I can onl guess how hard it is for you ann, but have some idea from seeing our neighbours in a similar position. 
for you and all others who face a struggle each day. Wishing you the best Christmas possible.
Unexpected, beief visit before I try to go to sleep. Lovely if hectic day so I should be sleepy, don't seem to be!
That cake looks wonderful kitty, a budding Masterchef for sure.
Pleased you haven't been blown away soop, you sound prepared for anything
Can't believe you have still been sorting charley, having Christmas Day off is a really good plan 
. Sorting under the influence 
. is never good!
There will be an early start with littlest tomorrow so best try to sleep. Think I've caught his excitement, although he doesn't really know what he is excited about I do 
.
Once again all good wishes for Christmas, may it be the best it can be.
annsixty you are very much in my thoughts. Having your DH as he is must be overwhelming for you and I wish I could offer more than just words to help you.
Happy Christmas everyone. Whilst desperately trying to catch up with all the kitchen happenings so that I would get here in time, I seemed to keep getting stuck at Crafting's post about her dear brother, so I am especially pleased to see that he has recovered enough to come out of hospital and be somewhere that he can feel at home in.
Special wishes to all of you who are alone or feeling alone not through your own choice and I hope that next year is kind to you.
Thank you soop for opening your lovely kitchen to us all. Respect to MacSporran 
I can sit on the floor and I can get up again but it's not something I undertake lighly.
Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow, with no bad weather or power cuts so you can stay warm and fed and pop in to GN if you want to.
And to you, Galen! How is it going on the high seas? Are your accommodations as grand as when we went in June? I still dream of that heavenly view from my bed. Thank you again. It was one of the best bits of my 'year in review'
Me too! That looks wonderful, kitty. I think you are allowed a bit of boasting.
Just a little touch of ma-type boasting. This is a picture of a Tunis cake made by Seb who is 9.
It's time to log off from our computer. Pitch black outside the window. The wind has abated somewhat. I do believe that it is getting warmer. Of course, it could be that my 
has warmed the cockles of my heart.
This evening I shall raise a glass of festive cheer to all our very dear Granspals. I wish you good health.
Bye for now. 
Ooooh, Charleyg MacSporran will wear a smile on his face when I threaten him with your proposed visit. He likes to live dangerously from time to time. 
glamma It's so good to welcome you back in the kitchen. Keep getting stronger. Oliver, bless him, will be almost as good as new. Salmon has healing qualities...or so I believe. Would you believe that Rory now favours tuna in spring water. MacS has made a note to stock up the cupboard. That's the same cupboard stocked to capacity with the finest gourmet food for felines. And to think that he used to live on mees and scraps that kindly folk treated him to.
Bellanonna We've had just one brief power cut so far. The worst ever, continued for seven days. We were compensated for loss of stuff in the freezer and the inconvenience that resulted. It all happened during the time we had not only a hurricane but the deepest snow-fall we've ever seen since moving to Scotland. The poor local farmers lost a good many sheep. They were trapped and died in almighty big snow-drifts. The landscape looked lovely. In reality, it was a bit of a nightmare.
Sending warmest best wishes to Soop and all kitcheners even though I have been on the missing list a while this year due to my accident I have still managed to pop in every now and then and have always been made welcome by you lovely ladies,thanks so much xxx glamma.
Quick update on Oliver he is all healed up and back to his usual bouncy self he had a couple of days being spoilt (oh bought him some salmon as he thought he was not eating properly) but I think he (ollie) was just taking advantage of OHs good nature.
grannyqueenie When you've finishes kissing Wobbly us lot will be waiting in a dis orderly queue.
callgirl1 That makes two of us. The ironing board is banished to the cupboard.
DaphneB We've treated ourselves to a full set of 'Dads' Army' episodes. Not to watch all at once, mind. We enjoy the sense of humour that doesn't try to be too clever or "smutty".
Dear kitty and Mr Kitty...what a buggeration! All that you can do is keep warm and rest, rest, rest.
cornergran Peace and contentment is, in my mind, the very best of bonuses. This is my wish for you.
Charleyg Cats! 
They seem to get away with almost anything. Rory has decided that he prefers to be hand fed! MacS cubes freshly cooked chicken and sits on the floor beside him. I'll say no more.
Greetings to you, mrshat. And a warm hug for good measure.
Swanny You deserve a big, shiny, Granny Gold Star. Well done. Your message comes from the heart. Thank you.
Crafting Good news regarding your brother. Being "at home" - wherever that may be, is the best place on earth. He will be well cared for.
Marelli I've taken a pic of the Caledonian MacBrayne ferry especially for you. We lost power for a very short spell. All is well at the moment.
baubles Greetings with our love.
NananandGrampy Three loud cheers from a blustery Kintyre. You have had a good result after much fussin' and faffin. You even have your very own wee mechanic. It doesn't get much better. Thank you for giving us lot some lovely images to smile about.
Greyduster That naughty man had better stay put until he's well-sober. I bet he can strum a merry tune on that ukulele of his. 
annsixty You are a lovely lady.
Lona You too. In fact, as I'm allowed to say soppy stuff during the festive season, I shall do just that. You lot are marvellous. I feel blest to have your company. To be in the same room with all of you, would be the biggest treat of all.
