HAPPY NEW WEEK
I hope everyone has a good week.
I regret I have nothing to report tonight. We had high winds and Arctic cold all week. My house was freezing, and I accomplished exactly nothing except too much sleeping. I hibernated along with all the wildlife! LOL
I do hope all of you will be safe from Storm Darragh tonight. It sounds like a wicked bad storm. Sending protective energy to all of you.
Love and hugs to everyone.
I think there were posts about "Ring of Bright Water" recently. We met up with friends in Aviemore today. We hadn't seen them for a couple of years. Our friends live on The Isle of Seil which is where much of the film was made. We have visited them there and enjoyed the wonderful views.
Lindybird: Thanks for the laugh.
AQ: What a hassle all that paperwork is. A wonder they didn't ask for your DNA. We put a bottom freezer LG w/French doors in the AZ house. When it arrived, granddaughter said it still looked empty after she'd unloaded all the groceries. (But it had room for a pizza without having to rearrange everything!)
Buyers of AZ house have accepted our offer of a credit in lieu of repair and now it's up to the escrow officers to shuffle papers back and forth and make sure all the Ts are crossed and the I's are dotted. Escrow to close December 30. One less thing on my list of 'things.'
Meanwhile, Ms D 'suddenty' remembered her school choir is performing with the local high school choir tonight at the Xmas concert. Granddaghter is still getting over the dry pneumonia so not sure if she should go and daughter is not up for being out late on a very cold (for us) night so I will be in the audience waving the flfag. This has been a really busy week . And Christmas is how many days??? Arghhh.
Heather - Glad your family are rallying round to help with the shopping.
Dibnlib - That film has had good reviews.
We've been indulging in a long saga on our DVD collection -- "War & Peace!" - The original series from 1972. We first watched this when we were planning our wedding (1973) and couldn't afford to keep going out for entertainment.
It was very long, but each episode was about 50 minutes, so we watched two at a time. Very enjoyable. It starred Anthony Hopkins and Alan Dobie.
AQ - You might gather that as we are watching DVDs, there is not much on TV here either!! Glad the new fridge is a success. You can make good use of the larger freezer section, I'm sure. I was sympathising with you in the aftermath of the funeral, as I remember the seemingly never ending saga of telling those who needed notifying about my parents deaths. Eventually you'll be able to sigh with relief and find that you've cleared up all of the list.
SunnyKate - I saw that on TV this morning. I do like puzzles and we watch the "Only Connect" series on TV even though half of the time we can't see how the contestants get to the answers so quickly!!
Went Christmas shopping today and in a Tescos many miles from here, where we had popped in for a few "bits" we were suddenly aware of being addressed by a couple. They turned out to be our neighbours back in Wales where they have the next door caravan to ours! They said they were glad to see us as they have now sold their caravan & they had missed saying goodbye to us! What a huge coincidence.
Annette I see you came on while I was writing my long ramble. Hope you enjoy the concert.
Well that was silly, I tried to delete one of my duplicated posts and now both seem to have disappeared
Plus my next post also DIBNLIB and RUSTYs posts which were replies to my post. I'm so sorry, folks. I will leave alone in future...
It was a long post with replies to everyone - and then another shorter post which was saying,that I have,heard from the Consultant urologist. The abnormality in my R kidney,has turned out to be ' fat adjacent to the kidney, which is excellent news'.
Heather: Fat one of the better options in some cases. :--)) This site is much better than our local neighborhood site where posts with interesting info disappearr, never to be found again once you've scrolled down the page, eleciting many howls of dismay from locals.
