Soops kitchen extension 2

The sea is a beautiful shade of teal green. It's blustery but not blowing a gale. We lost power for about two hours yesterday afternoon. Ironing needs attending to. Best do it while I can. A little late morning therapy.

Sorry you lost power soop but thank you so much for that verbal painting of the sea, it has brought into my day.

Hello all, it seems ages since I was in the kitchen [of course that's a lie as the reason I haven't been in this kitchen is because I've spent too much time in my own kitchen!]

Anyway, I'd like a piece of that lovely looking black bun and nice cup of tea. Would anyone else like one?

I've come in because DH's phone has been ringing like nobody's business this morning and I thought I was coping until I asked a little old lady whether she had any medical conditions we should know about and she said, 'Well, I am a christian.'

Can I just go in a dark corner and relax, please?

kitty That little old lady has made me chuckle. Very funny. So, you like black bun. I must try to buy some when we visit Oban tomorrow.

LizG Have finished the ironing and polished the furniture. Washed my hair. Trimmed my finger/toe nails. Helped MacSporran to complete the weekend crossword and am about to prepare the supper dishes for Rory and his family [who may, or may not put in an appearance].

Take care of each other. I cannot join you tomorrow but I shall do so on Wednesday.

Good morning to you all. It's sunny and chilly in bonnie Kintyre. I hope that you have all managed to stay safe and cosy.

MacSporran had to undergo a hospital procedure yesterday...so we set off early for Oban. I'm happy to tell you that the result of said procedure was not as we feared. In fact, he has a condition that can be regulated by a change of diet. Mind you, his diet is, on the whole, quite satisfactory, although, unlike me, he won't eat wholegrain bread. By the time we got home, it was late. We celebrated with a wee dram and a hearty supper. We both slept soundly.

The lost property office in the hospital had no wedding ring lurking in the safe. I've promised MacSporran a new one. I met one of the ladies who cleans the wards. She was great fun during my hospital stay. We had a long chat and she said that the ward isn't the same without you ...which made me chuckle. Perhaps I should book a bed and have a slot for patient fun time.

I have a plate full of date slices to share. The coffee is freshly made. The cushions are plumped. A big hug to all my Granspals.

Hello all, just wanted to hide in here and say I really, really, cannot take much more of our current situation.

Thank you.

Hugs right back at you soop.

phoenix I wish I had something to offer. Your sentence spoke volumes. Take care.

My editor son has sent me a text to say that he is to appear on the Lorraine tv show at nine tomorrow morning.

Ooh, will look out for him, soop. Do you know what he's going to be talking about?

I shall definitely be tuning in to see soopson on Lorraine tomorrow!

phoenix -I really feel for you and hope things will soon take a turn for the better for you

I've no idea what it is he'll be talking about. Must be work related. I've booked my seat in front of the television. It will be the very first time I've watched anything at that hour. I have no idea who Lorraine is.

phoenix You deserve better.

phoenix I hope things soon pick up for you and really hope my gaffe of yesterday didn't make them worse.

Oh, phoenix I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so downhearted. I do hope things change for you very soon

phoenix I've thought about you often over Christmas, I hope with all my heart that something good happens for you soon.

I'm about to feed the cats. Please take good care of each other. If bags calls in, please give her my tartan chair and footstool and the best highland rug for her knees.

phoenix please stay as long as you like - we'll give you TLC, [cupcakes] and hugs.

Things must look up for you soon. You do deserve better as soop says.

I used to like Lorraine. She must be knocking on a bit now. I'm sure I used to watch her when son was tiny.

Surely not...she's only 54!!!

And I think she only has a daughter.

phoenix ((((hugs)))).

Phoenix hugs from me too.
Soop your lovely son won't get a word in edgeways. Lorraine has a happy knack of both posing AND answering the same question. I gave up watching her yonks ago but will look out for your DS tomorrow /today it's past the witching hour!

(((hugs))) phoenix

Just popped in to, metaphorically, stoke up the Aga while you are all sleeping and to catch up on the goss. Good to have some peace. My DD's tribe are feral ( her description) and just occasionally, I can bear it no more. Thinking of applying the ear plugs I got on the plane! I love being with them and I know that in 4 weeks I will be home alone again and wishing I could hear them arguing and biffing each other and complaining about the menu on offer and refusing to get in the shower/go to bed/get up/tidy their rooms......... DD is planning a visit home in June with just the youngest before she turns 2 which will be lovely.
soop I wish I could watch Lorraine and your DS. Sadly can't get it over here nor iPlayer. You will be a VPM (nothing to do with undergarments!)
Phoenix
Bags hope your tootsie will be more comfortable soon.
Oh well, back to the battle ground - sorry, I took the last date slice, it was yummy.

Phoenix (((hugs))) .
