Welcome!
Thank you for all your support, especially of late. I greatly appreciate your patience. You are truly the best.
Buffet is open. For those who enjoy a glass of bubbly, there is plenty in the chill cabinet.
Enjoy!
I must away for a wee while. I shall catch up later. 
I'm just popping in to tell you lovely lot about the appointment with the surgeon after lunching with dear Baggs
Her first remark was - "that's a hernia and a half". She examined me and concluded that it was not something that she could repair. She is therefore referring me to a colleague of hers in a hospital in Paisley. It is likely that he may also choose not to attempt to risk further interference. In which case, I shall continue to live with it and count my blessings. Mr Soop still awaits his letter of referral. Together we make a good team.
We need to go out for the afternoon. I therefore send my love and all good wishes to our Kitcheners who need extra special loving care. 
Granmarie thankyou that is the quote I was thinking about- we've only got the one child- not sure if that's a help or a hindrance re my present mood...
Lovely photo Baggs and Soop
Despite my present mood of the 'glums' I am sending positive thoughts and good wishes to all who might need them- hopefully they'll rub off on me 
I read Micks Good Morning thread most mornings, but rarely post as I've either got very little to say, or its nearly the afternoon; similarly re Soops Kitchen re content, nowt from me that would be of much interest!
I do enjoy keeping up with all your busyness though x
Hurray Yia I’ve been thinking of you both, it must be nerve wracking being ‘nurse’.
I hope you had a better night Redcar
Dreadful wet weather here too corner we visited my brother and his wife who took us out to lunch, from the pub we were in, two very different views left and right. We caught a thunderstorm on the way home, everywhere was nose to tail traffic.
May all of you with fuzzy heads and aching bones, covid or otherwise, improve swiftly 🙂
‘Evening All’.
Our penultimate evening here. It’s still warm (9pm). I enjoyed LWW this afternoon, just the 3 of us this week. We’re home from eating over the road at the Argentinian. Nice sitting on the terrace, people watching. Most of us still in summer clothes, no cardigans necessary but a few locals are now in jeans, jackets and boots. 😊
That reminds me of living in Nigeria, FGT. If the temp dipped below 30 deg the locals would appear in puffa jackets, babies wore snowsuits and woolly hats & gloves abounded. Us? Still red faced and sweating profusely! 
There’s seems to have been an awful lot of rain down your way, Jax. It seems to have been raining perpetually at my son who lives down your way.
GMbatty I hope you can sort out the things for your mum. Mine still has most of her faculties but she really isn’t making the best choices, I don’t think. But what can you do unless/until there’s a crisis?
NannyG we took the GC to a church coffee morning the other day. GS was in his element because he gets on so well with older folk, plus there was juice and cake! His nursery takes some of the children to a nearby care home once a week and he loves going there and talking to the old folk and getting spoilt by them!
Hope you get your results soon, UTBB.
Be gone that dratted Covid, Cornergran!
Your dh will be happy to be home, Yia. If there’s nothing more to be done medically, then he’s probably better off at home, his own bed, less risk of infections and best of all, you as company!
That was a lovely photo of Soop and Baggs! M I’m sorry the surgeon couldn’t help you, Soop, but I’m impressed at how you don’t let these things get you down. ❤️
Quite a few of the trees are turning colour here, Brook and today I saw the first of the fallen leaves scudding around on pavements.
Another couple of busy days for us. New glasses and a haircut for me, I’ve bought bulbs for the garden - if only they’d plant themselves! Dh had a phone call about his condition but we’re not any further forward. We were originally told a biopsy would happen within four weeks but we’re now on week five with no date in sight. 
I’m trying not to fret, luckily he isn’t the fretting kind.
We’ll be doing child care sometime this week, I’m waiting to be given my orders. I also need to see a physiotherapist as something has happened to my shoulder and it’s getting increasingly painful. That means endlessly redialling the surgery at 8am and eventually finding myself number 47 in the queue. 🙄
TOYA. Xxx
I don't normally post in either this thread or Mick's Good Morning thread but read them every day as part of my daily routine. I feel I am getting to know you all online, and look forward to reading all your news and updates.
Best wishes to those with struggles, both physical and emotional, you are in my thoughts.
Thank you nannytopsy and grandmabatty ❤️
They’ve all just left, we done the baking for the school bake sale tomorrow, banana bread and rocky road. They’re fundraising for the P7 residential trip next year so there’s lots of things going on. We’ve had teriyaki chicken and roasted veg for dinner, the DGC took one look and decided they’d rather have baked potato, beans and cheese 🤣
Congratulations to your next door neighbours grandmabatty so kind of you to buy them champagne 🥂 there’s nothing wrong with a lazy day , enjoy it as you do so much for others x
