The summer crunch is on. Every summer there are wagons of travelors. I love seeing everyone I just wish they would spread it out a bit. No matter what, I get 6-8 groups over lapping in the course of 6 weeks. It was too much when I was more lively and strong. It is just not as much fun now. It is feast or famine. I guess I should give up on it changing People ask when would be good ,then do what they want. they always change and come earlier after that notice. It's *like a grand plan to do this to me yearly*. I am glad I got my trip in first. Geesh ! A little rest and regeneration time would have been appreciated
I can tell my mind is already fading. The mind is the first to go with me.. If I get too darn irritating or more of a babbling idiot, just say so. I will gladly go away, that will mean I need to
*odd I still pop in at these times like it's some daily requirement*

You know people who come visiting should maybe bring their own bowls and spoons if you catch my drift? Otherwise you end up tired and cranky and wishing they would go somewheres else, and then they don't understand why.
And besides you need to stick around here a little too so people can benefit from reading what you write.

How very true!
Abbi, I reckon you need to practice snarling a bit at them; you're too nice!
& other appropriate smileys.

Yes, Yoda is in Full Sulk Mode; I am beginning to wonder if she's been taking lessons from someone!

Good luck with the busyness! At least it means you are popular and good company! Hope you get more uninterrupted nights sleep though

Hi Everyone, The ones that really wind me up! are the tourists who come to Scotland with their "caravans". They always seem to travel in convoys! which makes overtaking them impossible Then they crawl along at 40mph, with a mile of traffic behind them trying desperately to get passed and cant!! Thats when they start taking chances and the accidents happen

I know what you mean Smudger - you ever tried overtaking a caravan downhill when they start picking up momentum - murder!!!
Didn't know you were a Scot by the way - whereabouts you from?

Hi Abbi, What is it you do when you "meet & greet?" is it part of your job?.......Just curious? OK then, being Nosey!

Hi Smudger.
I do not work due to physical problems.
The Meet and Greet in this case is picking up more relatives.
I usually use "meet and greet" for short interactions. This will be short on that day,although she'll be around the general area for months.
This sister in law was a missionary in Equador, South America. She has left the missionary side and has been teaching English there this year. She comes home and works 3 months and can manage to live comfortably (for her liking) and teach. She has always lived simply and slowly so it is not the culture shock it would be for many. I am very fond of her. She is also closer to my speed than most! I used to be very hyper and active. I zoomed by her for years! Now that I am slower to nuetral in speed ,we have gotten to know each other better
