Soop's kitchen for caring and sharing...

Just popping in to say,hope no one suffered too badly in the storm.
It really was scary in our neck of the woods,we had a couple of leaks in the kitchen caused by the driving rain being blown under the flashing we think but drying out now

I had my first annual pacemaker check on Tuesday,it’s working ok and still has 12/12 years left. Afib is happening quite often but is asymptomatic so a bit of a worry but see the cardiologist next year so see what he says- onwards and upwards.
Wishing everyone a peaceful night and thoughts to all with cares and concerns.

That sounds generally satisfactory Thorntrees 👍
I’m glad your guests arrived safely corner I imagine the A34 closing caused a hiccup.
No luck on the meat draw for us, the big prize was won by a regular customer which was pleasing.
It’s raining and distinctly chilly out there, but the wind has abated, enjoy your evenings all.

Forgot to add these....

‘Evening All’.

L’il Miss was taken to see Father Christmas this morning at the local garden centre. Happy girl as the excitement ramps up!

Back home after Sunday dinner with my stepfather in my favourite pub. I chose a roast turkey dinner - the first of many this month I hope!

That was some 🎄 meat draw Jax sorry to hear you didn’t win it. Thorntrees try not to worry. Fabulous tree GG13! You’re ten weeks younger than me N.Neine have a great birthday tomorrow. 🍾🥂🍰

We're sitting with our DGDs, DD & her DH have gone out to a Carol Service at Kings College, & then for a meal in town.
We are home tomorrow, after a wet & windy weekend, fingers crossed that we haven't got problems after the storm.

(I had to smile at you imagining me at the gardens!), brook

I'm coming in here to my safe space as I don't know what else to do. I've woken up so sad and been crying all morning. I think I've known for a few days that today might be hard but I didn't think it would be quite so bad. I've kept myself busy at all times so I wouldn't have time to think but there's no escaping the fact that my daughters and Grandchildren are not here to celebrate with me as they were in the past. There is always that little part of me that thinks they would turn up and say' it's ok Mum...we made a mistake and we are happy for you'. Stupid isn't it? This is hurting. I'm hoping writing it down is going to ease it a bit. Bear with me.

Thinking of you, Neine, with warmest thoughts, love & the best of wishes on your Birthday. x

Happy Birthday to our NaughtyNeine. Seventy is a good age to celebrate. I hope that this decade will be kind to you. Sending love and a gentle hug.

The sea is calm. The sky is blue. The air is crisp. The view of the islands of the Inner Hebrides is stunning.

I shall now ride my bike to no place. I need to keep my 83 year old legs moving. Lower back aches. The weight of the parastomal hernia continues to drag...

Take care, lovely Kitcheners. I shall return tomorrow.

A big birthday hug for NaughtyNeine .

neine hugs and

Happy birthday Neine.

They're missing out even more than you... One day, perhaps, they'll regret it.

Soop when I ride my bike to no place I close my eyes and imagine that I'm following a favourite route - often one in Orkney.

Happy birthday Naughtyneine you youngster. 🎂

Sorry I have just read your post properly. I’m so sorry you’re sad. I hope someday the situation will be resolved. Hugs.

Happy birthday Naughtyneine

So sorry you are feeling sad and I understand why but try not to let them spoil your special day. Sending hugs.

I’m leaving a cake for you to share with us all on here and best of all it’s calorie free 😀

Happy birthday Neine!
You can’t have too many cakes!🎂🍰🧁🥮
