‘Evening All’.
Goodness it’s wet and windy hereabouts. We’ve just eaten and are cosying down for the evening - in separate rooms ha! We like such different entertainment on our screens!
We took the Boy Wonder and L’il Miss to their swimming lessons after I’d made tea for them at their house. We won’t see them now till Friday night when we’ve been asked to babysit (hmm. This is becoming a fixed Friday ‘thing’). 😁
The ties are loosening with the grandchildren we are noticing. No longer needed as an extra pair of hands to bath, play with littlies. It gets easier for parents (in some ways anyway) as children get older and see to themselves. And, as we get older, that’s a blessing too. Nature at its best! A bit like just as a child gets too heavy to carry on the hip, they learn to walk.
soop of course you are forgiven. This is your kitchen and you can do as little or as much as you like in it. And LLFL wonderful reassurance for you.
All the photographs shared in our kitchen are marvelous. The sunshine uplifts our spirits.
It remains blustery in Kintyre. The only snow fall thus far, covers the peaks of the mountains on the islands of Islay and Jura.
Mr Soop had his dressing changed yesterday. When he removed his cap, I couldn't refrain from laughing. He was wearing a protective white "bedcap" and looked like a character from a Charles Dicken's novel. Bless. 
The long awaited support garment for the parastomal hernia has arrived. We have had to mark the position of the stoma. I now have to wash the garment and return it to the supplier. An aperture will be machine-cut. After which, it will be returned and I shall hopefully benefit from the support it should provide.
The friend for whom I'm painting the Collie dog portrait has left further photos in the local shop. Mr Soop is preparing to collect them. I am wishing to complete the painting today. After which, I shall share a photo with you lovely lot.
Thank you for being patient with me. I seem to be slowing down at an alarming pace. With a new kitchen being prepared for our next move, I will do my best to keep apace with your messages. You matter. You are very special. I says so.
annsixty I applaud your change of mind regarding the cleaning lady. I would appreciate a cleaning lady to help me. Sadly not affordable.
Dear Mr Soop has said that I may share a photo of him wearing his night-cap. It has a knotted top. Sorry, I failed to make it apparent when I took the photo.
I’m glad to hear Mr Soop is improving, love the hat 
. I hope the stoma support is soon finished and back with you soop and brings some relief.
So sorry you were disappointed annsixty, fingers crossed it works out for the best.
The weather here is switching between sunshine, rain, snow and hailstones. Very frustrating as I have a job I need to do outside. I will just have to be patient and keep an eye on the weather station.
Very Dickensian soop . I’m more than pleased the support garment is almost ready to do its job. Any of that bread to share? Sounds just my sort of thing.
Back from a hospital appointment. A spinal procedure that has knocked me for six. It wasn’t as straightforward as it apparently is for most folk and was incredibly painful at one point. If it works (80% success rate) I can look forward to some pain relief in future. No plans now other than a restful afternoon under a heated throw. Mr C is happy to bring drinks on request. Couldn’t ask for more.
Hope that cleaner works out ann. I’d also have given her chance. If your area is anything like ours cleaners are hard to come by. We’ll need one whenever Mr C has his planned surgery and anticipate a struggle to locate one with space for us.
Our neighbours have taken off for three weeks in the sunshine. I’d love to do the same, sadly not possible but wouldn’t it be lovely for us all to have a restful time in warm sun.
Look after yourselves everyone.
Grandmabatty Gentle hugs for you as you support your dear friend. 
corner What exactly have you had done to ease your spinal pain? Take things easy for as long as needs be.
Blossoming Not so long ago, we had a terrific hailstorm. All clear. Sun is now shining. Funny old weather.
The selection of Collie dog photos, picked up by Mr Soop, have confused me further. Depending on the age of the subject, together with whether the photo was taken in or outdoors, has added to the difficulty I'm experiencing with getting his true colour correct. What a palarva.
