Good luck with the scan Smee - maybe you have had it by now, - 8 mugs of water sounds like a task and a half, - I honestly don't think I could do that, - but you probably have a considerably stronger bladder and pelvic floor than me (wouldn't be difficult 
)
Have a great lunch Sometimes - tell us what you have so we can vicariously enjoy your food! Your poor dad with a wasp in his trousers (does sound quite funny though) I am allergic to wasp stings in a big way so tend to go into absolute flap mode if one comes near me.
gracie - I can also highly recommend MAS's cards - she did a beautiful one for my DD's graduation - DD was thrilled with it.
Gig - I'm glad the massage was relaxing, - enjoy your baking, - can we put in orders? - rock cakes are my favourite, but I also like brownies, cookies, cup cakes, ginger bread ..... the list is endless in fact
I hope overthemill's chemo is going OK - been thinking of her this morning.
I've been to yoga, - so feel nice and relaxed, and a friend gave me a big bag of runner beans, which old lady dog tried to root out of my bag and steal
I have to provide a picture for my art group exhibition wall (in a local community centre) tomorrow. So am sorting through what I have got to offer. The choice is vase of summer grasses, large gaudy bullfinch, an old man with a wrinkly face, a fat little hedgehog looking at a butterfly, or some gentians.
Summer grasses is probably the most sensible, - but I'm inclining towards fat hedgehog - as everyone tends to do very sedate landscapes and lovely delicate watercolours - and I can never achieve those so may as well go the opposite way!
OK I'm rambling, - I'll stop
