Here we are again
Happy as can be (whatever the circumstances)
All good pals
And jolly good company.
Welcome dear peoples. Tuck into our buffet of home-baked goodies. 
Good evening lovely Kitcheners, it was raining here first thing but soon settled down into a dry but dull day. We have had a chilled bank holiday and spent quite a lot of it dawdling around the marina. It’s getting busy over there now the boating season is started. The swing bridge has been working overtime.
I have to be up very early tomorrow to go for a blood test, so it’s an early night for me. I’ll leave you with this yacht entering the marina. I could happily watch them all day.
I don’t think I’ve visited Soop’s kitchen before, but I can assure you that I’m kindly! I also love food and cooking. I made lemon ice cream yesterday and will make a barmbrack this week. This is our new favourite fruit cake and comes from a Felicity Cloake recipe in the Guardian. I’ve had a sort of an odd day. I did my first in-person Waitrose shop in months. I got carried away and bought a raspberry tart topped with rose wine jelly, chicken samosas, my favourite chicken, pork and ham pie. We were hoping to make final decisions on paint colours. We have more or less decided on the lounge but… this is how it’s looking for the kitchen and hall and landing:
Good Evening all kitcheners. I have much to read and will catch up with all before bed.
brook2704 I had a window seat too. There and back. We were sat right behind the pilot so MrM was really pleased to have the aisle seat. The SkyBus takes 19 passengers. We had a lovely black labrador ? for company on the return home.
I finally got to see Abbey Gardens on Tresco. It is such an amazing place and I never stopped taking photos. Glorious weather every day, with just a few clouds occasionally. Lots of fantastic food, mainly crab for me. Catching a boat between islands was much a kin to catching a bus here except the tide dictates when and where you jump on a boat. The photo shows one of the jetties on Bryher. The sand was a sparkly white.
The world gig championships started on our last day. We managed to see the first race and St Mary's ladies team win with their new gig Zelda.
I'd love to visit the islands again and take them at an even greater leisurely pace.
Sorry to read your post Yia. Thinking of you ? .
Glorious sunset soop, thank you but I will now raise my glass of G+T to you all and read the kitchen news.
It is a beautiful, tranquil end of afternoon. The sea is flat calm. There is a little haziness over the islands. Time for a refreshing , methinks.
TOYA and wishing you a peaceful and pleasant evening. Until tomorrow... 
Judd Trump is most certainly doing his best to make the snooker final unmissable. It takes courage to come back from a very disappointing previous day's session. I shall most certainly be cheering him on this evening. Come on, Judd. You can do it. 
gillgran We both had our second boosters a short time ago. Like you, we are about the only members of our family who have not succumbed to Covid.
Mr Soop is debating the pros and cons of two methods of travel to the Glasgow hospitals for his cataract surgery. When he says that he's "thinking about his options", I keep quiet and leave him to decide.
