Good Morning Saturday

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. I still have the heating on!
Gardening Scotland this w/end at Ingliston where I hope to be at some stage.
I was out picking flowers just now. The grass is knee high after all the rain but the birdsong is uplifting.
My cake has sunk in the middle so does that mean we have to eat it now and not put it out for public consumption?
Have a good weekend everyone.

Morning Michael, Annie and all. Beautiful sunny day here, so will plant some bedding in pots later on. First we are going out for our usual coffee meet up with friends, then DD and SIL are popping in. We may buy their car, as they have an upgrade coming soon, and I want to see if it will fit in the garage. That is, if we decide to go ahead. I am so torn about losing my faithful Mitsi, I have had her for nearly 17 years now, and she has been no trouble at all. Dilemma, what to do? She is ageing, like me, so heart or head?
To all those with health problems, here’s hoping that you all start to feel better soon.
Have a lovely day one and all.

Grammareto, just seen your post about your cake. Just put custard on it and enjoy. I had a disaster with a ginger cake, when the children were small, and they loved my ginger disaster and custard.?

A late good morning from the NE coast where we have a bright and mild start to the day.

Took my dad for his usual big shop yesterday straight from work and met DD with little Evie in town. She is walking around the furniture now and can stand for ages on her own but not quite confident enough to walk unaided. Anyway we popped into Clark’s shoe shop and came out with the most delicious pair of “my first shoes” shiny soft patent in the most lovely coral colour that she picked herself . They have lovely soft memory foam soles too. Back at mine she was sitting on the bottom step of my stairs kicking her legs up and down feeling her “noo shoos” hitting the floor and giggling. It was one of those moments I just wanted to bottle for ever.

I have her back tonight for an overnight as DD is on lates today and an early open tomorrow, then when she goes home I have the 3 older DGC to take her place on Sunday as the 2 primary children have an “in service” day on Monday (grrrrr) so I’m swapping my usual nights and days at work to fit things around them. Wasn’t quite the relaxing weekend I had planned but hey ho.

I can’t believe you still have no hot water BlueSapphire I was sure you would post this morning to say you were finally all done . This really is unexeptable. I don’t know how you are staying so calm.

I hope you Continue to enjoy Malaga Urmstongran I am soooooo jealous. What I would give.......sigh

I really hope you feel up to having your visitors Ann .

Have a good Saturday everyone. x

Dear Auntieflo it's a lemon drizzle so I have presented it to the coffee morning but it's been sliced now and doesn't look as bad! It still tastes good.

As for parting with your Mitsi - I think you've had 17 great years and are ready for a new workhorse now. That's impressive.

How lovely Gillybob those moments you want to bottle.

Morning Mick and All. Late call in from me.

Warm sunshine in West Sussex.

Just completed a whole week of childminding which has gone better than expected. Just waiting for DH to finish off a few DIY jobs for DS before we go homeward bound and stopping off at an NT Cafe for lunch.

Hi Mick and all sorry for the late time. But hope you have had a good day.

Grammaretto Did you have cream with your lemon drizzle? Bet it tasted good though*
Re the car, thanks for that. I just need a good kick . The Citroen fits into our garage, just. Wing mirrors need pulling in and aerial is a tad too long, just needs a stubby one.
(A new, electric garage door would be good). DH is holding onto his thoughts ?
