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

I have no idea why a bag of chips appeared in my post!! But hey! Why not??

Good morning from a drizzly Shire. Felicitations to Mr Soop May the celebrations be long and exciting. ??

Current husband and I have just managed pre-lockdown haircuts. He, and other males in the household appear to be going back to childhood following a foray to the firework shop. CH has also rather worryingly ferreted out his fire breathing kit.

Well done annesixy on your outdoor frolic following surgery. Good to hear. I am shortly being taken for my last pre lockdown swim. Goodness, how I will miss it. My next (extremely tame) challenge is learning to crochet.

I hope all managed to keep afloat during the next few difficult weeks. Thinking of you all and thoughts ~(although apologies I cant remember why) to Marydoll but I have a note scribbled here.

Many happy returns MacSporran 80 years young ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? 80 cakes to celebrate ???

soop
I trust he’s wearing his sporran!
Happy birthday ?

Hope you enjoyed your swim Izabella, makes me feel chilly just thinking about it, though i did have a swim in the cool cool sea some weeks ago, it was a shock at first, but not fir long, and then floated around feeling very pleased with myself.
Hope Mr Soop has had a lovely birthday and enjoyed his special lunch. I have a friend 73 today who was very happy she could still go to her luncheon celebrations.

Message from MacSporran :
Hello to all you lovely ladies from Mr Soop [aka MacSporran]. I'm overwhelmed by all the wonderful and cheeky birthday messages as I become an octogenarian. You are all delightful, generous and fun-loving, and I feel as if I know you. So far it has been a most enjoyable day and is soon to become even better, as I open a bottle of the Water of Life which will be shared with the very best partner in life that any man could possibly desire!!!
So, Slainte, as we say in Scotland. Wishing you all good health and thank you once again.

Well now...MacSporran insisted on sending his own message. I haven't yet taken a photo for you but I shall do so this evening. Thank you for putting an extra big smile on his face.

Galen Tyke!

Cheers, bottoms up and good health Mr Soop, sounds like the celebrations continue.

Mr soop - wishing you and soop Good Health & Happiness in the coming year. Cheers! Slainte!

Happy McSporran and enjoy your water of life. I shall join you in one later!
DH is upstairs telling bedtime stories as we have a sleepover tonight. Mummy & Daddy are both on nights.
I have had my X-ray results which are a bit of a buggeration - moderate osteoarthritis. I am a bit surprised it went from niggly to nuclear in about 10 days. I am hoping some of the inflammation can be reversed. ? The next step is a diet!
Welcome back Izabella!

‘Birthday’ got missed out!

Nannytopsy do you know what grade it is? 4 is the worst- it is bone on bone.

Morrison online delivery today- no loo rolls sent at all-unbelievable. I do not mind being rationed but to receive zilch of an essential item is not good.

Oh Charleygirl that’s not on. Back to the dock leaves for you. I’ve got an old pack of Izal you are welcome to ?

It’s 3 - moderate. I shall get more information on Thursday.

Quick foray in to wish MacS the happiest of days xx

Slainte !!

Doodle was it the hard kind with Government property on every sheet?

Yes the hard kind. I think it said wash your hands. ?

Anyone else watching the election results? I shall be fit for nothing tomorrow and we have to be up early for the school run ?

Toilet paper! I remember my grandparents had cut up newspaper and Izal - a choice!

Thanks, Doodle but thankfully I think ahead and never run down to the bare minimum on items like that.

Here's a brief message from Mr Soop/MacSporran on behalf of my Darling Soop, who is still in the land of nod following our high jinks of yesterday. We will be having a power cut here in deepest Scotland until 4pm, so radio silence until after then. Love to all from Mr S.

Morning All. Quick visit to wish Greyd a very happy birthday.? It seems it’s a birthday week and more cake is in order ?. Anyone got a birthday tomorrow?

Thank you macs, saves us worrying. Delighted you had such a good day yesterday.

Off for a grocery collection now and if the sun remains out a walk by the sea later. Good day ahead here.

Take care everyone.

Happy Birthday Greyduster!
? ? ?
We have just done the school run and it’s such a glorious morning.

Happy Birthday to you ? Greyduster
Fill the day with happy celebrations ? ? ? ?

Happy Birthday Greyduster -I believe some parts of the country will be letting off fireworks in your honour over the next day or two! ?????xx
