Good afternoon greetings lovely peoples.
Dear Yia, this is a very sad time for you and your family. I wish that I could do something useful for you. All that I can do is send my love together with all the other caring kitcheners. 
Grandmabatty You are a lovely, "get on with it" grandma. After yesterday's catastrophe, you have rallied and I can smell the chicken as it roasts in your slow cooker. You have triumphed over adversity. Well done.
Nannytopsy Please relax until you are fully recovered. I do as I'm told most of the time, I therefore prescribe an extra dose of rest and recuperation. 
A lovely sunrise. Thank you for sharing it with us us lot.
corner The bit about you being relieved that your dear husband is having a hearing test, made me 
. I know exactly how grateful you must be feeling.
Mr Soop had a phone call from a Glasgow hospital this morning. He has an appointment in three and a bit weeks time. Could mean that the cataract removals will follow soon thereafter.
muse Enjoy your break. We look forward to hearing about it.
Jax Shepton Mallet is a delightful town. We have fond memories of visits that we made many years ago.
Shazza , Like brook, we have also spent happy visits (long ago) to delightful Beverly. At the time, we had relatives living in Yorkshire. They have since moved to Australia.
The sun continues to shine. I continue to paint the wee terrier portrait. So far, so good.
Well over a month ago, I had my remaining breast x-rayed. No result to date. I rang the nurse at the hospital and she had left a message on her answering machine asking callers to leave a message, which I did earlier today.
I then called the GP's prescription number to put in a request for meds. The answer machine there notified me that the tape is full and cannot take further requests for the time being. I am perplexed. 
Hey ho!
I shall make Mr Soop a well deserved 
. He has made a fine job of tidying the garden.
Until tomorrow.
