Soop’s cosy kitchen for kindly and caring folk

Hi kitchen pals, it’s a sunny day up here in Inverness but with a cool breeze
I’m just in from having coffee with a pal and my Fitsteps dance class at the- I got through the class ok but feeling pretty tired now, I think the recent travelling and busy sightseeing is taking its toll. Luckily I’ve nothing else to do for the rest of the day so can take it easy and recover.
Hope the knitting is going well grannmarie I think it’s always so special to have something handmade for a new baby. When one of my DGSs was just born I knitted a small teddy bear, it was a long way off being perfect and it’s embroidered face was a quite a bit wonky but it’s still there in DD1s house and I see it each time I visit
Hoping things are improving a bit Uttb
Hope the car passed its Mot Jax and your shingles jab not too painful
Thinking especially of Soop, Blossoming and Fgt, apologies to those I’ve not mentioned by name, hope everyone is doing ok and take care all x

Good news sueD. Fingers crossed the improvement lasts a long while.
Thinking of the fgts and others in need of kind thoughts.
Night night everyone.

Glad to hear that Soop will soon be closer to home and her dear man, thank you for the update Baggs.

Great news, SueD!

Utbb, thinking of you. 💐

YiaYia, thank you, I'm fine, a bit achy but that's my default setting these days! Hoping and praying for good results for your DH, waiting is torture.

Ladyleftfieldlover, I'm sorry you're still in pain, I hope your injection helps very soon.

Welcome home brook!

Grandmabatty, I hope your feet feel better soon.

Cornergran, thinking of you and your DH. You've got a lot on your plate just now. Rest and recharge your batteries in the comfy quiet corner, say Hello 👋 to all our dear friends sheltering there.

FGT, kind regards to you and Himself.

My sisters and I enjoyed 'Knit and natter' at DSis2's this afternoon. We are knitting for the new baby and his proud big sister. I haven't knitted since before my shoulder/ arm problem at Easter, so I've chosen a simple, familiar pattern to start with.

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

Good news Suedonim

Thank you Baggs for the latest update on Soop
Uttb so sorry to hear about the difficulties you’re facing, I hope things improve a bit soon
Good news SueD so pleased for you both ❤️
Thinking of all in the quiet corner, take care all x

Brilliant news SueD

That is good news SueDonim
Good news has been sadly missing recently.
I hope the status quo is maintained.
I am in bed early, so tired and shattered from by my upset, however tomorrow is another day for all of us.
May it be a better one.l

I hope your quiet time helps settle you, Cornergran.
That’s just so miserable for you, UTBB. Sometimes I feel that I want to bang people’s heads together and say What on earth is the MATTER with you?? but we’re not allowed to do that kind of thing nowadays!

Marvellous news about Soop from Baggs. Thank you! I hope maybe Soop can get home once she’s been in Campbelltown for a while.

I’m sorry for missing out people, but I do think of you all.

My news today is good, in that we learnt that dh’s recent treatment seems to have halted his disease for the time being. It won’t last forever but we’ll take whatever is on offer right now. No more hospital appts until Dec/Jan. Hurrah!

Thank you for the update Baggs.

I just popped in to see if there was any news about soop so I’m delighted to read your update Baggs, thank you for letting us know.

Good evening Kitcheners. Baggs thank you for the update about Soop. I hope she is home to Campbelltown soon. UTBB* I'm sorry to hear about your stressful situation. I hope it can be resolved for you. You do so much for your family. Yiayia fingers crossed for a good result for your DH. Jaxjacky fingers crossed for your car passing it's mot.
Today I was at the chiropodist so my feet have been tender today. I've tidied up but that's all. Tonight will be quiet. Enjoy your evening Kitcheners

Thank you very much Baggs much better for the soops.
That’s just so unfair utbb you’re so kind and deserve a gentle, even road ahead, not these potholes appearing frequently x
Fingers crossed Yia I’m pleased you have your holiday to look forward to.
It finally stoped raining here a little while ago, hopefully we have two warmer sunny days ahead, washing will be done, at least two loads.
My car has been dropped for its MOT and a service, should get it tomorrow, hopefully before my shingles jab late afternoon.

utbb sad to read your post, take care 🌸

cornergran I’ll miss you, come back soon! I also have bright blue walking sticks, but rarely use them as I prefer my very robust rollator. I was talking to a disabled neighbour last week who said she’d be too embarrassed to use a rollator so doesn’t go out!
I hope your DH uses his stick anyway. I’m still struggling with my new iPad after six months.

utbb I’m sorry that life is proving problematic again for you, but hope the situation will improve soon,

baggs thank you for the update on soop and hope she’ll soon be in the local hospital and able to see her DH more often.
yiayia Fingers crossed for a good result from this latest round of blood tests etc.

Lots more rain today and the “lawn” is finally showing a few green shoots. I’ve moved the hose from the back of the garden and left it near the back of the house, just in case it’s needed again.

Have a peaceful evening everyone.

uttb you are such a warm hearted lady with open arms and an open house too for your family. You are, as my late darling mum used to say “their safety net”.

I’m sad for you to have this never ending estrangement anguish to bear. It must indeed pull you low. Warmest hugs from me. x

So sorry, Utbb, to hear your distress, upsets that you don't need or deserve. Thinking of you. x

There is much sadness in this friendly kitchen just now.
I'm sorry I don't mention names, I'm always afraid of missing someone out! x

Thank you Baggs, that's much better news for our dear soop & her family. To be much nearer home will be a comfort for them all.
Us lot in the kitchen have had them very much in our thoughts these past weeks.

Warmest wishes for the lovely soops & all her kitcheners.! x

Thank you for the update on soop Baggs.

UTBB I am so sorry for this upset in your life.You do so much for family and deserve some peace.My thoughts are with you💐

My life is being turned upside down by a partner of a close relative who is controlling and possessive so taking over their life which in turn upsets out lives and those very close to us.
It is an estrangement situation which countless threads on GN prove has no solution and no happy ending.
Someone is always going to be the loser whether they deserve it or not and the person responsible just gets away with it because no one will upset other people especially when young children are involved.
I do pray none of you encounter this in your lives.

Much better news of our dear Soop thanks Baggs.💐

Thinking of you UTBB. 🌻

Life is a it up and down here.DH was called in on Tuesday for more blood tests, still no news,I think it will be after the repeat liver scan on the 15th.So we plod on and look forward to our holiday in a few weeks.

Sorry you had a fall Grannmarie and hope your better now.I’m a bit paranoid about falling now,I don’t want to break anything so trying to be extra careful.🤣
Our youngest DGS started High school yesterday.He finds anything new very unsettling but, seems to be very happy so far.🤞

Thinking of you all.

Thank you for the update Baggs

Sending (((hugs))) and best wishes to our dear soop

Pleased to hear soop is moving closer to home. Thanks for the information Baggs.

So pleased to hear that dear soop may be moving nearer home.
Everything seemed to happen so quickly with her but that may just be me.
Well I’m sorry to say that once more the wheels have wobbled and are danger of falling off again in my life after a few months of hope.
Too painful to even think about.
I shall read and try to keep up and respond occasionally and as always I send my kindest thoughts to you all.

Again, thank you Baggs. Good news that Soop will at last be closer to home and her beloved husband.
Sending warmest wishes to the Soops and you too Baggs.

Hello, All! Warm greetings from soop and me with the added good news that after all her immense patience soop is to be moved to the tiny Campbelltown hospital which is much near home than Oban. Keep all fingers and toes crossed that nothing messes this plan up!
