Soops kitchen, a place of reflection, refuge and at times revelry.

FGT2 that is what the soops kitchen is for, for support and a friendly shoulder to cry on…

Morning everybody I didn’t want my sadness of last night spilling over into today’s kitchen. I’m feeling much better. And thank you for all your words of comfort and hugs. That made comforting reading - I feel less alone when I share in here when grief hits as last night, but don’t want to take advantage and spoil this lovely kitchen atmosphere.

Ah FGT ❤️

Fgt ❤️

Just sending you a big hug, FGT2. I wish I could do more. 💞💞

Sorry to offload it’s just hard sometimes and I wouldn’t share this with anyone tonight. It’s a nice feeling to know I can do so here - a safe space for grief.

Thank you to Soop. x

I’ve had a lovely afternoon. I’ve eaten and been watching some catch up tv. I went to the fridge and found some 70% dark chocolate from Aldi in the fridge door. It broke my heart s I remembered this was what Himself used to eat because it would melt if he took his time with it - he could swallow and enjoy it. Small things like this just undo me and I’ve cried a lot this evening. I suppose it’s a release of sorts.

He counselled that I’d be best to save my tears for when I’m home and on my own. My most darling man I miss you so much.

I’ve had Horlicks and feel totally drained alone this Saturday night.
Best I turn in I think.

Tomorrow is a whole new day.
Goodnight Kitcheners. My thoughts are with all who, like me feel this depth of longing and sorrow with no where to put it. x

jaxjacky i was putting plants in the front garden, and discovered that the ground was only slightly
damp for about two inches, and bone dry and compacted under that! I struggled to put the plants in and gave them gallons of water. The wind is very drying.

A nice afternoon for you fgt and for L’il miss too.

I’ll try watering the weeds with salt water grandmabatty it will be easier than spraying with weed killer.

You’ll need that wine after tomorrow gg

Enjoy the rest of the evening folks.

‘Evening All’

I just eaten a ready meal. Nice to have after a good couple of hours in the Trafford Centre with L’il Miss. I bought her a huge box of Lego and treated myself to a mid calf linen dress from Hobbs, cream with brown polka dots I love it for summer … if it comes!

8am Gg13! Goodness me.
We’ve had to water believe it or not, it’s windy again and it dries out the ground.
Good for drying washing though, two loads done, bed remade.
Then MrJ dug up some new potatoes to have for dinner tonight with quiche and salad.

I've ordered my wine GG.

I've ordered my wine GG.

Sounds good Grannygravy. I had the boys this afternoon. I filled the watering cans with salty water and they took great delight in watering the weeds in the drive. Then they wanted to do science experiments with water, salt and paint. Then I made salt dough and they made little people. After that, dgs2 fell asleep and dgs1 watched Blue Planet. A thoroughly educational afternoon! They are away now and I have put fish cake and chips in the oven for dinner. I might open a bottle of wine. I'd better make the bed first. Enjoy the rest of Saturday kitchen folk

The Imp has gone home, GD and little monster are in the pool, if I don’t get them out soon they will have shrunk.

BBQ all prepared to cook once they are showered and in their pj’s

Just had notification from Sainsbury’s that they have a 25% of wine promotion, best stock up with Whispering Angel and Chicken wine…

Glad to hear your lungs are okay neine tgat was my concern for you.

GG13 you deserve a 🥉 well done you! I bet you just love it all really and spoiling your grandchildren. A real pleasure isn’t it to see happy faces on children?

On that note I have decided I will take L’il Miss to The Trafford Centre this afternoon. Lush and Lego will feature. The bus itself takes only 5 minutes from here (3x sets of traffic lights!) but L’il Miss will enjoy a bus ride with grandma as obviously as a family they go everywhere by car!

Time for a coffee first.
I’m still in bed …. 😮

cornergran I do hope your car repairs are not eye watering £££

naughtyneine ouch that is going to hurt for a while 💊💊💊

I am in zombie mode.

Didn’t sleep that well, two GC dropped off here at 8am (DS4’s he is celebrating his 40th with friends, should be back here around 8ish tomorrow night) GD (9) is watching a film on her iPad. GS (6) is in the hot tub with most of the bath toys.

We have school fete, gymnastics training (I will take GD), BBQ later. The Imp and DD will be at the fete, so the boys will have fun.

I think my next GC feee day is Sunday 21st, but being Father’s Day, I suppose we will be seeing them all and doing something.

I think I need a lay down in a darkened room…

Corner hope repairs are not too costly you appear to have coped admirably .
Neine what a thing to happen hope you don't get too much pain.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.

That’s good news neine. Please, just be careful out there.

Good news neine worth getting checked, enjoy the rest of your stay.
