and much love xxx
Morning all from the West Wing !!
Still not quite resolved the freezing to death issue out here but Grampy is on the case !! Ive added a couple of pictures of the inside- not finished yet but getting there ( if you don't count the 20 boxes in the loft that have never been unpacked in the year we have been here !!)
Welcome dragonfly ! Im with you , I love a bit of online gaming and play Elvenar and Forge of Empires as well as the ones that just pass time .
I admire your mindset about cooking for one Ann , I think the key is to batch cook and freeze for those days when its all too much effort. I have a friend who is alone and have to say I love the way she does things , sitting down at the table, nice china, all the trimmings, a glass of wine if she fancies it !!
I agree with the other comments MOMB , it sounds as though your cat is happy in most ways . Do you feed dry food because if so it might be worth getting her checked out as it can affect older cats kidneys and cause weeing issues . its easily resolved if that's the case by swapping to wet food and a quick course of antibiotics. Can you shut her out of the dining room for a while to see if she ' forgets' where she likes to wee?
Cooper aged 4 got married yesterday! Sadly, we all missed it. But he assures me Edie Sue is a lovely girl and shares her snacks with him !! I have added a picture of the groom ( in the middle in the blue anorak!!) He doesn't look impressed. Its ok though apparently he reassured his Mummy he loves her most and it was all pretend ! Thank god he wasn't the one chosen to be ' christened'!!
Sending a hug to all in need and now a sprint back to the house to warm up - back later !!
One year on I still overbuy, Annsixty and the DDs tease me that the contents of my freezer would see me through a nuclear winter.
In the early weeks though I sometimes just had to abandon my trolley and go and sit and cry in the carpark, convinced that everybody else was in couples and, or shopping for a family and that my paltry trolley contents shouted out that I was on my own.
Not a good feeling.
You’ll get there
The sun has got his hat on...hip hip hip hooray...
Dear Ann, such good advice from your pals in the kitchen. Enjoy whatever takes your fancy, food-wise, together with an occasional glass of wine. One day at a time. Maw is correct. You will get there.
N&G I am everso slightly envious of your West Wing. I would so love to have a room in which to enjoy painting activities. Apart from the easel, I have the computer, a piano, an exercise bike and other non essential clutter. Mustn't complain. I also have a stunning view across a beach and the Sound of Kintyre with the islands of the inner Hebrides sparkling in the sunlight.
MOMB You say that your elderly cat is happy. Really, that is what it's all about. I would welcome the chance to have our much-loved cat, Rory, back with us. He was terribly incapacitated towards the end of his life. We vowed to keep him with us providing he continued to enjoy his food. It was one of the saddest days when, after a few days of refusing food, we called the vet. 
dragonfly I'm pleased to hear that you, like N&G and eilyann have enjoyed a productive day. Someone needs to. I've been going round in ever decreasing circles. Cannot account for it. Just one of those days...we all have them from time to time.
dragonfly What is the matter? Can you share with us lot. You never know, someone may have some sound advice to share with you. 
Nannytopsy Your wish is my command. A smart, sleek, grey (taupe) kitchen is having the final touches added to it. We've a super-size sofa placed beside the window. Plenty of room to loll and take in the view. I've taken tonight's sunset to share with you.
As we shall all be opening the new kitchen in the not too distant future, I shall keep a beady eye on things right up to my bedtime. If I should be asleep when the door needs opening...please will the last person to visit, open up and put the bubbly in the ice bucket. I'm hoping one of us lot has some cake for the sharing.
I, too, will keep everything crossed for you dragonfly, and welcome to the kitchen. Just the place for a hug when you need one.
I have had a quiet day today. Early start though, watching GS run a cross country. He got a respectable placing so it was worth getting out of bed at the crack of doom for!
I used to play a lot of games on line but seem to have got out of the habit now, except for Scrabble, Codewords, Spider solitaire and a golf game I am totally rubbish at. No-one has invented an online fly fishing game yet. When they do it might save me getting cold and wet!
Ann if it is any consolation I never got out of the habit of cooking for four! Everything will find its own level I’m sure.
N&G I bet Coop was glad to get out of there without a bride in tow, even if she is generous with her snacks! What an interesting exercise though!
We are off to junior footie tomorrow sporting some interesting new supporters headgear! I might have to lose mine...... I don’t do bobbles!
Well I had better take my foot out of the door before it slams shut, so I will see you in the new kitchen. Good evening all!
Evenjng All. Rushing in before the door closes.
Everything crossed here too dragonfly, distraction is good but don’t exhaust yourself.
Love the west wing n&g, more than slight envy here. I lost that particular debate with Mr C sadly. Stay warm . Hope Cooper is more enthusiastic if a real wedding comes along one day .
Hi callgirl love the sound of your plans, we’ve got ballet booked but that’s all. You may stir me into action.
Beautiful photo soop, you live with some truly spectacular scenery. Hope Tabitha has been by today.
Best pay attention to our guest now but want to register a concern for Mr and Mrs panache, anyone heard from them?
