In *soop’s absence I’ve opened the door, fluffed the cushions and replenished the buffer.
Blossoming you have more patience than me with that bracelet, how delicate.
Tough times SueD I hope today went well for Thursday.
Yesterday’s quiz was a record 54 in attendance, not bad for a village on a Monday, we caught up with quiz mates, but failed to get in the top three. Before that I went to see a physiotherapist and came away with a bunch of knee exercises, I’ve crepitus apparently!
Today was washing, managed to whip it in before some rain unexpectedly came down.
With đŸŒčto soop and others struggling.

What a kind man Blossoming that looks delightful.
Thanks all, a new day.
Stretch class was stretching, put through our paces after an easy week last time when it was so hot.
A little gardening, it’s so, so dry, Tesco delivered, we won’t starve!
Pub earlier and it was great to have MrJ on top form, welcomed back like the prodigal son, it was busy on a sunny evening.
I do hope soop is pain free and has her loved ones close.
Thoughts and my xx to others also fighting big battles.

Good evening dear Kitcheners. I have had a few ‘down’ days recently so MrB decided I needed a break and took me to Lytham. It was as usual very bracing, with a stiff breeze, and helped to blow away the cobwebs. My eyes are settling down and I am feeling much better.

Love and best wishes, and a big hug to anyone in need of one. ♄♄

Thank you Baggs 💐

What a shock to learn of all the sadness in our Kitchen at the moment. I can only add my hopes and wishes for Soop, FGT, Jax (and those I’ve missed out) to find some peace and calm amidst the storm. Xxx

Good morning all.
I am saddened by all the happenings in our lovely kitchen.
I hope things improve in whichever way they can for everyone.
I think it is an old song which contain the words “ into each life some rain must fall”
It seems very true at times.
Overcast and chilly here but a very warm day forecast for Bank Holiday Monday, I had to be reminded last night that it is a BH, when old and retired it just gets to be another day.

Thinking of dear Soop and MrSoop , also the Fgts and all those having a difficult time. A hug for you all.

Charleygirl5 Thu 21-Aug-25 22:43:24

Baggs once more, thank you so much. It is not easy for you, and soop is being so brave about the latest buggeration. The sooner she is home with McSporran, the better.

gillgran Thu 21-Aug-25 22:40:11

You’ve a lot to absorb jax, take it gently, what a good thing mr j is on firmer ground.

Thank you baggs, appreciate the time you take to convey news so thoughtfully.

Love to soop and mr soop, fgt and himself along with everyone facing struggles.

The kitchen is a sad place as you said, Redcar.

Thank you as always, baggs. I imagine this is a hard road for you to travel. Please give soop andmcsporran my best wishes and love.

jax, it sometimes gets a bit overwhelming, doesn't it. Gentle hugs for you too.

Redcar Thu 21-Aug-25 21:18:29

Thank you for the update baggs. I hope soop isn’t in any pain and that the proposed radiotherapy stops the further growth of the tumour near her spinal cord.

Such sadness in the kitchen today, sending hugs to all who need one.

Doodle Thu 21-Aug-25 21:17:32

Baggs a hard message for you to convey. Thoughts and prayers for the Soops and FGTs
Jax so sorry for all the sad and worrying news you are coping with.

Jaxjacky Thu 21-Aug-25 21:11:32

Thank you again Baggs .

Blossoming Thu 21-Aug-25 21:07:41

So sorry you’ve had a rotten day Jax but I’m glad to hear MrJ is back to normal.

Thank you for the update Bagga, I hope Soop is out of pain and will be able to see her loved ones.

luluaugust Thu 21-Aug-25 21:00:50

Jaxjacky sorry you have had a very difficult day, no words are adequate about your friend’s DS.
Thinking of all Ealing with illness and other problems

Baggs Thu 21-Aug-25 20:59:54

soop has asked me to tell you the result of her latest appointment.

The cancer specialist who saw her today has ruled out chemotherapy as her bone cancer is far advanced and widespread. A three day course of radiotherapy is arranged for six weeks from now and is to target a tumour growing close to soop's spinal chord. Palliative care is top priority.

In her own words: "I intend making the remaining time a positive experience. Thankful for MrSoop's invaluable support and the kindness of family and good friends."
