Soop’s cosy kitchen for kindly and caring folk

Hello Kitcheners I’m happier this Saturday than last when Himself was in isolation at the hospital with sepsis. What a difference a week can make eh? He’s watching the F1 qualifiers on his iPad and hoping to be picked up tomorrow by Teacher Mummy daughter to go over and see our Boy Wonder (now 13) and L’il Miss (not far off 9) he’s so looking forward to some hugs. He’s not seen them ‘in person’ apart from FaceTime for four months. He’s been so very poorly. It’s sad to think - a faulty oesophageal stent for 7 weeks that became corroded and had to be removed & replaced - necessitating 2 weeks in hospital and blood transfusions. Then a scan which devastatingly revealed tumour growth as the chemo clinical trial didn’t work. Then the sepsis.

But today he’s on the up. My wonderful strong man. He’s so positive mentally. And when he’s up, so am I.

Best wishes & hugs to all of you this weekend.

The sun is shining here in south Manchester and my heart today is lighter. You’ve all been so lovely I thought I’d share an update. x

(((Hugs))) FGT2 😘🌸🌸🌸🌸

Bought the sun to us too FGT xx

FGT he will have a lovely time tomorrow, hugging and playing with his grandchildren.

He is welcome to watch F1 I loathe it. It must be lovely sleeping in his own bed again.

I hope soop is going home soon also.

Fgt 🤗

Not much time here to post but I must reply to FGT. I hope your dear man has a lovely day with family. The endomorphs or whatever it is we get from doing nice things will do him a power of good. ❤️

We are on a break in a lovely country hotel in the Yorkshire countryside, the sun is shining and our youngest dd is on her way to spend the day with us. What more can we ask for?

Lovely to read your post, FGT, x

((Hugs)) all around this friendly kitchen.

All the best to you and your dear man FGT

Enjoy the rest of the day everyone.

Such lovely news FGT. Have a brilliant weekend.

So pleased to hear your news FGT,enjoy every minute of your lovely family tomorrow.x

Grandmadinosaur my stepfather is doing well. Sad at our family situation but coping. No more Sunday dinners as this awfulness has impacted upon us all one way or another. But he’s well. We speak on the phone every day (I like to check he hasn’t had a fall). I went to see him on the bus on Friday and took him a bag of shopping. Two lovely neighbours across the road from him get M&S groceries for him each week which he very much appreciates.

He will be 93 in a month’s time and his brother will be 100. Note to self - I must buy birthday cards.

fgt good to hear that your stepfather and his brother are also doing well. How kind of his neighbours to get the M&S goodies for him!

Thank you for letting us know how your stepfather is doing fgt he sounds a lovely man obviously surrounded by kind neighbours and yourselves of course.

Such lovely news fgt so pleased for you both and good to hear that your stepfather is doing well too x

A super day ahead tomorrow fgt. So pleased for you both.

Wind and rain here on and off . Pouring at the moment.

A couple of things not quite right on the new iPad but it’s working which has amazed and relieved me. Thanks to the kind folk who gave me confidence.

Wishing you all a restful sleep later.

So good to read your news FGT2. I hope that himself gets those hugs 🤗
It put a smile on my face at the end of a long, hard and tedious day.
Tomorrow is a brand new day, eh?

I’m so pleased you’re having a break SueD, sounds great.
A very wet afternoon here, dismal, can’t moan I was wanting it for so long, the garden is looking a lot better, very autumnal.
Enjoy your evening all.

Lovely news. FGT2 , wishing you and your family all the best.
