Marydoll DrKildare has prescribed a glass of wine for you tonight ?
Thanks, there is always the next time. We are a friendly bunch. Enjoy your holiday when it come.☀️?️
PS Marydoll. All good wishes for your recovery, take it easy.
Thankyou very much Marydoll. I didnt know about the lunch. I shall be just back from a week in Spain on 27th and I have a volunteer duty on 28th so apologies. I hope you have a good lunch though.
Good morning Martha, I see you live in the Edinburgh area. You would be very welcome at the Edinburgh lunch on Fri 28th September. It's in Princes Street.
Thank you everyone for all your good wishes.☺️
A late good morning all.
Sunny, breezy and cool in Kent.
Food shop today, and it won't be my usual basket as DGSx2 arrive for the week on Monday
It's 18mths since we were last able to see them.
I hope the re-marking gives the deserved result.
Have acgood day everyone.
Good morning everybody. It's been a while since I popped in to say Hi. Yes the air is turning now, soon be wearing footwear around the house again. It's cool but pleasant along The Forth but lovely clear view of The Ochils today. Have been feeling really flat all week so looking forward to coffee with a friend this morning before my shift at the charity shop.
MiniMoon I feel your excitement - the cruise sounds wonderful. Have a good day everyone.
My favourite dentist visits are those that end in “everything’s fine, we’ll see you in 6 months” Harri
It’s not the thought of a filling that worries me it’s the thought of how much it costs . Yikes !
Good morning Auntyflo and all x
Good morning from a fairly bright NE.
DH are going out for lunch today, we are celebrating the end of two weeks sitting waiting for parcel deliveries for DS.
Yesterday's dentist visit was fine, no work to be done.
Forgot to say good morning to everyone, and I hope gcs with exam results are happy- including those having re-marks. Also, ih open all coping with illness/ recuperation/ difficulties have a good day today.
Gloriously bright and sunny here in Birmingham. I’m caring for mto 10 month old grandson again today- he sleeps overnight on Thursday, but I didn’t hear a peep from him until 6.30 this morning, and then I was greeted by the biggest smile! He’s had his breakfast and a wash, and I’ve just picked him up for a cuddle. I’ve got my reading glasses on now, and I can see that his face is still covered with rusk!
Morning all,
A lovely bright but cooler and breezy morning here. As others have said, a slight autumnal feel.
I hope the re-mark brings the result your GD was hoping for Gaga, though many congratulations to her for passing all her exams.
What a shame your medication won't allow you a small drink of wine to celebrate the near completion of your building works and the exhausting ( but lovely) day with your DGD, Marydoll, you'll have to put it on hold a while, but hopefully not for too long!
To you all, gave a lovely day, and enjoy your bank holiday plans if you have any.
Good morning everyone. A bright start here on the NE coast.
Fingers crossed ? for a positive remark for you DGD Gagagran this happened to my DD many years ago with Buisness Studies and it worked out well.
So jealous
of your Cruise around the Norwegian Fjords MiniMoon hope it’s everything you want it to be and more. 
Have a good Friday everyone.
MiniMoon, I am sure you will have a fantastic time. It is beautiful in the Fjords. Sit back and relax, scenery is just gorgeous. If this is your first cruise enjoy, it is so relaxing.
Morning all,
I'm on the train approaching London. We arrive in about an hour. Then it's off on the coach to Tilbury to join the cruise ship. Norwegian Fjords here we come. I've wanted to do this since I was about 10 yrs old. ??
Morning Mick, Annie and all. It is a beautiful bright and crisp day here. DH also has a run to the tip this morning, must be something in the air. Gaga, I do hope your granddaughter's remark will reflect her ability, such a disappointment when projected results do not appear.
I have a friend coming this afternoon. After my recent surgery I have been blessed with visits, and I do appreciate them. I poped over to see a neighbour yesterday, and came home with serious kitchen envy. Marydoll take it easy, and Grey, I hope fish and chips is on our menu tonight.
Have a good day one and all.
Good Morning GN`S and what a newsy lot you are and it is always a pleasure to read every morning.
Yesterday`s early sunshine is not being repeated ......yet,but we live in hope!
Have got to show a willing heart as hopefully not only will I have my hair "done" this afternoon but we are viewing two Apartments in a Retired Complex,and although feeling this maybe a step too far it is amazing what some determination manages!
I hope this spot of trampolineening will not bring on an early birth Kitty
A shame after the testing time at the Hospital,and starting new medication Marydoll that you cannot drink to the completed building works.............but there is always later perhaps?!
Some gentleness will certainly be needed Gagagran when your DGD visits and I am sure you will help in rebuilding her confidence.
Brekkers time..........enjoy your day folk.
Morning everyone, it is quite cool here today in NE Fife, sun is out, bit windy too so think we are in for a mixed bag today. Didn't get shopping done yesterday as got visit from DD and DGS. My how toddlers change when they are with their parents. DGS was very different yesterday as to what he is when he is here just with us. Has his mummy wrapped around his little finger. Good your work is nearing completion Marydoll, you will be glad. It's a lot of work but I'm sure it will be worth it all. Shame about your glass of wine though. Hope everyone down south has a good Bank Holiday and the weather is good for you. Have a great Friday everyone.
Morning Mick, Morning All. Cloudy with a chilly wind in our corner of Somerset. Feeling content with the world as I had an unheard of 8 hours sleep. She may not need the confidence boosting but good for your granddaughter to have it anyway gaga, hope the re-mark more accurately reflects her ability. It’s a tough time for the young folk. A faffing day today, may even accomplish something. Hope Friday is kind to everyone.
Morning all!
It's a sunny start here on the south coast but with a distinct chill in the air. Definitely a reminder that autumn wil be here before too much longer.
DGD had a major disappointment in her GCSE results yesterday in that her favourite subject. in which she got a grade 9 in her mocks, was graded 5 in the results. The school are having a re-mark done as they cannot understand it. She is coming round to see us this morning for sympathy and a confidence boosting chat. Not really needed as she did pass all her subjects and is a natural optimist!
Hope the day is a good one for us all and includes fish and chips for those so inclined! 
Morning all above too quite new to this but I love reading everyone’s comments. I had 2 of my gorgeous gd s to stay over on Wednesday and yesterday so much art and crafty stuff done( which I love) and Barbie dolls scattered all round the house. Such imagination from them both. With nanny and pop dancing to mama Mia in between !! So today a quiet day. DH hasn’t surfaced yet ha ha. Have a nice day everyone.
Good morning from a sunny and relatively chilly Colchester. Back from our travels and have 2 grandsons to stay tonight.
Good morning everyone, after rain overnight it is quite bright and sunny, although I am just back from taking other half to the train station and there is a definite morning chill now!
Not a lot planned today, a chat on the phone to my friend who moved to Stamford last year, then I may clean the windows 
Make a start on deciding what clothes to pack for our trip to Krakow on Sunday.
Hope you are feeling a bit better today Marydoll
