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 🌹to soop and others struggling.

I probably won’t be online tomorrow as I have my Botox injection at the Lancashire Eye Centre. Sending you all best wishes xx

That’s wonderful news uttb. Congratulations to the family.

Get well wishes to Mr jax and other poorly folk.

A holiday day will come nannyt. In the meantime I understand how frustrating it is to have life on hold.

Mr C is struggling to move away from plantar fasciitis. He’s so frustrated as he’s doing the recommended exercises (much to my surprise). It’s so limiting.

Time I was asleep, or tried to be. With thoughts to all with personal mountains to climb

Night night everyone.

Congratulations to all the family Uttb what wonderful news
Hoping MrJ is much better soon Jax sounds like an awful virus

It’s back to school tomorrow for the DGC here, the eldest age 11 starts senior school and my DGD will be in P7. I think DGS will settle in fine, not so sure about DGD as she had quite a tough time at the end of the last school year 🥲 Will see over the next few days 🤞

A holiday sounds good nannytopsy, hope you can enjoy a relaxing break before the new hip arrives
Gorgeous Blossoming thanks for the picture
Thinking of the Soops and everyone in the quiet corner, take care all x

Heartwarming news, Utbb, congratulations to you & your family. x

Jaxjacky, I hope MrJ soon recovers.

My thoughts are with the soop's, & all the kitcheners. x

Jaxjacky Mon 18-Aug-25 21:34:23

How lovely utbb a new baby, congratulations to all.
Might as well Nannytopsy something to look forward to.
I don’t go Grannmarie MrJ feeling like he would pass out yesterday was perturbing, so I’m here, ‘reminding’ him to drink water (bet he wishes I had gone 😏).
I’m wondering how the soops are doing, which makes me think of the amazing socks Baggs showed on the feet thread, what stunning work by her.
My thoughts are as always with those struggling, particularly with their loved ones xx

How disappointing for you nannytopsy. I hope you can find an October holiday to make the waiting seem less onerous.

jaxjacky I hope that MrJ feels better soon, there are some nasty viruses about already!

I went into the nearest town today and bought the things I needed. I felt exhausted when I got home, not sure why really. I defrosted the freezer part of the fridge/freezer this afternoon. It really needed doing and I threw out a few unidentifiable items, plus some very out of date sausage rolls - they’d been in there for two years! Then I picked a load of cherry tomatoes, there are a lot so I’ll offer some to neighbours.
I need to collect some meds tomorrow, hope they’re ready!

Enjoy the rest of the evening Kitcheners. Night night.

Nannytopsy Mon 18-Aug-25 19:46:19

Poor MrJ - sounds like a nasty one.
Grannmarie that is far too young. Best wishes to you.
My “August or September “ hip replacement is now 6 to 7 months from now, so I am searching for October holidays. We have been on hold for months already.

Grannmarie Mon 18-Aug-25 19:39:09

I'm home now, relaxing in the garden, my TV 📺 quizzes are recording.

Many congratulations on the birth of your new great granddaughter, UsedToBeBlonde, what lovely, happy news. 💕🎈

Good luck with your quiz Jaxjacky, I'm glad MrJ has been seen promptly.

Beautiful bracelet, Blossoming, you are very creative!

Thank you all for your kind condolences, much appreciated.

TOYA

Jaxjacky Mon 18-Aug-25 19:06:53

Mr J has been seen, virus doing the rounds, paracetamol and fluids, no better in a week go back, when he takes his jumper off I’ll know he’s better!

kittylester Mon 18-Aug-25 18:19:21

What sad news for you all, grannmarie. Please accept my condolences.

Usedtobeblonde Mon 18-Aug-25 18:07:13

I have had a very busy weekend, I think I have overdone it, I am shattered today.
On a brighter note my GGD 2 was born at 4:41 this morning.
Good news for the family but such sad news for Grannmarie
What a terrible shock for his family.

Blossoming Mon 18-Aug-25 17:31:29

My condolences Granmarie, what a terrible shock.

MrB and I enjoyed our walk this morning and this afternoon I have made another bracelet with some lovely lapis lazuli beads I found in my stash.

Hoping all our poorly Kitcheners and families are having the best day they can TOYA ♥️

Grannmarie Mon 18-Aug-25 16:50:31

Thank you all, lovely ladies. Its such a heartbreak, so unexpected, our poor neice and her boys are still in shock.

On a happier note, the Wee Boy enjoyed his first day in Primary Two. I'm spending time with them in their garden, good for the .ood.
TOYA.
