Here we are yet again,
Happy as we can be...
All good friends and jolly good company.
WELCOME to our very own kitchen in which we celebrate happy occasions and support each other through the difficult times. 
I shall return. A few things to catch up with before I do.
Grandmabatty You have put me to shame. 
I have plenty to do but doing anything takes an awful long time. Never mind. The spirit is willing.
Yesterday's tea time treat with pals, was just what the doctor ordered. Plenty of blether and laughter. We were late returning home. Mr Soop therefore came to the rescue. We had fish and chips. Always a feast. Never bore of that meal.
*Sweetie Pie" paid three visits yesterday. I was washing dishes and she peered around the open kitchen door. We are extremely fond of her...and, I guess, she knows it. 
I’m struggling to keep up on here but I’m enjoying all your posts very much! I don’t know who/what Sweetie Pie is so I’m going to guess.
1) A fox.
2) A deer.
3) A seagull
4 An alien. 
I took my cat to the vet today. He had an episode of blindness earlier in the year, solved by tablets to reduce his high blood pressure. He doesn’t seem to be seeing again but this time the vet can’t find anything wrong with him. He suspects it’s an issue of brain function (what brain? He’s the dumbest cat ever!) for which nothing can be done so we’ll have to live with it. He’s an indoor cat so luckily he won’t be in danger outside.
This morning I had coffee with two friends. We hugged each other, first time since pre-pandemic days. Then we realised we were blocking the door to a man wanting to come in to the cafe. My friend said to him ‘Don’t worry, we won’t be hugging you as well,’ and he replied ‘That’s a pity!’ He must have been about fifteen years younger than us and it put a spring in our step!
SueDonim "Sweetie Pie" is a black, feral cat that discovered our whereabouts about a year ago. She was terrified to come anywhere near us at first. She came out of the forest and sat the other side of the garden fence. Over time, we bought her a chalet and it is furnished with a carpet, cat bed and fleece rugs. She sleeps inside the chalet/apartment on occasions, and, she knows that if she sits outside it, looking towards the kitchen window, we'll spot her. We open the back door. She strolls into the utility room and sits almost within touching distance of us as we place her food beside her. She eats heartily, Lolls around for a while, has a good cat wash and strolls back through a gap in the fence into the forest. She doesn't belong to anyone and, we call her a free spirit.
Sue That young man obviously needed a hug.
Brook Enjoy your well deserved sit down and cuppa. It sounds like the perfect day out for you and your grandson. I know that I would have enjoyed the experience.
The sun has shone today. It has been positively summery.
I wish you all a very good evening. I shall be back with you again tomorrow. 
Blossoming The neighbours must control their dog. If it had attacked a child, the outcome may have been ten times worse. I know how you are feeling. There was a dog that always sensed when we were walking by his garden fence. He'd rush out and frighten the living daylights out of me with his vicious, angry barking.
I have fear of big spiders. Having enjoyed lunch, I patted the cushion on my chair and an enormous spider ran across it. Only seconds earlier, I had sat against said cushion. Mr Soop trapped it under a tumbler and removed it to the garden. Neither of us would kill a spider. Doesn't mean that I want to share my chair with one. 
Susan Enjoy your day.
Hellogirl1 You have beautiful thick hair. I remember it well.
There may be a delivery for you tomorrow.
