Soop`s cheerful recuperative kitchen

So very sorry to hear of the sad loss of your dear friend Aldom sincere condolences to all ?

Aldom, I'm so sorry to hear that your dear friend has died, sending love and prayers. ???

MrSoop, thank you for yesterday's update, I'm later catching up today. So good to hear that both you and Soop are getting along steadily with your new routines. One day at a time

A very heartfelt thank you to all, too many to mention, for the kind wishes for me and DH. He's taking it easy, hoping for word from outpatients soon. ?He was excused from babysitting duties yesterday, I went through on my own. The wee boy was puzzled, missed his Papa. Papa missed him too, I had to promise to send him photos/videos!

No morning Mass today cos of the snow, a day in the hoose is welcome. I'm thankful for the online stream.

Thinking of all with worries, illness or sorrow, take care.

Sorry to hear your sad news Aldom.

Scary world news today, take care my friends.

for you all.

I’m so sorry, Aldom. Life is precious, especially now in the face of war. Take care of each other. Xxx

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I've invited a mutual friend over for a homemade soup lunch. It's better than sitting alone with my thoughts.

I’m so very sorry Aldom. A very sad loss

So sorry for the loss of your dear friendAldom ?

Dearest Aldom your dear friend is free from further suffering. Us lot are here to gently embrace you and support you in whatever way we are able. I wish that we could do something more constructive.

Stoma a trifle sore and noises from the bowel are akin to a train rushing through the underground. Still no interest in food. Not a bad thing. There is a blubber to shift.

District nurse phoned to say that she'll call by tomorrow.

Weather weird. Huge seas. Hail and lashing rain. Snow covered mountains. Best course of action...remain put and read a book.

My love to you ALL. Especially those of you in distress.

So sorry for your loss Aldom

So sorry for your loss Aldom?

I’m so sorry Aldom, when we lose a friend we lose part of ourselves. I hope it helped having company today.

Staying put sounds good soop. It’s convalescence time now.

Quiet day today after being with family yesterday. It’s our elder sons birthday, he’s been for a pre flight covid test, off on long haul tomorrow. He’s a seasoned traveller, used to travelling alone so why is his Mum anxious? Foolish woman.

Thank you dear Soop for your lovely thoughts. And thank you to all who have written messages. Our mutual friend came for lunch and we were able to talk about our much loved friend. We haven't hugged since the pandemic began but when my friend was leaving we had a long, meaningful hug. Sometimes a hug speaks volumes.
Take care everyone.

Sending gentle hugs Aldom. Friends are the family we choose. I am concerned about a friend today too and have an inkling of how you might be feeling.

Lovely to see you soop, but that is enough exercise for 1 day. My grandchildren love to ask Alexa to fart - could you have a sideline with anatomical noises?

Sending my condolences and virtual (((hugs))) Aldom

Just a quick message as I need to read through again concentrating properly, my lovely originally Russian cleaner is cleaning round me at the moment so it’s a bit difficult. I asked if she was worried about her mother but she said that although today is extra hard as it is the anniversary of her father’s death and I think N was Daddy’s girl, her Mother had got used to living alone and her brother called in once a week or so!

Aldom my sincere condolences, I’m glad you had a mutual friend to talk to.

MaybeMaw thank you for that suggestion, I shall have a Google as my hands arent as strong as they used to be. Normally I know how to do it and I suppose it doesn’t really matter if any excess runs on to the pillow.
I normally manage alright but it’s the lying down and doing it that’s the problem.

Before my brain gives up completely for the day.I must mention Urmstongran, who was an amazing virtual support to me yesterday when I was having a bit (a large bit)of a wobbly. ?

Thank you to Mr soop for all his updates and love to both Mr. and Mrs soop. Hopefully you can have time for rest and recovery now.

I’m going to read through again and take time to enjoy the Mimosa that I noticed earlier now.

I was so sorry to read about your friend Aldom.
Continued love being sent to the Soops.
I went out for my dinner today, nothing fancy, just fish and chips at Wetherspoons, but it was good, and made a nice change. I was with daughter 3, DIL and my niece. They`re flying off to New York tomorrow until Monday, had just been for their covid tests.

I had a lovely lunch in the form of afternoon tea with my dd. She had spa treatments at a lovely local hotel and I joined here. She paid for my lunch too. It was so nice but time spent with her alone is precious as she usually has the boys. My best to you all, especially Soop.

Kittylester hoping for the best for your friend. Thank you and GG for your hugs.

Good Evening dear kitcheners from the beautiful North Yorkshire Coast. Sincere condolences on the passing of your friend Aldom ??. Soop I'm so pleased to see that you are home - take things very steady and look after yourself ?. Extremely disturbing news from Russia isn't it? I think we were probably expecting it to happen but it's still more than a little shocking ?. Enjoy the rest of your Thursday. TOYA

Aldom sorry to hear your sad news. Hope having the company of a mutual friend today helped,
Hi Pepper you are welcome in the kitchen if you continue posting. Hope you have a good weekend.
Soop I can understand you not being interested in food but please make sure you are getting some nourishment you will need it to help you recover. I’m pleased to hear the District Nurse is coming over tomorrow. Hopefully she will be able to give you something for the soreness. Much love ?
Dustyangel nice to get some support from GN. Glad Urms was such a help to you.
Grandmabatty that sounds like a nice chance to catch up with your Dd and have a girly chat.
Kitty hope things are ok for you.
TOYA

‘Evening All’

A late post from me. We were over to see friends we’ve known for 40+ years tonight. So wonderful to meet up - it’s been too long. We know their boys from babies, they know our girls. Chatting away was effortless and comforting. Like putting on a old pair of slippers.

Aldom I’m so sorry to hear your dear friend passed. I hope you gained comfort meeting a mutual friend. You will hopefully have shared joyful anecdotes in remembrance.
dustyangel I’m so glad you seem more positive today. Upwards and onwards dear lady! Same for you soop with your convalescence = the gradual recovery of health & strength. x

Ha! Forgot Dixon.
No show without Punch ...

Herewith the white hyacinths I brought to the kitchen as tight buds on the Sunday you went into hospital Soop.
I left them with strict instructions not to bloom until you are back with us.
They have fulfilled their brief! ?

Just stopping by to wish you all a good night lovely Kitcheners

Goodnight everyone.
