Soop's welcoming kitchen for kindly caring folk...

Good morning all. Maw sends her best wishes to you all.

As for the Doghouse4, GNHQ certainly have been busy.

Kitty, may I borrow your cat? We have an infestation of mice. We cannot find how they are getting in under the kitchen sink. ?

So sorry to hear about your friend soop I too lost a good friend this week.

Such a shock Susan when young people die like that. The photo is lovely.

Thinking of Ann.

Doghouse 4 kitty? I too have missed something.
Soon there will be more in the doghouse than are on here.

Who is it ?

That would be a confidentiality breach, Lucca, and unfair to the banned poster, who would be unable to respond.
GNHQ will delete the post if the poster is named.

I know really but I guess my question was almost an exclamation of despair !?

I understand what you mean, Lucca! I'm beyond despair now at what is happening!?

Sending virtual treats to our outcast friends and wishing them Good morning. Books and chocolate while you wait to return
? ? ? ?
Good morning soop and everyone who visits the kitchen today. ?

Four in the Doghouse? N&G I think we’re gonna need a bigger cake!?

I tried an appeal to HQ when the DH3 were exiled but got a fairly sniffy response. This is getting a bit silly now.
Lovely day here so out into the garden I go.
See you later

Blimey another one!!!!

marydoll, we have 2 cats we lend you. We have the feisty one year old, the gentle 3 year old ( though she did have the mouse yesterday) and the fat black cat.

Personally, I think they work as a team. Minnie catches them, Maisie torments them and Kiwi eats them, politely leaving the innards behind the kitchen door for the unwary to tread on.

Ooh, i feel poorly now!

Awww kitty
I adore cats but yours sound like warriors!
The description of their hunting methods put me off my (late) Weetabix. ?

I have no idea who the 4th person is but this is getting ridiculous. Wishing our favourite 3 and the newcomer all the best today. We aren’t forgetting you. Hope you are back soon.

ann everything crossed for you today. Take care,

My husband’s mum had a mother/son combination of cats when they lived in Cornwall. They used to catch seagulls!

Good wishes to our Ann for today and the many more comfortable ones that will follow.

The three have become four. I'm shocked. What on earth is going on? At the first sign of anything untoward in our kitchen, the causer of any disruption will need to make a hasty exit. After all these years of camaraderie, us lot refuse to permit trouble makers. So there.

The vole (not mees) entered the humane trap mid evening and was taken into the garden. Today, as MacSporran was about to put the shopping bag away, who should be sitting in the bottom...the vole. Out it went yet again.
I remarked on life carrying on in much the same way when Rory the fierce black cat lived with us. MacS awoke one night to see Rory sitting on the edge of the sofa watching a mouse/vole (whatever) scamper around the sitting room. He didn't budge a fraction of an inch. In fact, he yawned, turned around twice and went back to sleep.
Talking of Rory, he would sit on the doorstep and the birds would peck around almost under his nose for fallen bird seed. He showed no interest in them, or they in him.

Puzzler That is a superb photo. where did you take it?

soop the vole story has made me ????

It was at a hotel in St Austell Cornwall.
We were just unpacking and he came to look in our bedroom window to say Hello, and when we mentioned it at reception the lady laughed and said “Oh yes, he likes to check all our guests in after we have”. ?

I'm thinking Soop that the vole should have a name. Hilts,the cooler King from The Great Escape comes to mind,played by Steve McQueen, second only to Paul Newman in the looks department. That's my opinion, and I'm happy for others to diverge.

Puzzler We lived about twenty minutes drive from St Austell some seventeen years ago. Whereabouts is the hotel?

Grandmabatty , Steve McQueen! I first saw him in 'The Thomas Crown Affair' and I was bowled over by his good looks.

You have lived / do live in lovely places soop.
It is Carlyon Bay (Hotel) and the sea-facing main building has twisted ivy completely covering it - ideal for a wily squirrel
?

Good luck annsixty! I hope everything goes well. Xx

Hello Soop and the Kitcheners, apologies for breezing into your bolt-hole unannounced but I am hoping you can set my mind at rest. I usually read your thread but seldom post (have rather a caustic sense of humour which may not be appreciated!) although have become familiar with your posters. Just hoping that NanaandGrampy is ok as I haven’t seen her post for quite a while. Best wishes to all.

I've stayed at the Carlyon Bay - loved it!! puzzler

N&G was here a couple of days ago Alima. She might be in the West Wing making banners. But it is wise to do a head count I did suggest we were al roed together for safety but no one took me up on that.

almia N&G were in the kitchen Wednesday and Thursday offering their support for the DH 3.

Thinking of ann today and hoping all goes well.
soop that was lovely to hear a story about dear Rory again. What a character.?
