Soop's welcoming kitchen for kind and caring folk...

Hellogirl congratulations on the arrival of Alby.
Soop I'm glad to see that Sweetiepie has returned home at last

Hellogirl1 Hearty congratulations on the arrival of Alby Lyndon. May he reach his full potential and live a meaningful life.
I am also wishing your great nephew a full and swift recovery.
You are also suffering the buggerations of Plantar Fasciitis. I have only known one friend, long ago, who had surgery for the same thing. She recovered well. It is however, a tricky medical procedure. You are in our thoughts. (hugs)

Dearest Doodle Mr Soop and I will be with you in spirit. Please, do try not to get the Argy raided by the flying squad. And, if you should, be gentle with the boys in uniform. They may take your sweet, endearing ways into account. A night in the cellar may not be too uncomfortable. X

Congratulations Hellogirl. A lovely new baby to finish off the year. I like his name.

Hellogirl, I hope your great nephew makes a speedy and complete recovery.
Congratulations on your newest DGGS!

Congratulations on the newest addition to your family hellogirl - what wonderful news! x

Shame on me, I omitted to mention that my newest great grandson was born at 8.20 am on Tuesday morning. He weighed 6lbs, and is to be called Alby Lyndon. He wasn`t due till January 13th.

Many happy returns of the day, Muse!????

Hello, lovely Kitchen people ❤

Cornergran, Blossoming, Soop, thank you.

Soop, I'm delighted to hear that Sweetie Pie is home at last! ?

Grandmabatty, snap ! Santa ? brought me a new Fitbit too! I'm fair amazed at the new features of the Luxe compared to my old Charge. Today I had a wee park walk with my sisters, so I've managed over 11,000

TOYA, NNGB

Happy Birthday Muse!
So glad that Sweetie Pie has made an appearance at long last. Hopefully not long now Soop before your other problem disappears.
My Plantar Fasciitis is now affecting just one foot, but oh boy, is it affecting it! I`ve made an appointment for next Wednesday at an acupuncture clinic, living in hope!
It hasn`t been a great Christmas really. My great nephew, aged 25 and has Cerebral palsy, was over here to spend Christmas with his parents and grandad, but last Thursday morning his mum found him unconscious behind the kitchen door, looked like he`d had a seizure. He was in a coma until Monday, but even after waking up he was very confused. He`s still awake, but it`s going to take time. He lives on his own in his own place 150 miles from here.

Doodle ???

charleygirl sssh ? don’t talk too loudly. We’re hoping to have the Argy stay open New Years Eve so we can have a party for soop . We are hoping to avoid elf and safety until next week when we close again.
Any chance we can tempt you across the threshold of again? We have a very handsome new barman ?
Grandmabatty you say you are sporting a brand new Fitbit. Would that be Bjorn from the Argy? I knew it wouldn’t be long before you got your hands on him, and let’s face it he’s as fit as they come ?
Glad Sweetie Pie has returned soop. You are a very brave lady and much respected for your handling of what must be a dreadful situation. Your honesty and willingness to talk about a delicate subject must be a help to others going through similar things. Whether you make it to the Argy or not tomorrow, know that you will be the toast of the night along with the wonderful Mr Soop .
Urms you may have mentioned before but i have missed it, why are you stopping? Must be a fantastic record of your life. With my bad memory, I wish I’d thought of it years ago.
TOYA ?

soop, I am keeping an eye on the kitchen and just want to send you a huge ((((hug)))).

Off to catch up now!!

End of many reflections Urms what a fascinating history.
Glad sweetie is back soop some solace for you during difficult times x
I ventured to small M&S, picked up the sale towels I’d ordered and headed home, miserable grey, drizzly day.
Ham leek and turkey pie in the oven.
Glad you’re there brook enjoy!
Have a good evening all x

‘Evening All’

Just slid some pork steaks in the oven. A quiet, easy day. Himself will torture himself tonight by watching Man. Utd.

I shall write the penultimate entry in my diary/journal. A quick entry tomorrow as it’s NYE and then that’s IT. No more end of day reflections for me. It will seem strange to stop. I’ve done it for exactly 30 years.

So glad SweetiePie is home soop. As for the other matter - not long now, poor you. ?

You lot make me smile. Thank you. Not the best of days. "Drop bot" is now so bad I need to wear big nappies. Awful accidents. Lovely husband to help me to put matters to rights. It is what it is.

I may not be as chatty as I would like to be, for obvious reasons. I do think about you AND nothing short of a power cut will keep me out of our wonderfully supportive kitchen.

Away to clear away several licked-clean dishes belonging to a very special feline friend. It was a joy to welcome her into the utility room after a long absence. Such a sweet face. Such a sweet nature.

Bye for now.

Happy birthday Muse. I hope you are having a lovely day. Brook enjoy the New Year with your family. Soop that's also good news about Sweetie pie. I am sporting my new Fitbit which has counted the number of steps I have done while watching dgs1. Rather more than I thought! I'm going to have a little glass of something. Have a good evening Kitcheners.

Love the card Tilly . Today has been made extra special for me with all your lovely, kind messages. They have brought me that sunshine Jax which, sadly, isn't outside. Thank you all.

I'm wandering through the threads Blossoming and will find that message. Thank you.

We have dinner tonight courtesy of Waitrose and MrM and myself will share the preparation. Just enjoyed a wet, muddy walk with Mya. She was determined to splash me when leaping over puddles.

Again, this year I miss my DD being here. Her visit had to be cancelled but a FaceTime celebration will happen tonight. We have done a breakfast one already.

Sorry to hear of your sad news Dogsmakemesmile?

Wishing muse a very Happy Birthday- enjoy your special day! ????
Thank you all for your good wishes - we’ve just arrived at Luton now and we’re waiting for our pick up ?
So pleased Sweetie Pie has shown up soop what a little madam she is

I am delighted to hear that Sweetie Pie is back Soop ! Whenever someone posts that a pet us missing I keep checking for the post saying all is well. Could you entice her in ?
Thinking of the sad and worried in the kitchen and wishing Muse a lovely day.?

soop that minx knows which side her bread is buttered being able to come and go as she fancies knowing she will receive a meal or three when she does appear.

Doodle I did many hours of research prior to buying the air fryer and I have not been disappointed. Like others, I bought a cheaper model so I could work out what I did or did not want. The sheer size is a bit off-putting.

Re the Argy, is refurbishment not a polite name for a rebuild? You know Health and Safety would not allow you to open it in its present state. The local police force is having a well-earned rest.
TOYA

I’m made up for you soop - Sweetie Pie has returned ?‍⬛

Nannytopsy Bless you. As ever, you are a kind and generous lady. My washing machine is busy right now. Also...ta dah...*Sweetie Pie* has graced us with a long awaited visit.

I am sorry to hear of your sad news, Dogsmakemesmile and Granmarie. I hope that you are being comforted and supported by family and friends.

Doodle You, my dear, are a tyke!

Brook Have a lovely time. Make extra special memories.

Happy birthday muse ?????
May you have an extra special time today, maybe a glimpse of sunshine too ?.
