I’m utterly stuffed, lunch at a friend’s house with a mutual friend, as a late breakfast/lunch person weetabix and fruit, my poor old tum isn’t used to it. It was lovely, chatting in the garden for a couple of hours. I’m getting there with the book muse, page 245 out of 382, it feels indulgent just sitting and reading, normally a bedtime or holiday pursuit. The garden was planted out this morning, I’m very pleased, another couple of months should see it start to meld together, pictures attached. Izabella how rude of people, get out from the Aga and ignore those who are brave from behind a keyboard. Ans BladeAnnie, we rejoice in your happiness as we empathise with others misfortune and sadness. It’s your time to shine, we applaud you and yours ⭐️
Right, back to the book....

Just back from a walk in between the showers - I was hoping to do some gardening but it’s still too wet
Your garden planting looks lovely and very well organised jaxj in no time at all I bet it’ll be growing fast and fill all the spaces - thanks for the photos
You’re safe on here Izabella I didn’t see the other thread but please don’t hide and feel intimidated by anyone
Soop I hope your internet is restored soon, we’re missing you!

Just back from the coast so hope I’m not too late to wish BladeAnnie all the best for tomorrow. Hope it’s a lovely day.
Galen beautiful throw. Your DGC will be very pleased.
Muse pleased to hear there is better news about your DGD.
Isabella sorry to hear you have been sniped at. Take no notice . It’s just lovely to hear from you.
Sorry can’t catch up with all the news though I have read it all.
soop I hear you have internet troubles again. Hope it’s fixed soon.
Hello Urms ?
We had a lovely beach walk yesterday. The sun came out ?

‘Evening All’.

Hi Doodle ?

Busy day for us. Simply Food with stepfather. Then the Trafford Centre for quick return before half term next week. Then on to pick up delivery from post office for dear child - she who works full time as a teacher so we are Team Back Up.

Afterwards a Registrar from ENT hospital rang me. A triage appointment. Lovely lady who took a very detailed history of my on going six months symptoms before arranging up to date blood tests and an MRI scan.

Afterwards, picked the boy wonder and li’l miss up from their wonderful childminder to help out. Played in their back garden in the sunshine whilst waiting for sausage rolls (good ‘ol M&S) to warm up in the oven. Daddy came home just as I’d settled them to eat. Bye bye everybody!

We then drove home and then walked over to our favourite bar for 2 scoops. Why not? We felt we deserved them and had much (family stuff) to chat about.

Himself is now watching Man. Utd poor thing. I’m much more relaxed. About to continue with ‘Mare of Easttown’.

Thinking of BladeAnnie who will be so excited up there in Gretna Green right now!

muse so glad all is ‘good enough’ right now. Rest easy.

Hope all of us on here get a peaceful night. x.

Puzzler, Billy is fine, but he would eat me out of house and home, given half a chance. He follows me every time I move, sits near his empty bowl, even if he`s just finished a meal, then he sits in front of the cupboard where his food is kept, giving me "the stare".
Izabella, I haven`t seen the thread concerned, but just ignore them and come from behind the Aga before you get burned!
BladeAnnie and her groom will be in Gretna by now, hope they are comfortably settled in. I remember 10 years ago being so disappointed when my eldest son changed his mind about getting married at Gretna Green and did it locally instead, because I`ve never been to Gretna.

Hellogirl is Billy just greedy or could he have an underlying problem like diabetes? I know he has not been with you for long but has he lost any weight? He has settled into his new home, that is for sure.
TOYA

Late again! Yes N&G Norfolk has been very wet and cold with it. We can’t remember the last time we had decent weather in the UK unless we were in our own garden. There’s a reason why the Med became popular! Still tomorrow looks better ?
Izabella I hope your DH can get an early date.
Sleep tight everyone ?

At this rate we will be in a new kitchen by Saturday. Time flies here.

Izabella come out from behind the Aga! You are a valued member of Soop's kitchen. I hope Soop gets online soon. We miss you. BladeAnnie all the best for today. Nannytopsy the weather has been poor here this year so far. March - heavy snow and ice, April - cold, May- wet and cold. I've got my hopes pinned on a sunny and warm June!
Just a little early visit to announce an early Christmas present in our family. Dd is expecting her second child in December. We are all delighted for her and sil as it's their second IVF baby and these things are not guaranteed. I'll return to the kitchen with goodies later to celebrate.

Good morning all.
This is for our kitchen friend BladeAnnie and Mr BA ‘s Wedding Day. May the sun shine and your dreams be fulfilled,
Have the most wonderful Day. ?

Pop the Champagne cork. We are reconnected. I've missed you lot and say a big thank you to our Baggs for doing her bit and passing on my message.

Good to have you back, Soop
