Soop`s cheerful recuperative kitchen

soop I am well aware we do not normally use 4 letter words here but the one I use for you as do others, is rest and so far you have been adhering to it.

Hopefully you will be able to sit outside very soon and enjoy the sunshine.

A sunny, cheerful afternoon greeting to you lovely lot.

Grandmabatty Such a happy post.

brook Your photos are special. Continue to enjoy your well deserved holiday.

Grandmadinosaur Do come join us more often.

Baggs Message received and understood.

About to do as I'm told. Feet up and a .

I'm so glad yoyr DGS enjoyed his visit to Big Boy Nursery, Grandmabatty, hope he's having a great time today!

Your gentle walk will have done you a power of good, Soop, uplifting for the spirits.

Jaxjacky, glad to hear that your son is on the mend.

Gorgeous flowers, thank you Tilly.

YiaYia, fingers crossed for your DGS.

Sounds like a wonderful holiday, Brook, enjoy every minute!

I'm resting while DGS2 has his nap, we've been out in the garden all morning playing with his construction toys in the sunshine.

I hope everyone can enjoy a little bit of sunshine ? today, TOYA.

Thank you ladies. Hopefully he'll still be happy when he goes all day!

What a lovely day GrandmaBatty and memories made for when he’s grown up. So glad you are getting out and enjoying the weather soop.
We have made inroads into the garden in our slow way and tomorrow I shall give the lawn its first cut. That will make such a difference.
Sleep tight ?

I’ve just read back, I was rushed earlier. Indeed good news Grandmabatty the boy seems raring to go.
A holiday, abroad Nannytopsy decision made, how exciting for you ??

So pleased your DGS had such a lovely first day today at his big nursery grandmabatty!

Hi all, a better day, what a load of lemons brook sounds like you’re having a lovely, relaxing time.
Every day a little progress soop, excellent.
I bought a new extension lead to use cutting the grass, MrJ will do at the weekend, unless I get round to it; weeded, put my last plants in and generally enjoyed the outside. I may need to water at the weekend, who’d have thought it in March!
I slept through for 8 hours last night, needed it, you just crack on don’t you when needed, sleep restores.
Have a lovely evening all x

That sling is quite something, jax! Glad the op went well though.

I'm another who, sad to say, finds the scent of hyacinths (and many other flowers!) overpowering in a headachy sort of way. But the colour is lovely.

Glad to hear about the walk in the village, soop. Keep up the good work under MrS's watchful eye

Not a regular here but pop in from time to time to check on your progress dear Soop
It seems to be going well and I’m sure these sunny days will help.
You’ve earnt that gin Grandmabatty cheers !

Lovely photos brook2704 I love Soller and the oranges there. When we were in Palma we spotted a woman take one from a tree and proceed to taste it but her face said it all! I’ll stick with supermarket ones I think.

Enjoy your evenings Grans.

Lovely pics Brooke looks like your having a good time.
Beautiful hyacinths Tilly my favourite.
We have just tested today,ok so far.Youngest GS just has a cough but otherwise feels fine.Number 2 son tested positive yesterday!We are hoping eldest GS is ok, he’s doing exams all this week?
Have a pleasant evening everyone after a such a warm sunny day.?

Today was an unexpected grandma day! Dgs1 went to the "big boy nursery" for an hour to ease him in. He ran in and didn't look back!? However coming out was a different story. He was breaking his heart at having to leave and nothing would console him but to come to grandma's house. I took him for three hours or so and we've had lots of fun. Dd managed to get the washing put away. He's so excited about going again tomorrow. It's very good news and augurs well. When I took him home, dd handed me dgs2 and I fed him. Home again to clean the mayhem in the garden and house. I've had a lovely day. I'm so fortunate. I've made a chicken curry for tea and I'm relaxing with a gin. Have a good evening Kitcheners.

Beautiful hyacinths Tilly thank you so much they really brighten the kitchen!
Some gentle walking Soop sounds just about right, not too much though with lots of rests. That’s excellent very quick service from the dentist too - no time to worry about the appointment!
We’ve had another lovely day today, bus to Soller and then a lovely walk down through orange and lemon groves to the Port de Soller. It was then time the usual ice cream in the afternoon and a sit and relax watching the world go by

Tilly I swear that I can virtually smell the heady perfume of the lovely hyacinths. And, I love the pot.

A few days ago, I thought that part of a filling had broken off from an upper tooth. I am afraid of the dentist's drill but knew that I should do something about it before matters worsened. Phoned at ten this morning. In the chair at eleven. All sound. I was out of the surgery that fast my feet barely touched the ground.

As per your sensible advice, I shall sit down for a wee while. We had a very short walk beside the loch in Tarbert after the dental appointment. A sunny day with a hint of a chilly breeze.

Lovely hyacinths Tilly!
I’ve put a bucketful of energy by the Aga if anyone wants to help themselves. Off up the steps to do a bit more weeding. I have to keep stopping when knee and hip start to complain.

soop, it’s great that you had a walk round the village and met up with friends. Onwards and upwards it is now.
Tilly those are lovely hyacinths and I really (well almost) can smell them from here.

Beautiful hyacinths Tilly, I tend to find their perfume a bit heavy when we have them in the house but the scent from here is just right. Lovely container too.
Jax that sling will certainly stop anyone accidentally knocking into your son’s hand! I so glad that he was called back into hospital, what a relief for you all.

soop a little stroll and a blether in the sunshine is powerful medicine and I’m sure you’re doing what you are told otherwise.

Ta very much ? Grandmabatty
I wish you could smell those hyacinths - such a pretty fragrance. They are getting heavy on top so I may need to find “stakes” for them today.

Beautiful flowers Tillytrotter. You can have some energy from me. I'll zap it through the internet.?

PS batty and topsy please wrap up a bundle of your energy and send to me asap!

Just popped in to read yesterday’s kitchen news and so heartened to see you had a wee walk soop , ?
a trip to a nature reserve for you Blossoming ?
and a huge sigh of relief could be felt from you Jaxjacky . Your son is all fixed up - well done to Mum’s taxi ?.
Topsy and batty - note to selves “must slow down”, reading about your busy-ness makes me feel giddy ?
Skies of sunshine make our hearts feel lighter even if there is still a nip in the air.
Take care everyone - thinking of you all (even though I can’t mention each and everyone).
Special thoughts for our “BladeAnnie” who is taking a rest from GN. Missing you, sending ?, and hope you will come back soon.

So busy here! Jax that lucky boy! Great sling though.
Lovely photos of Valdemosa which we have enjoyed.
Are you sitting down soop? ?
Done a stint in the garden and will do some more tomorrow. DS dropped in the bring me some sewing. Fortunately we sat outside as tonight he tested +ve. Oh dear! DDIL still positive so we get to go to DGS’s class assembly, in a school where everyone seems to have Covid. Masks firmly in place then!
Sleep well everyone.
PS we are going to Turkey in 3 weeks time!

Goodnight dear Kitcheners, we had a lovely time out in the fresh are at a local nature reserve and I was so sleepy this evening. So happy to hear you’ve been out Soop, isn’t it lovely getting your life back x

Fingers crossed for you Yia.

Yiayia hope your DGS is ok and hasn’t passed it on to you.
Soop so pleased to hear you’ve been out in the sunshine. That’s great news. Hope all is going well.
