Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good pals and jolly good company...
Welcome. Make yourselves comfortable and let us share our celebrations and tribulations. It's what we do best.
and a multitude of virtual hugs.
Hello all, good news for Mrsoop. And muse you’ve resumed, for now sedate, yomping.
Some things are a bit disappointing, friends were supposed to come for a late lunch Sunday, to cut a long story they don’t communicate with each other and had double booked. So the set table was cleared away, dessert frozen. My Monday voluntary work we use an excel spreadsheet to update who’s giving lifts to whom, due to an update I can’t use it anymore on my iPad without paying. So I’m looking for a slightly different way to volunteer.
But, good news, Imogen’s burn is healing well, 10 days difference in a youngster, pictures. She went back t9 school Monday with a skip in her step, DD got a call back from GP’s receptionist today, DD knows Finley has an ear infection, but she mentioned he has a runny nose…PCR test, isolate until negative result and no antibiotics until it’s back. Reading from a script, no initiative.
Yia it’s going to be a chore, but should leave you spanking new. I’ll bid you all a gentle evening.
Good evening Kitcheners, I am feeling much better today, thank you all. I have loaded and unloaded the washing machine but Mr. B has done the ‘hanging our and bringing in’ bit. He’s also done the weekly shop, so I have been quite lazy! I have to admit my arm is hurting, but no more dizziness or fuzzy head. Glad you’re feeling better muse. Happy birthday Chicken, hope you had a good day. I’m so glad you’ve found some comfort today Panache, those are good friends
A late but warm happy birthday chicken. Pleased you’ve enjoyed it.
Goodness, that did look sore jax, Imogen is a brave little soul.
Sounds as if things are going well for Mr Soop, relief all round soop. Pleased you’re both home safe.
A hug and for you hellogirl. I’m pleased there are people close by to care for you panache, look after yourself now.
Good luck to your son for tomorrow mattsmum, pleased you feel better blossoming, don’t overdo things now.
It’s been a busy kitchen as ever, I’ll not have remembered everyone so my apologies for leaving folk out.
We had a chatty, catch up lunch with a friend on Monday. 18 months has been far too long. An overnight stay permitted us to re-visit Lacock this morning, a pretty NT village it has starred in many a period drama. Nine years since we were there the Abbey formal gardens look so different, allowed to just grow rather than be manicured into,perfection, we very much enjoyed being there. If the system allows I’ll attach a couple of photos of the village Church and one of a colourful front garden. I’ve always thought living in an NT village must be rather like living in a real life film set, certainly the audience is there. We plan another trip on Thursday, No idea where just now, we may know by Thursday 
.
Sleep well everyone.
Good afternoon to all our kitcheners.
The photo of Imogen's scald is looking very much improved. Keep on healing, Imogen. You are doing famously.
corner Many years ago we visited Lacock. It is chocolate-box picturesque. One of our albums contains several photos so like yours.
gillgran We are hoping for better news of your granddaughter. The waiting is very stressful.
Our eleven month old great grandson will be in hospital and being prepared for the heart surgery scheduled for tomorrow. His mummy and daddy are with him.
Blossoming If your dizzy/fuzziness returns, haste ye to the GP. That's an order.
Nannytopsy That's a wise plan. Best get the bite looked at.
Mattsmum Good wishes to your son for successful laser eye surgery. A friend of ours has had both eyes treated. She is totally happy with the result.
Please may Grandmaatty* and I help to polish off the steak and ale pie? We are both great fans of that particular dish.
chicken You deserved your extra special birthday.
For my sins, I've been bagging clothing (unused in the main) in readiness for a visit to the Red Cross shop and the Salvation Army. Note to self...no more purchases unless to replace Sloggi pants. I do no need any more garments. 
. I mean it!
Fern aka "Sweetie Pie" called for breakfast. She continues to lose weight. However, she ate three meals in the space of twenty minutes. A whole tin of tuna (laced with worming granules) and two pouches of Sheba's gourmet fish dishes, complete with a sprinkling of Purina cat biscuits. Mr Soop commented...she prefers the food served in her usual dish, rather than a new fangled double dish that a friend kindly donated. I ask you. 
I shall return tomorrow. My thoughts are with all of you who need comforting. I know exactly how you are feeling. 
[sleep]
Hi all, soop I’m sure your grandson will be fine, but understand you will be awaiting news ? Finley has had a negative PCR, all back to school tomorrow and antibees for his ears. I had a lovely lunch in the sun at our good friends house with another mutual friend, the sun was hot. The flowers picture were for my friend, dopey here left them on our kitchen table, I’ve arranged delivery of a similar bunch for her. So kitcheners, you can share them this bonny evening which I hope you are all enjoying.
Garden watered, MrJ cooking, all is good, take care, you are all important x
gillgran, I hope your DGD is now on the way to recovery. I know how you must be feeling. I've been worried about mine - as mentioned up-thread - who has left her phone off and not answered my voice-mail. She was beginning to recover when I spoke to her at the weekend, wanted to eat, but not looking forward to it as she can't taste anything. I wish I wasn't 150 miles away but there wouldn't be much I could do if I was closer. Today I noticed that Covid tests were again being done just down the road from me so I drove in and had a PCR test as I have realised that being double vaxed doesn't make you immune - like poor DGD!
A lovely hot day here with a nicely cooling breeze. Lunch with my friend whose post-chemo hair is growing back and looks like a silver cap!
Today's good news: youngest DGS (13) got an attainment award for Ethics and Morality in Y8. Perhaps he will turn out to be a philosopher. His big brother awaits results to find out if the 6th form will accept him and for what subjects.
Time for a and 
TOYA
