Oops! Sorry to have kept you waiting on the new doorstep. Come on in and let's celebrate our new kitchen. 
ann my hip was 3yrs old yesterday , my lot send me a “happy hip “ message , but I remember it without the reminder .
It does get better , I was not fit either , in fact I could hardly get around the house and went up the stairs on my hands and knees , I still use a walking stick when out , and a walker for long stretches ....... but oh , the relief from pain !
I’m 82 and can’t imagine what I’d be like without the new hip
Ps
I couldn’t take any pain meds except paracetamol !
Do the excercises they make all the difference 
Welcome to dear Phoenix, there is enough cake and puds for us all. Shall we indulge? Yay! Why not.
Galen As per...what Gary wants, Gary gets. 
Update on the pussy cat. MacSporran hadn't received my message because he hadn't switched his 'phone on. 
This morning, the lady who first saw the cat in the florists went back into town with her husband. They hoped to find wee pus and take him back to live with them. Turns out that the little cat does have a home, over the hairdressing salon, quite close to the florist. The pussy likes to wander the streets during the day and calls into a number of premises where he/she is petted and made a fuss of. So, no cat needing protection after all. I am very relieved. All is well. That's what counts.
Welcome Oldwoman70 there is plenty of room. We always say, the more, the merrier. Sit yourself down and indulge in the calorie free cake. To be honest, I would sooner share the real thing. I blame Brexit and Trump etc.
I have last night's silver linings to share with you all. Especially those of you feeling out of sorts for whatever reason.
Welcome OldWoman , cake is freely available here :-)
Love the picture Soop .
I took this one this morning - autumn has arrived x
Those are simply beautiful photos - soop and N&G. The autumn colours are quite stunning. silverlining you mustn't care if you sit on the sofa - maybe you need to sit there and sort out a plan (for tomorrow?) . Whatever makes you happy.
Small striped person who is now taking her antibiotics went past the window like a bat out of hell earlier on. I went outside, she's sniffing around all over the place. I saw a mees hiding - not sure why she never saw it. Just as well we don't need a hunter here. Cat went indoors, mug and newspaper were brought into play and yet another mees was carried carefully from our garden and sent on its merry way. Hope they are not homing mees, this could get annoying.
Pleased to hear about the little black cat, soop. As long as someone loves it, eh? Your turn will come and the perfect little chap will arrive seeking a home, I'm sure of it. In the. meantime, MacS needs to be encouraged to turn on that 'phone.
We're all thinking of you, Ann and yes, it will get better. Meanwhile, take the pills and don't feel defeated - you have been so patient but it will probably take a while before you feel you can take life by the scruff again. Be kind to yourself, please.
So lovely to see Charley and Phoenix back. Sending good wishes to you both, although sure you're in no doubt as to the warmth and support from the regular Kitcheners and posters everywhere for you all.
NanaandGrampy Your photograph is superb. It's a winner. I am inspired to paint it.
MacSporran has hogged the computer for the best part of this afternoon. He ordered light fittings that need to be returned. It seems that reordering is taxing, to put it mildly.
Anyways, I love you lot and will do my very best to be with you again tomorrow. The flu jabs have been rescheduled for late morning. Such excitement! I may need to lie down in advance.
Knowing that black pussy cat is not homeless has lifted my spirits.
Virtual hugs for all those of you who would appreciate the real thing.
