Oh how frightening, GMbatty! I will be hoping there is better news for you very soon, as I am sure all Kitcheners will be wishing for you. 
Congratulations, Cornergran! 💐
I’m envious of your view, Yia. I could send a photo of the wall of the house opposite, which is my view from one window. 
Hope you’re having fun in Cambridge, Brook.
Jaxjacky thank you for asking. The reinstatement is going v.e.e.r.r.r.y s.l.o.o.o.w.l.y. A man phoned on Weds to book in a survey in ten days time. I told him they’d already done a survey. He said ‘Have we? I’ll look at your notes. Oh yes, our Steve came out to you. Oh well, we’ll just book another survey in anyway.’ 🤷♀️ I spoke to a woman in a group I go to who was also flooded. Exactly the same there, duplicated visits, non-return of phone calls and all the rest. 🙄 So, we just plough on, really.
It’s been a busy few days again, the kind where you don’t think you’ve much on but suddenly the days fill up. Both our local GC have now met the new kitten - they are agog at TWO baby cats! 🩷💙 The newer kitten is a bit more settled but feeding her is an issue. She gets distracted/disturbed very easily so No 1 has to be removed from the scene while she eats. She’s lost some weight I think, so I’ve been hand feeding her. She’s becoming very cuddly, though and comes over to snuggle up on me. And then bite me. 😂
Yesterday I went on a snowdrop walk with friends at a nearby castle. It was a rather windy, cool day but it was sunny and the breeze blew the cobwebs away. Yesterday was also the day that my son began his new treatment. We have all been on edge about it, of course, but so far he seems ok. He has some nausea but it’s under control. Thank goodness for the internet because his siblings and us, too, have been keeping him entertained with bits of chatter and gossip, photos, jokes etc.
My 96yo mother is in hospital at the moment. She lives alone with carers coming in but they decided she needed more attention. She says she has a kidney stone although she seemed a bit confused about things (she doesn’t have dementia, though) and about her medicines so next time I visit I’ll try and speak to a nurse.
TOYA. Xxx
