Thank you as always to our treasured benefactor soop.
Hot chocolate and warm muffins await, cushions plumped and fire stoked.

Thank you Grannmarie. I’m keeping busy as it’s a good distraction and getting by. Hope you are keeping well

Thinking of FGT too. 💕

I’m very sorry to hear the news about our lovely Soop. Sending her healing love. I’m sorry this is so hard for you, too, Baggs. Xxx

There seem to rather a lot of woes in the Kitchen right now so I’ll send love to everyone and hope things are better tomorrow. Xxx

Thank you Baggs for the Soops update. 🌹

I’m thinking of those in the Quiet Corner, especially FGT2, who I don’t think we’ve heard from in a while.

Sleep 💤 tight all of you.

Good evening, lovely Kitchen people.🥰
I'm popping in to send love and prayers ♥️🙏 to Soop, FGTs and all who need/wish them. Hugs for Baggs, I feel your fear, you are a true friend to the Soops.

Hello 👋 Doodle, good to see you, I hope you are OK. Hope GrandmaC47 is OK too.

Beautiful photos, thank you, Blossoming. What a scenic area for your walks.

So glad you got down to Cambridge brook, enjoy your family time.

Hope you managed a wee rest today Grandmabatty, you've been busy.

Jaxjacky, you are sounding good, hope your healing is going well. I have a haggis pizza in the freezer! I tried one last year and was pleasantly surprised.

Glad to hear that you have a date, Nannytopsy, it won't be long now. 🤞

I had a good afternoon with the Wee Boy, playtime and pizzas before he went off to football training. He was wearing his local football strip over his joggers and hoody because it is very cold again, I passed the gritters on the motorway on my drive home.

I made it to two classes yesterday morning, Aquafit then Strength and Balance, was exhausted for the rest of the day!!

Wishing everyone a peaceful Friday evening, hope you are all safe and warm. Usedtobeblonde, you're in the best place!
TOYA, NNGB.

Oh Baggs. 💐

Blossoming Fri 16-Jan-26 18:44:44

Baggs!

Blossoming Fri 16-Jan-26 18:44:15

Thank you Bagga x

Baggs Fri 16-Jan-26 18:39:58

I'm not sure soop even got out of bed yesterday she was feeling so ill. I didn't post an update till now because, if you will forgive the brutal truth, I was remembering when DD1 could no longer get out of bed and, as you can imagine, was fearing the worst with regard to soop. A little while ago I received a text from her and she says she is still "well under par". I know that she thinks of you all very affectionately so I'm passing that on.

Blossoming Fri 16-Jan-26 15:16:36

It’s a lovely sunny day here, cold too. I’m feeling good so we have just returned from a walk around the main dock. We also had a walk around the park earlier. Some days I can’t do very much at all so I’m making the most of it while I can. Getting tired now so am going to listen to my book. Mushroom soup for tea later, though not for MrB as he hates mushrooms, silly man grin. He is baking some rolls, he’s a good bread maker. I’m sorry to hear you’re having a lousy time Baggs and to hear that Soop is unwell. I often wonder how the FGT2s are getting on, I’m so behind with everything. My concentration is shocking nowadays.
Here are a couple of pics from today, TOYA xx

brook2704 Fri 16-Jan-26 12:54:03

Thank you all
I’m just back from the local garden centre, Scottsdales if you know it gillgran? It’s a beautiful day with clear blue sky but a bit chilly. Waved DGSs off to school this morning, DD and Sil are both working from home today so I’m keeping as quiet as possible and out of the way
I’m on school pick up duty later
As long as you’re happy pottering at home uttb that’s all that matters - stay in as long as you like, cosy and warm
Hope Soop is doing ok today and the fgts too
Love to all
