kitty I sent you [hugs] but 1000 messages later means that we need to open an extension.

It's been a strange day. Apart from worrying about the whereabouts of Greatnan I've not been very productive. The weather is behaving in an unsettled fashion. Inky clouds, Lashing rain. The promise of a brighter sky. Please keep coming to the kitchen. I would miss the company of you lot if you stayed away. smile

Happy Birthday Mr Soop, enjoy your lunch.

Now that's interesting, Quince jam; something I have not tried. Start buttering some toast I reckon. Mmmmmm delicious.

Happy Birthday mr soop..... If there's Buck's Fizz on the go I'll have the fizz without the buck (no citrus!)

I've made a gf, fresh cream and raspberry sponge for mrsoop's birthday. It's quite big but not quite big enough for 73 candles so I 've put a number seven and a number 3 on it, hope that's ok. I'm sure there is enough for everyone. Shall we have it with brew at tea time?

Happy birthday mrsoop - let's hope we have two things to celebrate by then. sunshine

I will be over soon with more "boughten" Malt loaf. Right shoulder in a sling does not allow home baking. If I eat it at Soop's I won't put on calories.

Does anyone else almost come to almost believe in or visualise these virtual places? I hope its not just me. hmm

Happy birthday Mr Soop. I hope you got a card from Rory.

Gally Sun 03-Nov-13 09:27:26

Birthday Greetings Mr.Soop. I will be over later to help out with your birthday cake/s. cupcake. It was DD3's birthday yesterday and she was asked for her ID when buying wine! It made her day - she's 32 grin

Ariadne Sun 03-Nov-13 09:44:51

Happy, happy birthday Mr Soop! Here's a bottle of the guid stuff to help you celebrate. I'll be over later to help you out with it if this lot don't get there first with the others.

Happy birthday, Mr Soop! You will be well and truly spoilt today, without a doubt! xx

nightowl Sun 03-Nov-13 09:57:44

Haven't been into your kitchen before soop (though I must say it's quite lovely, particularly since you had the new extension) but I just wanted to wish mr soop a very happy birthday.

Happy Birthday, MrSoop! cupcake wine flowers sunshine

Howler here last night too, soop. I even shut the bedroom window!!

glammanana Sun 03-Nov-13 10:24:00

Mr soop birthday greeting to you to-day you will be well and truely spoilt I think so enjoy your day.
I do so love to pop in here for a quick relaxing few minutes I have loads to do to-day even though the weather is awful I must go out and about,the menu's have to come in for our neighbourly xmas lunch and guess who volunteered to organise it ?? so there will be a lot of changing of minds I'm sure before the final choices are made.confused

mrshat Sun 03-Nov-13 10:51:18

Happy Birthday Mr Soop - I am sure you will be thoroughly spoiled! We celebrate, with a family lunch today, DD1's 40th birthday, which doesn't actually happen until 8th! However, it will be nice to be together, as always, and here's hoping DGDs are happy and well behaved! Must away now to put on a 'face' worthy of the mother of a 40 year old!! grin

Happy birthday Mr Soop!

harrigran Sun 03-Nov-13 11:24:12

Knock knock just come to wish Mr soop Happy Birthday and to leave a bottle of malt whisky.

soop Sun 03-Nov-13 11:24:37

Mr soop Thanks EVERYONE for their kind messages. He is quite overwhelmed and may have to fortify himself with a wee dram or three [later] of course. You lot, [he understands the lingo] are totally marvellous. He is wearing a very big, cheeky grin and a slight blush.

As for the special cakes and bubbly and the guid stuff, we shall celebrate with all of you when we return this afternoon. If only that could be arranged. It would be such fun.

It's a bright and blustery day. Huge clouds and a choppy sea, capped with white waves. bags last night was indeed blustery. Rory refused to put his nose [let alone himself] outside the door.

I've photographed the couch. Bet you can't wait to see it wink I shall include it in the album later.

Perhaps, today, we shall all have promising news of Greatnan. In the meantime, enjoy relaxing in the kitchen. Eat, drink and be merry.

soop Sun 03-Nov-13 11:26:42

...and still the greetings keep coming. Mr soop feels like a celebrity. He's chuckling away as he lays the fire for later. Thank you so much. grin

moomin Sun 03-Nov-13 11:26:54

Better late than never - Happy Birthday Mr soop, hope it's a good one!
