I thought that we had already reached the 1000 messages. Maybe we haven't. Anyway...for when we do, here's the new extension. I'm making it warm and cosy and there are date slices to be enjoyed. Rory has claimed his corner of the sofa.
Oh poor soops thank goodness for woodburners and alternative means of cooking/making hot drinks. Lots of healing vibes winging their way from here - despite a vicious head wind
soop has just phoned me and between coughing fits she said the doc thinks it must be a viral infection she has but apparently she is getting enough oxygen.
I passed on the good wishes from you all. She says she's missing the Kitchen a lot and thanks you all.
Better not to mix the antibiotics and the toddy, though, Soop Maybe keep the toddies for when you are convalescing. Keep warm and cuddle that cat (or Mr S)
Bags - give the soop family our love when you speak to them again? I was wondering how she was as I'd pm'd her and got no response. The wind will be howling around that 'wee hoose' just now.
Thanks old greymare saw lovely doctor but viral infection no treatment! Oh well he was so kind pressure high but he felt bad time got heart scan on 19th. Go back after then he was so helpful
I will certainly pass on all your kind wishes to the soops and I know they are much appreciated.
ariadne, the wind does not seem quite so strong but it is snowing lightly now. I expect the hills will be white in the morning, if we can see them, even if the garden isn't. The worst of thes torm must be over Germany by now I think.
I hope everyone else is nice and snug. soop's kitchen is a good place to be.
I'm worried about all you lovely Grans in Scotland and elsewhere in the fearsome weather. Do keep safe and look after yourselves. And I hope soop is better soon and back with the power. It's so quiet without her.
I'm looking at the North West News which is reporting a big tidal surge at New Brighton in Wirral which I think is where glamma lives. Are you there and OK, glamma. And a picture of a tree that had fallen on a car right here in Poynton. Hope you have electricity back, soop.
soop I am so glad your kitchen is still going strong. I haven't been around for a while ,but may I come in and have some of Kitty's porridge? It's so warm and welcoming here.
Oh, thank you, Kitty that really hits the spot! Off to Cheltenham soon for a fleeting visit to DS and family, while Theseus is at Rotary HQ in Alcester. Got to be back for lunch party on Sunday, though. Such a social whirl! Love to dear soop again, and a (hug) to them both.
Argyll & Bute Council is tweeting that various schools, including those on Kintyre, will be closed today because they have no power, so I suspect the soops may still be without it too. Yesterday nearly half of Argyll schools were closed or closed early.
Just popped in to see how everybody is and sorry to hear not a lot of improvement, but that might be compounded by lack of power and as yet no one has invented the wood-burning computer or iPad (now there's a thought.....) Wishing well to poorly grans, wind-swept grans, flooded grans (hope none of those) and busy grans - so that covers about everybody! Keep warm, keep safe, keep topped up with a dram/ / gingerbread/ shortbread/ porridge/ as and when necessary
Just me again - where is everybody? I hope you are not poorly or shopping ? Maybe it is a hint that I should be doing something more productive than catching up with my friends wasting time on my laptop
