Welcome to the *Gransnet Café. This is a non-judgemental space for you to pop in for a cuppa with some virtual friends, seek out advice for a particular problem, or share an update on your life - important or trivial. Feel free to have your say and chat about your day, but please leave any arguments at the door. If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.
Goodness, wot, I'm so pleased you have that solicitor appointment. I hope he/she will have copies of everything and will help you move on and fast. Virtual hugs for you. Chin up, you will prevail and if he's difficult just send in the grans.
I'm sure ruby was delighted to see you ann, but what a journey. Think you deserve something stronger than a cuppa
Those Alexa things seems scary, galen, hope you are firmly in charge. I'm sure I would never be able to get her to work, I have seen a demonstration which deterred me and confirmed my general level of dinosaur.
Oscar looks like a new dog, oldgoat, he does look adorable and always awakes serious dog envy here.
Hope your throat responds to the meds soop, it must be very uncomfortable indeed.
Unlike liaise (good to see you) and grannylyn (who ate all the brownies?), I don't have cake but I've brought a couple of bottles of 
, one red and one nicely chilled white, for late visitors which will keep beautifully for tomorrow - if there's anything left. 
.
ann how nice of you to go and visit Rubylady. I am sure your visit cheered her up. Hope she is ok.
wot so sorry you are in this situation. Sounds as though you'll be better off getting rid of him asap.
oldgoat please could you let me know where Oscar had his trim? He looks so smart I thought I could have the same haircut myself 
soop thank you for the welcome to yet another kitchen! Still a lovely warm and friendly place to be. kitty you've had long enough by the boiler, your cheeks are quite red (or is that the 
) Move over now it's my turn to get warm
Just popping into the new kitchen to show off Oscar's new hairdo. GS didn't recognise him when he came home from school this afternoon. We got a telling off from the groomer for not using the grooming brush properly, but poodle cross-breeds have got very challenging hair and we have been trying our best to control it.
Bossy woman! These are the before and after pictures, both taken today. He does look like a different dog.
Hope you will soon be feeling better soop
and love to all the other Grans whose lives are difficult at the moment.
Okay. It is the time of day when I log off. Away to read the newspaper and attempt the quick crossword. I haven't the energy to ride the exercise bike.
Take very good care of yourselves. Thank you for making the kitchen a welcoming place. 
Galen glad that you are in fine fettle.
Greyduster Our kitchen has virtually all mod cons and never ever needs cleaning. That's what makes it special. Feet up. I've a wee stool ready and waiting.
callg I'm partial to a Magnum dark choc ice. It's good of you to treat us lot.
grannylyn65 Rory welcomes the new-comer pussy cats. What are their names? They look well-pampered...Aww, sorry to hear about the budgie. Have just read that they are named Stan and Salen. I like the name, Stan. My son had a cat named Geoffrey.
kitty dear...witter away. The rest of us do. No harm in letting off steam.
granniequeenie Lovely photos. We also had a woodpecker call to feast on peanuts. Our Rory goes nowhere near the garden birds. They peck away without fear of interference.
wot Quite right. Although I think of him as being a rat. Toads are really rather nice. Ask our bags.
Liaise You and your cake are welcome with open arms. The more the merrier.
They are named ( not by me ! ) Stan and Salen; Stan has green eyes and Salens are golden. They are brothers
I've had too much enough cake already today so I'd best not have any more...but on the other hand, surely it must be alcohol o'clock soon?
I'm sure I'm behind the times with news from the last kitchen so get well wishes to any poorly people, stamina to those moving house and courage to all facing trying times.
It's been a good day for me, with some enjoyable walking and a visit to a favourite cafe - hence the cake!
Here's a couple of photos from today I hope the various kitchen cats and dogs won't chase the birds or worry the sheep!
In disgrace as pranced in with a dying budgie yesterday!!!
wot, I've just broken into the old kitchen to see how things are with you. I am bl**dy fuming on your behalf! Please, Please a solicitor and pronto. Search the a******e's room wearing rubber gloves for a hygiene, not fingerprint, point of view. How did you discover that he planned this before Christmas? Don't tell unless you want to but please feel free to offload if it helps.
I bet I know more rude colourful words than MacS, soop. I've had the Idiot for a son in law. He is living up to his name again but can't hurt DD any more. Hopefully, wot, you will get to that stage before too long.
Now, I don't know whose cats you think that is a photo of Grannylyn but one looks suspiciously like Rory and the other like my cat Kiwi!! I'll just sample your lovely looking brownies while you think.
Charley, when I am stressed I sleep like a baby - I think it's in the hope that all will be well when I wake up! It rarely works but I keep trying it.
GD, if the weather everywhere else is similar to here there will be a fight to get near the boiler. You, obviously, soop and anyone else feeling under the weather for whatever reason, should get first dibs but then bagsy me.
Galen, does Alexa put the rubbish out and do other essential tasks or just feed you useless information?
I'm off to witter about yet another scrape my BiL has got into. 
Here are some white choc and raspberry brownies
and cats!
We are open for 
[café] and 
(providing the bakers among us lot have been busy on our behalf.
Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good pals and
Jolly good company...
