any cost. I didn't mean it offensively ?I do hope you have a special trip for your anniversary. You and MacSporrandeserve something nice.
Ann I wasted so much of my free time feeling guilty , relax and recharge I am going out now !
Oh happy day! Ta dah...
After wittering on about my silly disappointment, I waited until MacSporran and I raised our early evening glass of cheer and said...I'm very disappointed that the hoped for few days away to celebrate our anniversary will have to wait until the spring. Before I had time to finish, MacS took my hand and replied, I'm sorry that you're disappointed. It was just me thinking that spring might be a better time of year for going up into the Highlands. On reflection, I was wrong. We shall have our break and we shall enjoy it to the full. I wore a huge and that was that. Thank you for being kind enough to respond. As I've already said, in the big scheme of things, it's a piddlin' thing to get upset about. 
for you all.
Oh, a photo of Torben that has also made us smile.
Soop glad you and MacS have made your peace over the anniversary trip. And Torben looks a little charmer! We know all about those here!
We enjoyed the company of our Jekyll and Hyde GS this weekend. He was a lovely, helpful, good mannered and relatively quiet eleven year old until his parents turned up and then he was like a hyperactive puppy that you want to keep putting firmly in his basket! DH did get the water guns out (he is the big kid on the right!), which I hoped would have cooled both of them down!
N&G the boys look very cool in their England shirts. I did say to DH that if they won on Saturday I would relent and let him get a flag for the car ?♀️ but thus far he has been unable to find one! ??
Ann as others have said, make the most of every minute you have to do your own thing and don’t feel guilty about it!
Thinks: ? if you put strawberries in a gin and tonic does it count as one of your five a day? Answers on a postcard please...... I will look in later .
Greyduster Ha! Very funny. The photo made me smile. Boys and their toys...
