Just a quickie

Hi , just a quickie to let you know I'm still in the land of the living, been busy and been bored, not necessarily in that order, also been very cold, and wanted nothing more than just to hibernate. Today is much milder, in fact after the minus degrees of the past two weeks it feels positively tropical at 7 degrees, and they say to-morrow will be even warmer., yippppeee, maybe Spring is at last on it's way.
Last Wednesday (8th) was my younger daughter's birthday, so I'll pop up a couple of pics, it was a 'big one' as they say, but I'll leave you to figure out how big, as I don't want to get lynched just in case she reads this.

I give you my heart Mum, 

Craig [son] with his girl friend Jade

Daughter Rhianna at the back

Jason and Karen

Now what do you think upset her :-)

With her big sister Arlene


However as you will all know that to-day is Valentines day, and when shopping in the local Supermarket, it was touching to see lots of males buying flowers most surely for their loved ones, and it came to me, again., as it does every year, that I have never, ever received a valentine card. despite two husbands and my modest share of boy friends. .
I wonder what this says about me, or maybe it's their failing. Oh well I've survived this long so it can't be the end of the world, Maybe I'll have 'My Funny Valentine' played at my funeral to redress the balance :-)
In case there are any more sad sacks like me out there, let me send you a Valentine and wish you all the love in the world.

Thank you for visiting and please come back, Arlene, Tango and Ruby

To-morrows doings

Got a busy day tomorrow, First Tango's walk, it takes me longer to get all my clothes on than it does to walk him as it's sooooooo cold. but no snow here yet.
Then off to lunch in celebration for St Andrew's day [the patron saint of Scotland], then to my great grandson's second birthday celebrations. I've charged up the camera and the cam corder so I hope to get some photos.
Tommy is the image of his dad and typical little 2 yr old boy, damn hard work! I'd rather have a kennel load of dogs.Happy birthday Tommy

On Monday night we're celebrating again at the dance club, as usual we have to take food, and I'll be baking some Scottish Shortbread, it's an old recipe and it's mouthwatering. I'll save you ll some.
