Soop's kitchen for kindly folk.

Yes Nannytopsy today is my birthday, how did I get to 86, I was 40ish yesterday.
I am in Llandudno with my friend across the road, it is going “ok”!!
We have had disability scooters today, what a difference they make to getting about, I have been further today than for several years under my own steam.
The weather has been kinder than we expected but very windy.
Looking forward to a steak for my birthday dinner.

O dear soop - that black dog can be so debilitating. Look after yourself and hopefully you will be back to your true self shortly. love and prayers

A very Happy Birthday to Annsixty, I hope you are enjoying your break.
Sending love and hugs to Soop, I hope you soon feel more yourself xx

🎂🥂🎂🥂🎂🥂🎂🥂

I am pleased that you are enjoying Llandudno.

Enjoy your birthday AnnSixty, I’m glad you’re enjoying your trip with your friend. Hope your husband gets his surgery soon Cornergran. Such sad news from your friend LadyLFL.

Dear Soop I hope you are feeling easier now, the kitchen will stikk be here when you’re ready.

Thank you everyone for the support and kind words. I am slowly picking myself up, dusting myself off and (not quite) starting all over again.

A very happy birthday ann. So please you are enjoying yourself.

Totally understand jax. Mr C’s repeats have just been delivered. He looked, shook his head and said at Christmas I wasn’t taking any of these. Indeed.

Go gently soop, you’ll know when it’s best to return, in the meantime know we all think of you and are willing you on.

Take care dear soop 😘

Good afternoon, Soop and lovely Kitchen people!🥰

Dear Soop, I am so sorry to read that you are experiencing depression just now. It is a normal, although upsetting, response to the sad situations you have encountered recently. Be gentle with yourself, sleep well, eat well, enjoy the outdoors, surround yourself with positive people...accept invitations...
This was the advice given, by her doctor, to my dear friend after a family bereavement. Hope it is useful?💕🙏
Many happy returns of the day, Annsixty! I'm glad you are getting out and about on your mobility scooter. I hope your time in Llandudno does you good.
YiaYia, super photos from your holiday, thank you. Im glad you are enjoying the
break. What a sad story of Plague cottage.
Ladyleftfieldlover, I'm so sorry to hear about your dear friend. I hope she has support and can be comfortable in the days to come. 🙏
Cornergran, a date at last! I'm hoping and praying that nothing changes this time. 🙏 I'm glad that you and MrC are enjoying your nice outings, they'll be a pleasant distraction and help the waiting time to pass.
Grandmabatty and Neine, I hope you busy ladies are having a more restful time today, I'm exhausted reading of all your doings! Not long till your holiday, GB, you'll be counting the sleeps!
Jaxjacky, I know what you mean about medication! At the start of the pandemic I took two tablets daily...but now after a couple of health issues, I'm into double figures...well I suppose it beats the alternative 🤣
Thinking of you all, especially those suffering in any way.
Granddog and I seem to punctuate our days with wee walks and big naps.🐕😴

A very Happy Birthday ann, I hope you’re enjoying your special day whizzing about on your scooter and hope you have a lovely birthday meal tonight ! 🎂💐🥂

I’m exhausted after workout Wednesday at the gym, all good exercise though and it was good to see all my gym buddies. Then I spent the afternoon in Costa with my pal, we were chatting away for ages and the time went so quickly.

Thank you for the lovely holiday pictures Yia, I’ve been to those places you’ve mentioned and really liked them all. I found the history of Eyam fascinating and I enjoyed the original Bakewell pudding shop

Not long nów grandmabatty I bet your two DGSs are really excited about going on the aeroplane!

Blossoming 💐

Sending gentle hugs to soop and hope this friendliest kitchen can lift your spirits a bit ❤️

Happy birthday annsixty
Loving hug for our dear soop

Thank you all for your kindness about Mr C. It’s very much appreciated.

We’ve had some very worrying news about our daughter in law today, she and her little family have tough times ahead, there are two very serious heart issues and a dangerous aneurism needing urgent but not yet emergency surgery. Same hospital. Same risk of cancellation.

It’s pull up the drawbridge time for me while I absorb and process, then I can be myself again and not squash the mood here.

In the meantime time take care of yourselves everyone, see you soon.

So sorry for your family news Corner on top of your H you don’t need more stress.
I realise just how lucky I am to still be able to travel ( and afford) and enjoy myself at my age.
It is not given to everyone.
Sincerest best wishes to all either with illness or feeling sad at this time.

Belated Happy Birthday for yesterday AnnS...I had a vision of you and your friend whizzing along the front on your mobility scooters with big smiles on your faces as people jumped out of the way of two ladies on a mission. I know you won't have done that....🤣🤣🤣. I hope the steak came up to scratch too.
Corner....as with each of us when needed...we will all keep you and your family in our thoughts ( and prayers). ♥️

Thank you all for the good wishes.
My only disappointment was an extremely bad mobile phone connection throughout the day and I was getting worried messages from my D and GD and greetings from friends to which I couldn’t reply.
I got a message to my GD via her friend as my GD doesn’t do Facebook but couldn’t get my D.
I should say it is very unusual for either of them to express concern…
Their is little communication between the two, she is my S’s daughter.
I had a good evening with an excellent steak and the staff took some photos and then gave me a box of chocolates.
We shall be off in a couple of hours for the scooters again.
Best wishes to the poorlies x

Grandmabatty
I have just seen on the GM thread that it is tomorrow you go on your family holiday.
That is lovely for you and I hope you all have a super time.
Seeing those boys on probably their first proper holiday will be a joy for you.

Thank you Annsixty. I'm whizzing through pre holiday tasks. I am looking forward to it immensely and it's kind of you to say such nice things

For you lovely lot and a virtual hug.

Just dropped into the kitchen with the good news that I have a new granddaughter born about an hour ago. All well.😊

Belated Birthday wishes Ann 🎂💐🥳🥂, it sounds as if you had a lovely and different for you day. Corner and everyone else worrying about loved ones, I send my best wishes for good results.

soop a loving hug for you.

While we have DD1 staying with us, DD2 has ended up in hospital! She started off by tripping and falling about a week ago and was thought to have cracked a femur, fortunately it proved to be only soft tissue injuries but still painful and causing many problems as she is a carer for her husband.
As her leg started to settle down she had such a bad attack of pancreatitis that she has been hospitalised. She’s had several attacks before but for some reason they are usually in the Autumn, this seems to have come out of the blue.
As her sister lives nearby and usually walks the dog and visits if she is in hospital she is feeling somewhat isolated.

Whoops I meant to wish Grandmabatty a lovely holiday too.

Congratulations Pittcity if I remember correctly this is your first GD, I hope mum is not too uncomfortable after the C-Section.
A new baby brings so much joy and love into the family ❤️❤️❤️

Yes GG13, I have 3 GSs 12,8 and 7.
