Welcome to the *Gransnet Café.

If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.
I have been reading all the posts but only getting round to sending my congratulations to Paw on making a great effort to get well . Soop , you and MsS deserve a medal for your care of that lovely Feline 
I hold my breath for Ann , I hope you had a lovely break and that it is repeated at regular intervals ........... better go ........ just had a phone call to say my puter is sick ....... told a lie and said I didn't have on , phone slammed down !! , not by me !!
oh, where am I? 
I didn't realise that I had wandered into soop's 
I thought I was somewhere else.
Never mind, I will sink into the sofa and have forty winks.
It's this new layout, it has made me very discombobulated
Ooh!! You woke me up trisher
I hope you brought some 
with you!!
You got to use discombobulated that's quite enough for one day 
Oh well OK but eat it slowly it's got to last
aggie Sick putters must be cluttering the planet. We get at least three calls daily to inform us that ours is in need of urgent attention.
Did you really have your tonsils removed on the kitchen table? 
I went all faint when I read that.
Galen Haste ye back. Us lot like it when you share your merry banter with us. 
Jalima dear, sit down and I shall peel you a grape or two. Anyways, where did you think you were?
trisher "that word" is one of my favourites. I had to ask our grandson what it meant. He said, 'confused and out of kilter'. Good enough for me.
ann That's exactly what I'd hoped to hear. Your granddaughter did you proud. You ENJOYED yourselves. Good!!!! I must say that when a glass of wine costs £12 you tend to sip it... Never mind the cost, it was a treat and you deserve many more in the future.
I shall be 76 on Tuesday. We'll be having lunch with a couple of pals in a delightful, very well run small restaurant that is part of a lovely garden centre. We went there with Mr and Mrs Oldgoat.
Greyduster Never think that a creation of yours amounts to rubbish. That's reserved for me and my creative attempts with animal portraiture. For every success I dispose of five or six worked-to death rejects.
callgirl We picked up a gent who was thumbing a lift yesterday. As we motored by Muasdale camp site (fully booked) we both said...mornin' David. The passenger looked a little perplexed. Or, better still, discombobulated. There, I said it!
Rory has made his way into the kitchen. He is far from fully mobile. He does seem brighter in spirit. Well, I think so. I'm off to grind his pills and make his afternoon tea as tempting as possible. I've just heard MacSporran say...gooooooooood boy. Have you had a lovely afternoon?
Until tomorrow...thank you for your company and making me smile a lot. 
Good to hear that Rory has perked up a bit soop . It's all that TLC he's receiving from you both.
OH and I were out walking yesterday and passed three smartly-dressed women hikers. I said to OH "Gosh, those women look posh. One of them is even wearing her pearls!"
We went to the village show near the campsite today. They had a dog show and Oscar and I won the competion for the dog who looks most like his owner. I hope they were referring to his curly hair, not the beard!
ann I'm so happy to hear you had a good time with your GD. As you say, roll on the 90th birthday You, and all carers of people with dementia, deserve every special treat you get - it's such awful hard work when you least feel like doing it, but I suppose we need some life experience in order to try and cope with it
Jamie Oliver's original '15' place is round the corner from DS. Haven't been but he has and said the same about the price of 'extras'. There's also a Jamie's Italian nearby - one of my neighbours said it wasn't very good at all. However, each to their own. Me? I prefer a local Turkish establishment or Chez DS's He and DDIL are excellent home cooks and it's all free - including 
oldgoat congratulations! Definitely the curly hair
aggie when I downsized from a 2-up 2-down I initially thought I'd got rid of too much. That was 7 years ago and I've just cleared another load of stuff I'd kept 'just in case I needed it'! When I get round to sorting out paperwork I'll have so much space I'll be able to buy more clothes move DGS's toys from the floor
