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

Happy birthday, Greyduster. Blue skies here; hope it's the same for you. ?

I know Maw. I ask them every year not to go to all that trouble but they still do!?. Seriously, thank you all for your good wishes, but there’s still only one special birthday in the kitchen this week. I hope he’s still celebrating!

Many happy returns gd. Have a super day.

I do know of one person who has a birthday tomorrow.

Good morning from the Shire, and Happy Birthday to greyduster.

I am in awe of the sight before me this morning. Lovely winter sun after a hard frost and everything is sparkling on the rime. The blue sky adds to the magical vista from my eerie. No matter what this day brings, I am thankful for this visual feast for eyes and soul. I hope all manage to find such a moment today in these strange times.

TOYA and keep safe.

Happy Birthday again Greyduster the sun is shining and it is a lovely day.

Sorry to hear about your knee Topsy. Nothing worse than being in pain. I hope they can reduce the inflammation.

Actually Greyduster there are more special birthdays this week.
Our own Annodomini also becomes a octogenarian on Thursday so the firework celebrations are for you all.
Gd I hope you have a lovely day and here at least the sun is shining.
I am waiting for the Sky engineer to come today to fit a new box, it has been postponed twice, because of my op and then two weeks isolating so third time lucky.
Have the best day you can everyone and I hope soop has recovered.

Izzy Wizzy has been busy

And a rather special (to me) medal

Izabella what a lovely spread! I'm so jealous. I've just returned from taking mum shopping. Only for underwear, she said but then changed the goalposts when we were in M&S! I'm exhausted and having a sit down.

Lovely photos Soop. It looks like he had a good time.

Izabella Well deserved medals galore!

I apologise for being brief with today's post. First the power is off for hours. Then, when restored, the amber light flashing on loss of internet connection has been giving me the willies.

I shall be back tomorrow morning. Infusion in the afternoon.

Please continue to take good care of yourselves. You lot matter.

Lovely photos soop

Izabella all samples appreciated ?‍♀️

Good luck with the infusion tomorrow soop ,I hope it doesn’t cause too many upsets for you.
I am getting about well but oh dear I have really appreciated just how swollen my hip and one buttock is today when I put on slightly more fitted trousers.
My GD assures me it has gone down a lot.
Apparently from behind I looked like Kim Kardishian but only on one side.

Very cold here today with a thick frost this morning, winter drawers on ( and warm pyjamas tonight).

Happy Birthday Grey I hope you’ve been thoroughly spoilt xx

Lovely photos and lots of news. Here just to wish you safe return tomorrow soop - the Kitchen Choir will all have your back, so no worrying, please, x

Ann - how awful - the only thing worse than looking like a rear view of a Kardashian, must be looking like the rear view of half a Kardashian. ?
But younWILL return to normal and you do sound on good form. Well done you. ?

Many happy returns of the day to our Anno. hope you have lots of fireworks to mark the day.

Good luck today soop. It's all go in the MacSporran household.
