I'm going to be at DD's house near Glasgow 14-23 March and wondered if anyone fancied meeting up then. I've never been to a meet up in Glasgow so maybe if anyone has and knows a good venue they could say where would be good.

*Espee*, swallae puts the emphasis on the ending. That how we posh people speak, when trying to speak in pure Glaswegian. I thought you would have no need to ask, as I thought you were a member of the upper echelons of Glaswegian society. Then again, we are a very exclusive and select group of ladies.

I hope this clarifies matters for you. wink

Am fae Sunny Govan Marydoll. Nuf said!

Remember to wear a mask ladies. They are compulsory until 21st March.

Unless of course, you are exempt.

I am exempt, but I will still be wearing one!! Vulnerable people are now being offered a fourth booster, what does that tell you? We are not out of the woods yet.

Hopefully I will see you all on Tuesday.

Two weeks to go. I’ve packed my Covid test already to make sure I don’t forget it. smile

Just bumping this, as it's two weeks on Tuesday, until we meet!
Everyone is welcome, even if you haven't yet indicated yet, that you are interested.

Sending our double-figures temperature with blue skies and sunshine by ‘first class delivery’ in time for your soirée. ? ☀️

Are you sure you don't mean a swallae, Tilly. Much more common in Glasgow than a soirée. wink

Oops wrong word, a soirée is an evening gathering. For your “kaffee und kuchen” .

“Kaffee und kitchen”, that took me right back to my childhood reading the Chalet School books. smile

Grannmarie Sat 26-Feb-22 20:03:08

Definitely a fur coat outfit, Marydoll!

Jangran99 Sat 26-Feb-22 20:01:59

Grannmarie

I could wear my Argy Hogmanay outfit
!???

Is that the one you have to wear the fur coat over, it is so skimpy? You don't want to shock the genteel Glagow folk like me! wink
