Hello Troopers!!

First and foremost -
to all of the Mums here at MWO and to the Mums of the other members.

Sorry to have been MIA yesterday and today but I had a very long and busy (in a fun way) day yesterday and was half asleep by the time I got home late last night. Up this moring and off to walk the dog and what do I find out when I get home? That Mr. Stirly's brother called while I was out and he and his wife are on their way to a town about an hour north of here and were going to stop by our place for coffee on the way. Note that I intensely dislike unexpected company even if it is family. I like to know ahead of time that people are coming to visit so I can have a few things ready to serve with coffee since we don't usually have cakes and cookies and such since we're not "sweets" people. AND I like to have time to be nicely made up and dressed and not in my old jeans that I walk the dogger in. Anyway, managed to make myself decent in a short time and when BIL and SIL arrived, the first thing they did was suggest we go along with them for the little excursion. So we had a quick coffee and then set off. A lovely day and a lovely drive along the ocean. Had lunch at a sea-food "taverna" and then back here for yet another coffee and they left just before 5 pm our time.
I've been popping in and out for hours, trying to get a few chores done and read back over the posts. Gad, you guys sure talk a lot. Took me forever to read yesterday's thread.

Mario - just what exactly do you mean by "sick Army ladies".:H

Jackie - I read about son and heir sending you that card. Too bad he couldn't be there but at least your daughter is. Hoping that everyone celebrating today had a fine time.

Tartypants - glad to hear you're feeling somewhat better today. Hope that you have kept the happy memories of your Mum close to you today. :huggy

Panno - so sorry about your cat. I will be devastated when it comes time for Freddie to leave us. On the other hand, good job on getting the car onto the shoulder of the road in spite of the flat tire. You must be a very good driver.

As for another cat - Tips, congrats on your newest family member. We'll be expecting pics as soon as he gets home.

Chill - that trip back to Scotland sounds great. I would love to do something like that. Just out of curiosity, what will you do with all your furniture, starting with that fab bed??

Kitty, good job on getting through that panic attack and on staying AF. Stick close by here. As you know, there's always someone here ready and willing to help out when times get rough.

Molly, I am so sorry about your son's friend. Hope dies last. Perhaps they have survived and simply have yet to be found. Miracles and all of that....:l

Mario - I still feel awful but got meds now and will hopefully be a lot better in the morning.

Starts - it's only natural that you are upset today. Go have a good cry, it will make you feel better.

Hey Army! Home after lovely lunch out, seriously stuffed, but slightly horrified at the lack of people in the pub (sparkly water I hasten to add) and restaurant we were in. Both places would have been jammered even on an ordinary Sunday - but janey mac, this was mothers sunday and they were half empty. This country has gone to pot I think.

Stirly, no word of son's friend he's been out walking the coast on and off 24/7 for the last 2 days along with about 200 other people. I think any little vague hope is gone. It is so sad --- actually I find it hard to think about it, and funnily enough one of my sons mothers rang me yesterday, and told me her brother went missing in a fishing accident 20 yrs ago and his body was never found. Hubs is from Howth - a fishing town, and it was a fairly common occurence for someone to go missing.

Anyway, all is good in the world, got lovely cards from all the 'little darlings' - each and every one included the phrase 'I am so proud of you Mum' - I am busting:h
Watching Pink Floyd on tele - sort of need to be a bit stoned for them tho
