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.

Unfortunately I can’t walk my DD’s dog grannmarie, she’s still very boisterous and would pull me over. I wish I could take her for a walk, the exercise would do me good! DD2 will take her out in the morning as the dog walkers don’t do weekends! Enjoy your walks with Grandpup!

Back from our local Italian restaurant, tasty food.

Wore a pair of shoes which I wore on Tuesday, and several times on holiday, tonight they gave me a blister.

Thinking if dear soop

I have had a bit of time out and just returned to read the very sad news about Soop.
Just wanted to send my very best wishes to a very special lady x

Hello kitchen people.

My granddaughter is here and it is lovely to have her staying. Her parents are on their way to Scotland for a few days.

I hope Soop is comfortable and that her OH is able to visit. I’m thinking of the FGT2S too:

Just popping in to see if there are updates from Fgt2 or about the soops. I hope they all know we are thinking about them.

Sending best wishes to everyone - either in the kitchen or lurking in the quiet corner.

Dear Baggs if you are in touch with the soops please send our (collective) love to them today.
I hope they feel supported and cared-for at the moment - one of their most difficult times. 🫶

Sending happy weekend vibes to all
kitchen-ers .

Baggs Sat 02-Aug-25 12:20:25

Dear Baggs if you are in touch with the soops please send our (collective) love to them today.

This is being done but I haven't heard anything more yet. I expect soop's immediate family will be the main focus of communications at the moment. I will send updates as soon as I can.

TillyTrotter Sat 02-Aug-25 12:24:13

Thank you so much - that is understandable .

GrannyGravy13 Sat 02-Aug-25 12:24:21

Thank you Baggs it must be so difficult and sad for you to be the kitchens link with our dear soop

Baggs Sat 02-Aug-25 12:43:18

I spoke too soon. soop is having bloods and scans taken. Calcium level in blood must be reduced. The infusions make her feel her bladder is permanently full, she says.

She does not know how long it will be before she is "handed over' to the cancer team but with her usual positivity she says: "I am not going to get better but I'll endeavour to enjoy the time I am gifted." MrS will visit later today.

Soop sends you all love and good wishes.

Thanks Baggs, this must be so difficult for you.
flowers to Soop and yourself.

Thank you Baggs

Grannmarie Sat 02-Aug-25 13:22:21

Thank you, Baggs, Soop's update is much appreciated. She's a very strong lady, so positive about her situation. Hope MrSoop has a reassuring visit this afternoon. Thinking of you all, 💕🙏

UsedToBeBlonde, 💐.

I've been out for a wee walk with Grandpup, chatted to a neighbour cutting his grass. Dog walking is such a sociable activity!

DS3 and lovely girlfriend met us on the edge of the woods, they'd arrived to find my house like the Marie Celeste, soup simmering on the hob and no sign of Gran or pup! They knew I wouldn't be far, good to see them.

Wishing everyone the best possible weekend, thinking of all with worries, illness or sorrow. Sending love and prayers for all who need/ wish them.

Just to say that 67 years ago I was getting ready for my wedding.
It is a day of remembering for me.
We had 60 years of marriage, we were very blessed.

FriedGreenTomatoes2 Sat 02-Aug-25 14:01:49

My thoughts are with you today uttb. You’ll be thinking about your wedding day, all those memories and ‘what I was doing at this exact time 60 years ago’ etc. Yes you were blessed indeed. I’m glad your granddaughter and her boyfriend are raising a glass with you later. That will mean a lot to you I’m sure. 💐

And soop
As ever, pragmatic yet positive in her outlook. Get ‘more well’ soon dear lady. x
