Soop's Kitcheners...

I've suddenly gone camera shy (unless dressed in a burkha)

Well you'd better get over it pronto, galen!

soop, I await your command and the appointment for our meetup will be set! Wish I could command MacS's!! Wish him a very belated happy birthday from me, please.

Bella really sorry your DDs have caused you so much upset. You have enough to worry about at the moment. ((Huggs))

Lorna how awfully worrying for you all. Hope the police get it dealt with soon.

Soop hope you get the referral through soon.

AlieO don't forget the baby pictures when you get them. We all need some cheering up.

Congratulations to you and your family AlieO. My two youngest GSs were born in Oxford and they and their mum had very good treatment First one was 10lbs 9oz, breech and emergency CS! Your poor DD has has a rough time but is in good hands. I'm sure she will feel better very soon. Bella, you really don't deserve such ingratitude. However, a meeting with Galen is certain to raise your spirits. I am at Sandhurst celebrating my birthday with DS1's family.

Happy birthday anno, I bet you're having a great time

Lona sorry I called you Lorna in my last post. I've had a glass (or two) of and am not concentrating as I should.

Many happy returns Anno

My meeting with Bella will be the day before my 70th birthday!
So I'm doubly looking forward to it!

Crafting I don't mind at all.

Heartfelt to so many kitcheners with a losd on their mind - bellasnana, lona, kittylester, soop and mcsporran and any I have missed. Some years ago when DH was in the middle of one of his crises- aortic aneurysm I think or maybe pneumonia, whatever, , I was feeling very at the end of my rope one night and a strange feeling of somebody or something sharing my worry sort of slipped over me. I am not one for religious experiences, but felt strangely comforted. If I can wish you one thing it would be that " peace of mind" moment which I felt. All was (eventually) well and I wish for you that your sorrows and worries will also pass.

"losd"??? I meant load of course!

soutra I've also experienced that "strange feeling of calm" once or twice in my life, so I know what you mean.

I wish a peaceful day for all, with so much going on. Hope we all get a bit of today.

The highs and lows of life all reflected here in the kitchen, it is a lovely place.

I had a bit of an unfortunate incident yesterday in a place known to some of you.

A friend and I were parking her car outside Kelvingrove Museum. She had gone off to feed the meter while I meandered over to read the inscription on a war memorial.

I have no clear recollection of what happened but suddenly I was on the ground hearing someone shouting 'oh my god are you all right'.

It seems I was struck by her car as she reversed out of a parking space..

I was a bit shocked, shaky and lightheaded but when my friend arrived on the scene I just wanted to get away so on my insistence we continued on our way. My wrist hurt like hell but I thought it would get better so we went to the cinema as planned.

The upshot was that the pain didn't improve and I spent last evening in A&E.
A broken wrist was not what I expected to come home with when we set out yesterday

What a terrible shock for you baubles and to be without a working wrist is terrible. I hope it doesn't take too long to heal. for you

and

A feeling of calm is what I could do with most of all right now. Just stick me back in a quiet corner of the kitchen and pretend I am not there.

Nellie Can I sit with you please? I'll bring us a nice cuppa and some hot buttered toast Peace of mind for an hour would be great.

Baubles What a shock for you, and a huge nuisance too I expect

Hello everyone I haven't ventured in here before but need a place to sit while new flooring is being laid. Hope there's a spare chair.

Lona Please do. It's an ever expandable safe corner.

Oh Baubles, what a shocker! I'm sure you will still be feeling a bit shaky after that experience. Take it easy for a while

Nellie and Lona Look after yourselves today.

Baubles that's an awful thing to have happened. Do hope you are feeling ok. The shock often hits you later

I'm also lurking in a corner of Soop's kitchen. It's raining and gloomy which about reflects my mood. DH has an appointment with his oncologist tomorrow so will get the result of his CT scan. I'm scared stiff

(((Hugs))) and to all who are going through trouble and strife.

Oh Bella I wish I could hold your hand.

BellaI know it is little comfort but we will all be with you in spirit in that room tomorrow.

Sending the strongest vibes for your DH's result to be in his favour. Bella and Mr B. (((Hugs)))
