Packing time!
Which pearls to pack?
I’ve ordered a new string but they won’t arrive until November. They’re my my 75th birthday present to myself.
Tomorrow would have been my mother’s 100th birthday if she was still alive.
She was born on the 09/09/1919.
Another. Taken at Falkirk
Great picture of your mother Galen. I think I can see a likeness. Where are you cruising to this time? Is there a cruise you haven't yet been on?
Quite envious, Tanith, of your lovely GGS. I want one too! Or a GGD, of course.
N&G HAPPY birthday with all manner of goodies thrown in for good measure. Us lot have all made virtual calorie-free cake. However, if I were you, I would tuck into the real thing and to hell with the calories.
Galen Your dear Mum had a kind and characterful face. Yes...I can see a real likeness. As for the pearls...Yay! Where are you orf to next? Any room in your cabin for all your devoted pals? 
We've been to feed the feral feline family in the old barn. With luck, the entire family has had the necessary op' to prevent further reproduction. It's in their interest to keep the numbers down. Otherwise, within a year, the colony will be beyond manageable.
That cat I've been bangin' on about, is still proving to be unpaintable. I'm hoping to start portrait number four today. If that also fails to please me, I shall "shelve it" for a wee while and begin a another painting of a pretty canine.
A huge happy birthday to N&G, , , 
. thanks for the tip off greyd. Hope is a more cheerful day in Norfolk, positively falling down here.
The makings of several cottage pies are bubbling in the slow cooker, Mr C has done the ironing and is now watching a seriously silly film, after lunch a fate worse than death awaits me with the filing. Still, I'll feel virtuous afterwards. .
Sorry about the painters block, soop it must be more than frustrating.
Routine is good greyd, wish we had some 
. I try, I truly do and then someone comes along and scuppers it. Enjoy seeing the boy, I'm sure he'll be pleased to see you too.
Right, what can we have for lunch? Best go and search the fridge.
TOYA and take care everyone.
callgirl1 The cat is still "with us". I have put the painting to one side (for a wee while) as I am growing dispirited by my lack of progress. I may need to pay the lady a visit and take a few photos with my camera.
Said hello to David earlier today. There was a solitary camper on the site. The new shop has opened at Muasdale. It looks very inviting.
Carillion Don't forget to share a photo with us in due course.
Ann I'm also feeling slightly jaded. Haven't stopped yawning since I rose from my bed. Nevertheless, hugely grateful to be alive.
corner I like cottage pie. Just sayin' 
Susan Have made a start on Wilma's painting. Early days. Hopeful at the moment that I shall continue not to botch it.
Care home visit in the morning. After which, I shall skip through the kitchen door to play catch-up with you lovely lot
TOYA
Evening all !!
Thank you all for my lovely birthday wishes . Its been an odd sort of birthday. I had an apt this morning as I have been selected to join 200,000 other people on a research project into the effects of asprin regarding preventing heart attacks and strokes in people with Chronic Kidney Disease. Not how I planned on spending my morning :-) But I thought how else will they learn these things.
And then it is weight in day tomorrow! How inconsiderate ! So there was no cake. But one of my daughters sent me money to have a cake mountain tomorrow after weigh in ( she knows me well ) and the other daughter allowed the little boys to send me a gift, I have attached a picture !!
I am glad to share a birthday with your Mum Galen ! Enjoy your cruise.
Lovely baby Tanith , he looks properly 'finished' !!
I shall be back after cake tomorrow :-)
