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. 
Evening folks. Lovely photos Soop. We had a lovely visit to the Japanese gardens near Dollar in Clackmannanshire this afternoon. We were given a voucher for entry and afternoon tea as a gift.It was very peaceful walking around and the gardens are very well tended. We were very lucky as the weather stayed dry and was not windy or cold. That will do us no dinner necessary tonight or maybe just a small snack later.
Have a pleasant evening kitcheners.
A late visit, again. Fabulous photos soop, some wonderful memories made.
How are you now neine?Life’s trip wires can be hard to navigate.
That’s a very elegant wreath grandmab. A very serene place scapa. I love hearing about places too far away to visit.
You’ve been busy ann, your meal will be excellent, I just know it.
Apologies, I know there are many I’ve missed. Please don’t be offended. The head doesn’t hold it all.
To end with some positive news from yesterdays hospital visit. We had a long session with yet another Italian Professor. A people person he took time, understood how scary it had been and was as reassuring as it’s possible to be. He appreciated seeing a copy of the surgery ECG and was grateful for my (very long) BP list. It all gave him a picture of what had happened. Yesterdays ECG was as normal as it could be. He was able to explain it all to us and share an opinion it is very unlikely it will occur with such force again. Medication tweaked, he asked we continue to monitor heart rate and BP daily for a month, can move to every two or three days then and gradually tail off. The GP will be first port of call, he advised we have a review with her in a month. If we’re really concerned then to call the department secretary and request an appointment. We’re so grateful for the level of care, can’t fault it. Also grateful for our sons ability to avoid traffic jams, our route through central Bristol was at a standstill yesterday.
We’re both much more relaxed today although sniffling, hoping a reaction to the covid jabs and not colds, they definitely aren’t allowed

Hope Charley has had a good day.
Feet up time now and an early night. As ever, TOYA.
Hello everyone, I seem to have had an exhausting day. Sort of. I drove my friend and I to our nearby town and attended an Art Society lecture on Georgian Art and Architecture. It was very interesting. They get excellent speakers. Later I collected Milo and Ripley’s de-flea medication. £99.76 for the two
I then click and collected a new small frying pan from Waitrose. Someone was supposed to come from BT between 1pm and 6 pm to do something to our landline. They didn’t turn up.
Those are beautiful photos Soop. You all look so happy!
Sleep tight.
Would you credit it...Saturday has been all go. I imagined that we would have a chill-out day. Wrong! I have now to empty the washing machine that beeped a very long time ago, only to be ignored.
Dropped by to see friends. Caught up with another pal that we rarely see. Been on Facebook, looking at photos taken around Glencoe. Awaiting news that son and daughter-in-law have conquered Ben Nevis. Today's weather is much improved.
Will raise a glass of cheer to all our lovely Kitcheners at the appropriate time; 8:30 sharp. 
It really sounds as though MrCG has turned a corner, Cornergran. It’s been a long old haul for you but it’s coming right at long last.
Those tarmac delays are so awful Yia partly because you don’t know how long you’re going to be there for. We had to wait so long on a flight to Australia we ended up having to taxi back to the gate to refuel! We then had a mad rush in Doha for our onward connection. I hope the stay on Corfu is making you feel better.
Glad you’ve arrived safely in Basel, Brook. Charleygirl. We’re all 29 in our heads, aren’t we?
I hope your evening with your friend went well, Annsixty.
Gmbatty I don’t know how you manage two small children at once! I’ve never done that - the minimum age gap between my own DC was four years so it’s not something I’ve ever had to do.
Our day turned out somewhat different from that planned. We’d been going shopping with dd1 without the GC but her Dh had to work and she wasn’t going to drag two kids to the shops. Instead, I made an arrangement with a friend to meet for coffee in a garden centre and dd and the GC joined us there, which was nice. Then GD decided she wanted to come back to our house and have her tea with us, so we did that, taking her home just in time to be put to bed.
Tomorrow is supposed to be wet and windy so we’ll see what morning brings. Good night everyone. Xxx
Hello Kitchen people! Just a quick visit. I spent the day in London with daughter, elder son and granddaughter. We had a delicious lunch at a Persian restaurant and then spent a couple of hours at the Transport Museum open day in Acton. Here are me and elder son in the midst of it all:
