Brunton Park. Ever so slightly waterlogged pitch.

That looks awful Bob. Hard to believe its only 70 miles away..we've been lucky as usual in the Central Belt

I presume you didn't take to the hills today?

According to this website

it's 85 miles "as the crow flies".

I "asked Jeeves" and it said Edinburgh to Carlisle 75 miles

Thank you everyone for my Happy Birthday wishes. That was really nice to come back to. We had a really relaxing time at the Lodge at Loch Lomond - swimming, steam room, saunas and a birthday massage for me on Friday - ahh, so relaxing, just what we needed. Luss, however was starting to experience serious flooding before we left yesterday. The pier, that normall stands arounf 6 to 15 feet above the water level is now virtually covered. Must be really scarey for the owners of the old cottages by the loch.

It's Mr DG's birthday (GG on the forum) today so we went to Sizzlers for a family meal last night and had such a good time we went again for lunch today. Food and service was great and most of my family are planning various nights out there - good to hear for local business. They tolerated the 7 active and energetic kids very well (probably better than I did

).

So, I'd like to wish Graham, my husband and best friend a very Happy Birthday today :love4:

I would have guessed at around 100 miles and Autoroute confirms this. Someone was plying me with drink last night so I'm giving the Pentlands a miss today. :lol:

by **Poppy** » 09 Jan 2005, 15:52

Any advance on 100 miles!! :lol:

And, Bob, a energetic walk in the fresh air would help cure your hangover, surely? :twisted:

Back on topic, Happy Birthday GG and belated wishes to you DG

Both in one weekend that's handy...or maybe not??

Sounds like you had a great time in Loch Lomond and at Sizzlers

:king:

You're right Poppy and as the weather is OK it wouldn't have been a problem but you need to be up and organised for a day in the hills and I was neither.

DG, sorry to hijack your thread. Happy birthday to both of you. Sounds like you had a great time.

by DG » 09 Jan 2005, 16:22

Thanks, folks!

Foxy, it is actually really convenient as we have a birthday time of year - 3 days - and don't buy presents but put our money together to go away for a few or couple of days. This would not be so easy if our birthdays were far apart. The downside is that we are both Capricorns and share similar traits - there are plus and minus points to this

.

Happy Birthday GG

by **Maria** » 09 Jan 2005, 19:05

And a very Happy Birthday to GG too! :occasion9:

Going away as a joint birthday treat - especially after the hectic festive period- sounds like an excellent idea DG :thumbright:

Happy Birthday GG and Belated Birthday greets DG !!

:occasion5:

Thanks for all the birthday greetings

I'm enjoying an easy night in watching Collateral, drinking beer and eating all the chocolates I got today. Trying to chill before going back to work tomorrow. Need to get back to work to loose all these extra pounds!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year.

by **Poppy** » 09 Jan 2005, 22:28

More birthday greetings from me!

Ditto re returning to work tomorrow. Yucky-yuck-yuck. [Except, of course, I may well see ecm there

...... so that's a good thing!! :twisted:

Happy Birthday Prombabe

I'm posting this because I have visions of a very soggy birthday card floating around Carlisle! Hope the dogs have dried out successfully and the cows don't drift in from the field.

Happy Birthday Prombabe :occasion1:

Hope you're managing to dry out a bit. At least wellies are meant to be the fashion item to have this season

Yes, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Prommy old fruit :lol:

I presume this one will be marginally quieter than last year :shock:

Happy birthday Prombabe, :occasion4:

I'm a capricorn too, 23rd Dec, though. Xmas was always a bit full on as a child for me. First there's the birthday pressies then Santa and finally Xmas. Whew. However, there was always some who bundled the birthday and Xmas presents into one humbug!! :cwm21:
