Greetings to all our marvellous Kitcheners.
Here we are again
Caring as can be
All good pals and
Jolly good company.
Buffet is ready and Champagne is nicely chilled.
THANK YOU for the comfort you have brought into my life. You are all extra special people. 
Wow! It is a joy to pop into our new kitchen and see so many familiar faces. I shall sit in the "quiet corner" and enjoy your busy banter. I would love to know how many kitchens we've shared over the years. Perhaps Gransnet could enlighten us.
Ali23 You have a very good memory. Yes, I shall virtually celebrate my 82nd birthday with you lovely lot. If only it could "for real". We would have great fun and make a lot of noise. 
A new kitchen to share all our highs and lows... I'm hoping lots of the former for everyone.
SueD... It was the best news of the day reading about your son's results...and pray that the bloods with be good news too.
Corner....I am over the moon that it's all going ok for Mr C. I've had far too many surgeries over the years and can testify for sure that the 3rd day grumps are very real. I think it's after the the elation of coming through the op ok and thinking you'll be up and running in no time. Bless him and you. I do hope the buses behave themselves for you.
Baggs and Urms...love and prayers for you and your families sent and said daily.
Talking of dogs... I've attached a couple that might make you laugh... Finlay acting as my personal dresser with bra in mouth...as soon as I relieved him off it he pinched my knickers and charged off with them. The other one DOH took this morning. I had a very bad night and feel into a deep sleep at 6am and this is what happened.
I have had a few grotty nights worrying about tomorrow...it's my sister's funeral and I have decided to go. I'm going to get there early and go and sit in the balcony so I am not immediately obvious. I don't want there to be any unpleasantness ( I would hope I brought the girls up well enough not to even consider it but you never know). DOH is driving me up but although he would attend Mass with me I think it better that he doesn't... Seeing him there might be like a red rag to a bull. It will be a comfort to me to know he is close by. I'm picking some sweet peas from the garden and he is going to give them to the undertakers to put on the coffin discretely when Mass is taking place. Our Dad grew sweet peas....he died when I was 9 and I think of him now I grow them too. We were out on Saturday with the friends that were staying and Brown Eyed Girl was played. My sister used to sing that to D1 and I did feel tears starting. I hope I'll get through tomorrow ok. At the end of the day we were sisters and I'll always regret not being able to see her and say goodbye and I know she'd have wanted the same too whatever my girls may think.
Hello everybody, thank you for the warm welcome. I’m not very clever with phones but hoping I’ve managed to attach a photo of this lovely little battery lamp, it was in the sale and I could’nt resist. I have been in previous kitchens and read the morning thread for ages but decided to join in, I have had so many conversations and wishing lots of you good health and happiness. I love to know there are lots of lovely like minded people out there. I became an OAP one month before covid (I was a care assistant) and now enjoying my retirement. I look forward to everyone’s news
My goodness, I went to our little "home-from-home" in W. Norfolk on Friday, after a damp & very breezy 3 days, just got home to find a new kitchen! I must hunt to catch up on your news in the old one!
I love that there is always a spare chair in soop's friendly kitchen. .
I send warm wishes for all who are under the weather & all carers of family members.
You’ll be in my thoughts tomorrow, Neine.
Hello to the newcomers - though you feel like old friends already! ❤️
I hope MrC is feeling better today, Corner. These things always have bumps in the road, don’t they?
Australia, LLFL! How exciting! 👏
It’s almost 9pm and we are only now seeing the first bit of sun all day. It was torrential all day until about 5pm. My roses took a battering.
GD arrived at 9am. No prospect of doing anything outside so I booked a soft play session. Surely soft play centres are the tenth circle of hell!! We emerged ninety minutes later feeling as though we’d been chewed up and spat out by a T-Rex! 😂
Someone came today to estimate for window blinds but I didn’t like any of the fabrics. They were all a bit too formal for bedrooms, I’m something of a cottage flowers girl and these were too sophisticated for my taste. 
My cleaning lady came and worked her magic on us and then we took GD home at about 5pm. Then back to ours to watch the very end of the final Test match cricket. So glad Stuart Broad went out on a high - I remember his dad playing test cricket!
I’ve been ready for my bed for the last two hours, I hope I can stay awake until bedtime. 
Night night, all. Xxx
Good evening all, I was exhausted yesterday! Thank you, I had a much better night and fingers crossed it will be Ok now. MrB and I have been to the recycling centre twice today, my little office is looking much better. I’m looking forward to doing some jewellery making in there, but no hammering or barrel polishing as those are noisy. Soldering will probably also be banished to the garden workshop on safety grounds.
Neine I hope everything has gone as well as it might today
I have an ophthalmologist appointment tomorrow, I don’t know if there will be a further injection. The first one has helped.
Take care of yourselves my dear Kitcheners, TOYA
