Soop's kitchen for friendly folk and precious pets...

Pleased to hear better news of Paw, even if only slightly better, any improvement is worth hearing about. I`m sorry to come late to your birthday wishes Ann, but am glad you`ve had such a great day.
Gaga, so sorry about your sister`s poor husband. Life can be very cruel.

Hope so for you both maw, hang on to hope x

Should we be referring to Annsixty-one from now on?
Belated birthday wishes and my hopes that your day was a happy one

No real change with Paw but he is feeling just a wee bit more as if he might actually make i through this! Still a very pawly person, but maybe a corner has been turned.

Many Happy Returns Ann. I'm glad you've had a lovely day and it's great that your extended family will keep it going for you.

MawB I've been holding you in my thoughts the last couple of days. I'm pleased that there is a slight improvement in Paw's health.

I agree, what a lovely treat- you need to get out of the house and that will be perfect.

Oh Ann , so glad you have had a lovely Birthday and a nice treat to look forward to xxx

I just want to say thank you all for your good wishes
I really have had a nice day
My s cooked fillet steak and sauce au poive for 6 of us with cheesecake to follow with very good wine for those of us old enough to drink.
I hope to enjoy the next few days with the rest of my family , complicated but we do our best.
My dearest GD surprised me by telling me we are going to London, just the two of us for a night in a hotel with a meal and breakfast and train travel. How great is that?

Sorry my post made no sense, I was on the wrong page

Putting a dent in it I should think hipsy. Hopefully now sorted by Tizliz's DH

Maw glad to hear some slightly better news. Fingers crossed for even more improvement in paw. What has happened about hattie by the way?

Tegan I also wanted Gilles Muller to win today- I was delighted when he knocked out Rafa as for some reason I do not like that man.

I hope to be able to watch Jo tomorrow. It will be a hard match against Venus.

Tara is in bed, I may join her after having had a shower.

I used to shoot a bit myself but was never as good as that!

greyduster I did put 5 of 6 bullets in the same hole at 25 yards - but off a rest not free standing.

By the way I did not shoot the deer that is in my freezer, I am told I am a hypocrite.

I really wanted Muller to win today; it was sad to see him go out so tamely at the end. I've enjoyed watching him play [even though he did beat Nadal].

Large Pimms coming right up soop - cheers! At least Roger is still in it - my dreamboat!

Happy birthday ann, glad the family are spoiling you.
maw fingers crossed for further improvement in paw's improvement.
soop a large pimms is winging its way to you now.

Despite Purdeys ears being trimmed last week, she collected a huge amount of little green seeds in them this afternoon, necessitating a long grooming session for her and Travis when we got back.

Am sad at present for myself but more so for DH, as we went to visit his sister at the care home this morning, and her family feel it is only a matter of time. She is such a lovely lady.

Only shoot targets, nothing live. Nevertheless we will all be VERY NICE to you from now in, Tizliz!

Thank you, tizliz for explaining. For a moment I thought that you were referring to a car.

Some small minded people (on FB) have been making cruel comments regarding Andy's loss. He played to win. He gave of his best. There is surely no need to make fun of him. There are certain players that I'm not turned on by. Others I look forward to watching. I can see no reason to be disrespectful. Sigh! and I'm feeling a bit flat now that A's out of the tournament.

I could murder a large Pimms. Don't have the ingredients. End of.

Enjoy your evening, ann and I hope that Maw has better news when next she checks on Paw

Happy Birthday Ann, hope you're having a lovely day.

Hopefully this is a picture of my new rifle

Hipsky I banged my target rifle on the rest. I was using a rest as the stock is too long for me so can't put it to my shoulder. OH is going to shorten it but I couldn't wait to try it. Only shoot targets, nothing live.

ann lovely to hear that the family will be visiting and cooking for you. No doubt H will be wondering what the fuss is all about. Nice that you could get to a friend's place this morning for a cuppa and a break. Happy birthday- your 30th I am assuming?

Happy birthday ann , your family are certainly making sure you enjoy it! ????

Maw good news

Many Happy returns ann , nothing less than you deserve . I am so glad your day has been a happy one xx

ann I had to leave the game. Couldn't bear to see Andy all out for the count. Come on Jo!

Same message as Hipsy's to tizliz

I hope the Fire Brigade are on standby if they are lit?
