Hope your Crowdfunding setup is successful today soop. Safe journey home Granmarie it sounds like a wonderful trip. I’m glad you got to see your family before any new restrictions, I think mask wearing is a good idea at the moment, wish people here were more open to it. Personally I never stopped but I don’t get out very often.
This morning’s Zoom meeting went very well, the lady instructor is lovely. She told us a bit about how the sessions are structured, then asked us to each say how we heard about the program and what we hoped to get out of it. It was interesting hearing everyone’s story and not at all daunting telling mine. We are all in the same boat after all. She then talked briefly about how and why people develop diabetes later in life. Next session next Monday. An hour long web meeting is quite tiring for me, off to rest my eyes now 
TOYA
Safe journey home Grannmarie. What a lovely start to Christmas for you. My two boys visited grandma today. I am very lucky to have such a close family.
What handsome boys, Grandmabatty, big brother looks so proud and delighted!
Blossoming, your course sounds excellent, very supportive and informative. Zoom is the way to go!
Tilly, we've enjoyed every minute, lots of family reminiscing as well as amazing sight seeing at the weekend. So very thankful.
Now comes the scary bit, I'm not a big fan of flying, especially overnight. Wish we could just ' Beam me up, Scotty'.
Still, I'm looking forward to getting home and seeing my family and DGC after our isolation.
My sister in law has made lots of lovely pancakes for breakfast, with scrambled eggs, and bacon, so I've left some covered plates on the table for all you lovely Kitchen people, enjoy an all day breakfast !
Grandmabatty Adorable, cuddlesome, precious wee ones. I can feel your pleasure.
Granmarie We are all delighted that your visit has given you and the family so much pleasure. We also look forward to you returning to the kitchen. Our thoughts are with you.
Blossoming A giant positive step in the right direction. Good for you.
You lovely lot continue to keep me on the right track. Our friend has only just called in and has taken away the information that we have drafted. He will phone tomorrow to discuss any tweeking that he deems necessary.
It has been a tiring day. Hope springs eternal. I shall return tomorrow and share further news with you. 
‘Evening All’
A delicious meal tonight of pork chops with cabbage. Ooh to taste and smell and enjoy my food once more is an absolute delight Jax! So much so we even had pudding - chopped banana with hot custard.
I’m off out for a walk tomorrow. Definitely. Wet & milder is our forecast so I shall wrap up accordingly and get myself back into the Land of the Living. Actually I’m looking forward to it. I’ve finished all 50 episodes of ‘Better Call Saul’.

Just popping in again. We had to cut short out trip down south because of Storm Arwen and came back last night. With the extra miles because of closed roads it was well over 550 miles. The house was a heady 7deg when we got in. I got the coal fire going and we slept in the sitting room. The cat got into ‘bed’ with me and purred all night.
There’s no forecast of when we’ll get power and other services back so my dd arranged for us to stay somewhere near her, where we could bring the cat. That was another 100 mile drive this morning, on no breakfast until we found a cafe that had power.
Contents of both fridge freezers have had to be binned, apart from some meat I managed to salvage and bring down to dd to cook and freeze. It could be worse though. A friend who grows all her own fruit and veg has lost an entire year’s worth of produce.
There’s been little help from the council or government. Care home residents have had no heating, hot food or drink since Friday. 
Almost all support has been from private individuals - thank goodness for those generous souls.
