I passed around 5.30pm. Perhaps they have to have breaks every 2 hours

And then last night, I had an @rsehole in a transit van trying to spit on me the whole way from Abbeyhill to Jock's Lodge. Sorry to hear this, Bazza. It seems that any form of road transport seems to bring the worst out of people. Unacceptable behaviour becomes the norm. You can only hope the wind ...

DG

I passed the site yesterday on the bus and there was no-one working, however 2 workmen in a van, one on his mobile and another texting.... is there any hope?

I personally have full confidence in the team at CEC overseeing the works.

I do hope you are joking...you are are you not?!?

DG

I really liked this. We kept everything off for most of the night. It's so much more relaxed and candlelight is lovely. I had this silly notion that when I looked out the window at 8.30pm I'd see lots of lights in houses / flats going off but unfortunately not. Maybe next time(hoping that this will ...

Welcome back DG, especially bearing news of a source of choccy!! Is it the Chocolate Tree stuff?

Sorry - last thing about chocolate before we leave it to the digging. Hi, Poppy! Thanks for the 'welcome back'. And, yes, it's that very chocolate.

:wave: Hi everyone! :D Just trying to catch up with things on the forum having not visited it for some time :oops: . Anyway, hope you're all well and GREAT to hear about this beach facility. Wonderful news and exactly what Porty needs. I've also been into the cafe a few times now. Really lovely and ...

Hi Heather and Jim. What a great thing you are doing for Maggie's centre. Maggie's is a wonderful sanctuary for people with cancer and their families. My dad sadly passed away on 10th June. He had myeloma, went into remission only to find unrelated secondaries in his liver and a tumour in his stomac...

Well done to Sandra and ecm!!! What a long walk! But all for a good cause. Thanks for sending the photos, Sandra - they're great. Sounds like you both need to soak your feet in a nice foot spa for a few weeks!

Well done!

Looks like a good day was had yesterday. Didn't make it along but liked the clip, Bob.

DG

This sounds like a bit of a pain for you, Penny. It's a shame that the beach is used in this way and it has over time made me reluctant to have a walk along the prom later in the evening. I hope more people complain about this if it continues to be problem.

DG

DG, that was really crass of me

Marya, don't be silly - you're not to know. Thanks for the thoughts.

DG

DG

Marya, unfortunately my dad has taken unwell again. He has been in the WGH for nearly 2 weeks and has been referred to St Columba's Hospice.

So, I'll be in and out of the forum for a while but will be back more permanently at some point soon.

DG

I love these! Want one for the roof of our new attic conversion but don't think they'd let me

DG

DG

Thanks Sandra and Epykat

Yes, nice to see you too, Sandra - and Epykat and Scoop in John Lewis!

Epykat, you just saved me 6 months of my time - same old same old then...?!?

DG

DG

Thanks for the welcome back

. It will take me some time to try to catch up with whats been happening on PoL but I'll try!

DG

DG

Ahhh....just found the original thread and see it's been moved to Porty Matters

Oops!

DG

DG

Hi all! :D Not been around much lately but planning to try to catch up with what's happening on PoL soon. Received this e-mail petition today and thought it was worth adding to the original jet ski thread - however, things have been so busy here on PoL that I can't find the original thread!! Hope to...

DG

Well done, Bob.

Final recognition for all your hard work over the years

DG

DG

Thanks, TG. Sorry to hear your story. My dad has been unwell for a couple of years now but has not been telling us what's going on - always played it down until recently when he's experiencing this acute episode. It's the one thing most people can't bear to think about and dread happening. However, ...

DG

Yes, JP they deliver - even (embarassingly!) just across the road from them. Their number is 669 5090 and they delivered within 30 minutes.

A lovely tribute, Porty. My dad has recently been diagnosed with myeloma and just started chemotherapy (on the day of our PoL Christmas bash and hence the reason for my cancellation). I don't know what it's like to loose a parent and am just learning how to deal with having a critically ill parent. ...

DG

Just had a very nice carry-out meal from the newly opened Indian carry-out, Cinnamon (249 Portobello High Street). Don't know whether to be happy or concerned that this place has opened so close to our door

A bit too tempting.

Definately worth a try.

We've decided this year at work, instead of doing a Christmas dip when we end up with thoughtful but usually useless gifts, we are going to put the money together and buy a donkey from Oxfam. I think this is a great idea.

Belated Happy Birthday to Marya and Mr E :occasion4: :oops: I have just recently worked out that Mr E is not Homer (I did originally know this and seem to have forgotten and muddled it all up :confused5: ). So...when I said a few weeks ago that I had been jigging with Homer...I was wrong. Sorry Home...

DG

Have you got room for 2 more? GG and I would like to come too.

DG

DG

Agree entirely with you on this, Franck.

The last time we went camping at Loch Lomond we were supprised and irritated by the amount of jet skiing that is allowed there in a national park. The noise and environmental pollution has to be taken seriously.

CONGRATULATIONS Porty

DG

DG

CONGRATULATIONS MARYA!

Funny how these things creep up on you unnoticed?!

DG

DG

I should be able to do any of the Friday dates you've given.

DG

DG

I'm happy to go with whatever people decide...but I must say that a smoke free zone sounds nice (sorry all ye smokers!). And, I agree ecm, the walk may help to limit the next-day-effects.

DG

DG

Happy Birthday, Froglette! Are you really going to have him all to yourself tonight

?

Have a nice time!

DG

DG

Happy Anniversary, Lizzie! Bit late I know but it takes so long to catch up with what's going on here on the forum. We had our anniversary on the 13th and spent it in Venice which was lovely
