Happy Birthday to your grandson Yia 🎂🥳🥸 aren’t youngsters hardy, going camping is a distant memory for me!
An average day on the phones, it’s been sun or a deluge off and on all day, blinds open, blinds closed.
Imogen loved the cake we had made for her with her cat Oslo acknowledged.
I’ll catch up later after quiz.

Lots of colds around.My DGS3 has just got over a cold and ear infection but fortunately they bounce back quickly, not like us old souls!
Hope you have your family day soon FGT and in the meantime enjoy the simple things in life.❤️

Our eldest DGS is 19 today can’t quite believe it.Same date as your GD JaxWe saw him yesterday as today he’s going camping with his friends,making the most of his time before uni.
DH is trying to keep busy doing a bit of painting,he gets tired but as long as he’s careful it’s good for him.

Lots of love to Soop hope she’s comfortable and enjoys seeing her son.🌻
Kind thoughts and hugs to all.

Colds are miserable, Redcar, you’re entitled to some sympathy.

I’m sorry your family get together didn’t happen, FGT. I hope Li’l Miss recovers quickly and you can make a new date. Xx

Sending thoughts to Blossoming for her decision-making and love to the Soops for their situation.

I’m sorry your ds has raised such difficulties, UTBB. Perhaps simply acknowledging that you hear what he is saying might help? Don’t try and defend yourself, even if you feel it’s unfair. You could always say that you did your best with the knowledge/wisdom/tools you had at that time. A friend has been through a similar situation with her ds and now their relationship is very slowing defrosting.

Thank you to all who’ve thought of me, you are such kind people. In turn I am TOYA. Xxx

Reading about the buggerations that so many of us have to suffer, I feel quite ashamed to be feeling sorry for myself with just a cold. Apologies everyone!!

How disappointing that your day out had to be cancelled fgt but better safe than sorry!
I hope that soop is back in Oban and that her family have been able to visit her.
Feeling sorry for myself as I also have a cold and cough, don’t know where it came from as I haven’t seen the granddaughters this week! No doubt that once they’re back at school this week they’ll all be streaming!

* grannmarie* I hope you’ve recovered from your fall/trip.
Night night everyone, I’m having an early night as I’ve been coughing all day.

Fgt , hope it’s not too long till you get your cuddles.
Thinking of Blossoming, hope you come back soon, and that Soop is comfortable..
Dh and I had a lovely Sunday lunch in our favourite pub/restaurant with his brother and wife. It was her birthday on Friday , so a little celebration was had.

A difficult day here for me, I am querying my S’s attitude towards me.
He lives here with his S and his other S has been here for seven weeks but has gone to his older brother tonight.
I don’t want to say much it is so personal but at 55 he seems to hold me responsible for all that has gone wrong in his life and that frankly is a lot.
I don’t know how to deal with it or come to terms with it.
Sorry to sound off on here but I don’t want to tell close family.
They will judge one of us!!
Have a good night if you can everyone.

I too am sorry that FGT’s family day didn’t happen but a sensible decision. We are just back from a short city break to The Hague. Was relatively quiet but very easy to walk around as it is flat! Lovely to see the painting “Girl with the pearl earring “ but don’t know if it was worth the €20 each for entry to the museum. Schiphol airport was the usual nightmare getting through security and passport control so slow! Very grateful to still be able to do these trips. Very autumnal here in Central Scotland today feel as if summer has gone. Best wishes to Soop.

As our dear soop would say FGT a buggeration indeed, but other precious moments.
We’ve had very good friends here to lunch, watched The Thursday Murder Club film eating our pud, both of which were most enjoyable, as was the company.
Then to the pub for meat draw, nil points, very busy so I’m not surprised.
I too am thinking of Blossoming and her husband at a difficult time, fingers crossed soop is back nearer home in Oban with her love.

Fgt sorry your day with grandchildren didn't happen but it was for the best ,your Oh sounds content to be home hopefully he will be able to see gc.
Blossoming you will be welcomed back when ready
Granmarie hope you arn t too shook up by your fall/trip.
Best wishes to all.

Indeed Grannmarie
We call children ‘cute carriers’.

I also meant to say I’m thinking of Blossoming and her husband taking time out to make an important decision. I hope whatever you decide brings peace of mind dear lady.

And soop I hope the love from your darling husband, family and close friends will help to comfort and reassure you in the coming months. You are going through a tough time dear lady.

FGT you’re doing the right thing. Treasure every moment.
Glad your man is home and enjoying simple pleasures.

A sensible approach, FGT, children can be very generous with their germs! You'll see the wee family soon . Glad you're both content to appreciate life's small pleasures, I'm sure Himself is quite happy with your company and home comforts.💕

Hoping everyone is having the best weekend possible. DS1 popped down yesterday, it was good to see him, but still strange to see DH's car parked at the gate again. I'm glad he's enjoying driving it.

It's been very windy here today, what we call," Good drying "! I've read/dozed most of the afternoon. A day of rest right enough!

Thinking of the Soops, hope they're enjoying time with Soop's son. Hope Blossoming is doing OK, thoughts to all with illness, worries or sorrow.

Hope the brooks are enjoying Copenhagen, and Grandmabatty's wee boys sleep well tonight!😴😴

Oh so sorry to hear that fgt but I bet you are enjoying 'normality'.

That’s a real shame, but wise. Glad that little things are working for himself! X

Fgt. What a shame but it sounds like you both had a lovely day

Ach. It didn’t happen. L’il Miss full of a cold so her mum (sensibly) said best leave it a few days. “I’m so sorry mum”. It can’t be helped. The best laid plans and all that.

FaceTime instead again just now.

Himself is watching a very noisy film. I’m just delighted he has (a) the interest and (b) is sat on the sofa and not on the bed.

Small pleasures I treasure all of them these days. We rush about sometimes in life, busy, taking happy moments for granted. I don’t anymore that’s for sure. x

Pork is roasting in the oven, veggies all prepped, table laid.

I am enjoying a nice chilled white wine.

Hope that himself has had a good day with his family and of course FGT2 😘🌸

Thinking of our dear soop I hope she is comfortable and that her son is with her 🌸

Just popping in to say that I hope the fgts gave had a lovely day and made lots of memories.

And that soop's son has arrived safe and well.

What a precious day for you today FGT I hope it fills all your hearts with joy and strength .

FGT hope you all have a lovely day

That’s wonderful news FGT. Just getting in before midnight to say that’s the best news all day xx

Good evening , just in bed , very late for me, I have usually been asleep and awake again but things are different tonight,
I cooked myself a lovely meal and then watched The Thursday Murder Club which I enjoyed.
My GD was out at a friend’s birthday but her BF came in before her and we sat chatting.
He is such a nice chap, I feel so happy for her to have met him.
I am so happy for FGT that she had her H back at home with her.
She can now look after him as she wishes.
A happy weekend ahead for them.
I am happily tired and hope I get more than my usual few hours.
My most sincere thoughts are with our dear kitcheners who are unwell or caring and indeed anyone who needs support.
Good night to you all.

A very late Good Evening, lovely Kitchen people!

What a joy to hear FGTs happy news, a visit to the grandchildren will do you both a power of good.

SueD, enjoy your break and your catch up with your DD.

brook, hope you and your DH have a wonderful, 🎶 wonderful 🎵 time in Copenhagen!

Grandmabatty, I hope your weekend is going well and you're getting things back to their rightful places.

I'm hoping and praying that all went well for Soop at the Beatson and she is now tucked up, comfy and cosy, in Oban. 🙏💕

I enjoyed my school pick up and pizza night with the Wee Boy yesterday, he came home on his scooter with the light up wheels. I miss the days when he came home on his Papa's mobility scooter...

I had a fall yesterday.. or do I just say, I fell ? Apparently the meanings are worlds apart. Anyway, I tripped and fell up my back door steps, skint my knees and shin and bruised my foot and my thumb. I lay there for a moment in an unladylike heap, hoping that none of the neighbours had noticed, until I gathered myself and staggered into the kitchen feeling sorry for myself. I think I'll have to see about getting a handrail for those steps...oh dear, I'm on the slippery slope.😢 I felt a bit better after a cup of tea and some paracetamol.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Saturday evening and a good night's sleep. TOYA, NNGB.

Lovely to read your update FGT enjoy tomorrow- there could be happy tears of relief along with laughter and cuddles. xx
