WOOPS she goes again.
Lah de dah de dah

ALL good friends and jolly good company...
and 
of course.
Bella I was wondering why you hadn't mentioned your sister. There is little that I can say to comfort you. You have shared some very precious time together since you arrived in the UK. Saying farewell, will be stressful. I wish that it need not be so.
I am tidying my array art materials and such-like. The eBay easel and new board look very inviting. A large new pad of watercolour paper and a few new brushes...I'm all set for my next masterpiece. Am waiting for inspiration.
I shall shortly shut down the computer. It will be time to read the Saturday newspaper. I've completed the course of antibiotics and look forward to a large G&T at six o'clock sharp.
Love to all my Granspals. I shall return after the Sunday morning stroll through the village (stopping to blether with the kindly villagers).
Enjoy your evening. 
Hello all, may I still come in as I haven't visited for quite a while. I've been really busy but think things should calm down now as we have appointed a person who might actually know what they are doing as a co-ordinator in the library and it just remains for the committee to fund raise now.
I'm so glad you all had a lovely meet-up and thank you for the pictures soop. Enjoy your cruise Galen, bring us a nice young waiter back to work in the kitchen. 
Janer, I hope you have a wonderful weekend and you have a really thoughtful sister.
Bella, so sorry that your sister is not doing so well. You have had an awful time of it lately, (((Hugs))).
I've not been in posing in the kitchen for a while either. I have popped in for a quick catch up on news but been so busy I've not had time to linger.
Soop lovely photos. Looks like you had a great time.
Galen hope you have a lovely trip every day.
Bella sorry to hear your sister is getting so frail. It must be so difficult for you to leave her and go home to Malta
I will pop in with goodies next week. Not even had time for virtual shopping recently. Grandma duties have taken up a lot of time - but no complaints it's lovely to have them
I wouldn't dream of posing in the kitchen 
what can I have been thinking!
kittylester there is no need to ask whether or not you can visit our kitchen...bless you, you are one of us lot and we wouldn't want it any other way.
Charleygirl and Nellie (((hugs))) galore.
glammanana We shall have to save hard for a few bottles of the finest bubbly. Wow! Lovely, happy news. I can imagine how thrilled you must be. I'm also very pleased to hear that you have fully recovered from nasty break in your shoulder and arm. Well done, Mr glamma...you will be added to our virtual roll-call of kindly husbands.
Crafting I cannot tell you how good it is to have you visit the kitchen. It seems ages since you were last here. We've missed you.
Galen My oh my...it will be soooooooooooooooooo quiet here in our kitchen. Our loss is the "the boat's" gain. Bet that everyone has been forewarned 
...should you need back-up you only have to send up a flare and all most of us will launch a lifeboat.
Seriously, have yourself a super-duper cruise. and lots of fun. x
I am about to add last night's sunset, together with a photo of wild roses in the hedgerow. Also the little garden that our pal who died with a brain cancer helped to cultivate from a patch of bare ground.
Mr G sends his appreciation for his virtual award soop he has been preening himself since I told him he is like a prize peacock
Its so good to catch up with everything and get up to date.
Your pics are are so nice that sunset is amazing.
Here's hoping Galen enjoys her cruise and wears her pearls with pride she is an absolute gem,we have had quite a few Cruise Ships leave from Liverpool over the last few weeks all off to far away places wishing I could smuggle away sometimes as they look very grand indeed.
glamma The one and only time that I went to sea in a big boat was when I was about six years of age. We went to Jersey on S.S. Falais. I had the top bunk and fell out of it when I went to step out of it in the middle of the night as I needed a wee-wee. My parents and sister were horribly sea-sick. 
Charleygirl Don's own garden was and remains magnificent. One year it was open to the public. The wee plot in the pic was just a rough patch of ground in the corner of a large expanse of grass. He also made a beautiful pathway to the site. I shall try to find the image.
Charleygirl I found an image of the pathway leading to Don's wee flower garden. He helped to construct this and planted the hedging.
Off to have a G&T and read the newspaper. Love to you all.
Have a great cruise, Galen.
At 11.30 on a Monday washday!! Tut tut. Only 
, have a lovely time.
Galen You minx! Loveable with it. I wish that I could board your "boat," together with umpteen of our Granspals...jump out from behind a potted plant yelling - "surprise surprise" Wouldn't you just love our refined rowdy company? Go on, admit it.
annsixty It isn't an official Bank Holiday in Scotland but MacSporran pays no attention. We celebrate every Bank Holiday under the sun. Who am I to argue. I can hardly refuse to play the game and ruin his fun.
anno Where have you been? It seems an age since you last popped into our kitchen.
janer That is one of the drawbacks of a wedding. Getting the right photographs taken at the right time of the right people...it's all go, isn't it? You seem to get carried along on a tide of activity and after the event think...heck, where did the day go. I always think that the ceremony should be celebrated on one day and the fun and laughter and such should have a second day. I look forward to seeing some of your photos.
I've been with "my ladies" in the care home. Every visit is a treat. Although I have to say that there were a number of new residents. The majority of which, were in an advanced state of dementia. The carers are run off their feet. I applaud the way in which they cope with far too many demands.
MacSporran and I will be returning to Campbeltown hospital this afternoon. He's to have another scan to measure the aortic aneurysm.
The sun is shining and the air is fresh. A lovely first day of autumn.
Last night's sunset was, yet again, too good not to photograph.
I do hope it all goes well this afternoon soop
