Cheers!
A sunny good afternoon to my favourite peoples. Am I surprised to find the kitchen humming with activity? Nope! You lot are remarkable.
Happy bithday NannyTopsy I trust that you will be right royally spoiled.
We also regularly enjoy fish fingers. Wholesome and tasty. I enjoy them with chilli flavoured houmous (humous?)
Smileless The scent of wall flowers and stocks remind me of my Nana.
Good for MrS he's been doing a grand job. As has MacS who has been busy with hand-held vac and giving the sofa and chairs a thoroughly good going over.
CherryC Please use any of my photos that you like. I've hundreds. The 'silver sea' is a recent favourite of mine.
Doodle As always, kind words. Thank you.
callgirl1 Family matters are impossible to ignore and we all appreciate that right now, your health issues are making you feel very fragile. Please take the best possible care of yourself.
Doodle Cats! They are amazing creatures. I would have loved to have seen Tiger take his rightful place during the service. I watched a short clip of film recently. A cat made it's way on stage as the orchestra was preparing to play in concert. It refused to be removed. It sat, front legs tucked well under (as they do) throughout the recital.
dizzyblonde You are one tough cookie. My word, you will be awash with antibodies. Get proper well asap.
Pittcity I'll settle for a plate of perfectly cooked chips right this minute. Hang on...it appears that I'm having porridge and blueberries instead. 
dragonfly Dear Dexter is keeping you on your toes. Those silly, selfish people should feel ashamed of themselves. Only we know full well that they won't.
Dear Dreamkeeper stay awhile and enjoy a peaceful afternoon with your friends. No need for words. You will feel the love.
My joints remain puffy. The pain is akin to short sharp electric shocks and I am hoping to goodness that within the next day or two everything will calm down. Painkillers help. It's during the night that the pain keeps me awake for long periods. Thank you for your kind, caring words. You are the tops. That's for sure. 
Susan Little Henry remains in my thoughts. 
Good afternoon ladies. Well I've managed to get into the kitchen even earlier today
and once again it's been a hive of activity and kindness.
Even if I do say so myself cherry my hair cutting skills aren't bad at all so, if you're game so am I.
That's really kind of you Doodle to be thinking of Mr. S's. mental health and have some cleaning for him to do. He's only got one chair to do tomorrow and then he's all yours; well for cleaning duties obviously.
callgirlI do hope your pain settles down, do take it easy and look after yourself.
Not good news about the positive test result dizzyblonde but good news that the symptoms are mild. Keeping everything crossed that they stay that way.
'Happy Birthday' Nannytopsy
. I hope you're having an enjoyable day.
Poor Dexter
if only we could make them understand that what they want to do only makes them worse dragonfly. I hope the antibiotics kick in quickly.
Breakfast in bed, how lovely cornergran I hope you haven't left any crumbs behind.
Your poor vision must be very frustrating Dreamkeeper. I worked as a PA at one time so do feel free to give me a call.
That pain sounds awful soop all the more reason for you to take things easy and perhaps spend more time in the kitchen where we can all keep an eye on you take care of you.
I was wondering where you were this morning Susan as you didn't post on the morning thread (or yesterday). Good to know you're still about and seem to be okay. Best wishes to little Henry x
Dreamkeeper, I'm a little bit like my mother I think, "daft as a brush" she was called when it came to helping others and putting others first.
It's in my nature to try and help other people. Both me and my WP have our own health conditions but if I can help I will, it's just what I do. It does get me into trouble sometimes, like the recent help I gave to the girl (woman) I know, and exacerbates my own health issues. I got a real ticking off by the Dr! Her situation is such a tragic one though I couldn't help but do what I could for her. I did do some good to help her in the end and her situation is improving, yes I did pay a price and I know that I can't keep paying a price to help.
I'm glad you succumbed to Mr C's "nagging cornergran and there's nothing wrong with breakfast in bed, as long as you're not the one cleaning up the crumbs ?
Happy Birthday Nannytopsy ??
Smileless, I do have rather a lot of hair mind and it's very thick so it's quite a task for you to take on but I'm willing for you to give it a go ??
I know there's more I wanted to write but I think I need to give my WP a hand in the other kitchen....
Smileless and CherryC I've done some gentle pottering and tiddling in the garden. It's a beautiful day. Far too good to waste. We then enjoyed afternoon tea on the so-called terrace. I am beginning to feel more like my usual self.
Good afternoon, Maw. I trust that you are keeping out of trouble well. 
dragonfly what will the tablets be? I was told that the only method of getting the drug into the body, is through a catheter. This happens twice yearly. The Letrozole tabs are to be taken daily for the next 10 years. I am slowly but surely getting accoustomed to the effect they have on my system. Have you completed your course of chemo therapy? I often think of you. I wish you well and send Dexter more gentle "good boy" pats.
Wall to wall sunshine. Warm with it. Wash and brush up time. Wishing you all a pleasant and peaceful evening. I fully intend returning to our kitchen tomorrow. 
Evening all,
Happy Birthday NannyT , you share your day with young Coop . It was his 6th birthday today.His Daddy made him a birthday video with a message or song from all his school friends and family. Very sweet. We explained he couldn’t have everyone to his party and his Mum and Dad gave him a great day. Sadly , as they tucked him in he asked if everyone was coming tomorrow.
His best present was a look alike that Sam sent him - I’ve added a picture.
I’m struggling to get going most days, hence my absence, but hope you are all keeping well and safe x
Morning All. Two decent nights sleep now, so why do I still feel so shattered? Just been for a walk, Mr C insisted, said it would energise me . I'm not sure his thinking and mine coincide about that . Pleasant enough by the river, few people around which is always a bonus.
Yes, charley Mr C sleeps more than well, I can wander around and he never stirs. Very different if we we have grandchildren sleeping over when the slightest sound wakes him. The old parenting instincts are still there.
Cooper is a delight n&g. It is so hard for the young ones looking forward to celebrations, isn't it? Our Littlest is already worried about his birthday, several weeks away. He asks us weekly if we will be at his party. I could (and often do after the call) weep. It's so hard for the young ones to understand.
No major medical problems here charley, aches and pains but otherwise we're both remarkably healthy, Now, tell me I haven't just jinxed that?
Hope you're more comfortable soop, any chance you might slow down just a bit?
Mr C has decided to clean the bird bath - no, I don't understand either - I have admin to do so had better concentrate.
TOYA, be good everyone.
