That is a lovely name, congratulations and .
It is a lovely sunny day here in London. Now that the paint in the kitchen is dry I must empty drawers and cupboards but where to put the contents? I do not want to leave it all until the last minute, especially as more cleaning needs to be done. Maybe it would have been easier to move house but I suppose I would have needed to change things there also.
The way Tara was carrying on this morning she nearly found her way to the Cat Protection League for re-homing. She is trying to get into my mirrored wardrobe by scratching the beading which she has almost succeeded in dislodging. Then she decided to dig for victory on my duvet cover. She is out now and I will not see her until close to "Shetland" starting.
She used to be like Grace and Rory but no longer, she has to explore the great outdoors for many hours.
glamma! That's wonderful news, Sofia Rose is a very e!egant name , enjoy your cuddle!
soop I know that feeling when you realise your lifestyle doesn't fit with your wardrobe. I remember that beautiful outfit you had for a family wedding a few years ago, you looked so glamorous. Has it gone now?
I have thrown out so many things over the years which I could, at the time, easily afford to replace. Kicking myself now as much of it would have been useful and wearable. 
I think that is why I still pack things into bags in the loft rather than do the "sensible" thing.
Welcome to the world, Sofia Rose. Such a beautiful name. Congratulations to all the family...especially Glamma now a proud Great Grandmother. [flower] and 
annsixty The fact that a fall of snow can disrupt (when other regions in other countries live with mountains of the stuff) always amazes me. June must seem like a very long time ahead for your granddaughter. She has had to be tremendously patient throughout her life.
Galen You naughty tyke!!! 
Lona That particular outfit is wrapped in tissue and boxed. It cost an eye-watering amount but I cannot possibly sell it. I'm about to rummage through the wardrobe(s) again, to see what other "high-class clobber" I can sell on eBay.
The care home remains closed to visitors. I've managed to catch Andy's first match in the Davis Cup...which he WON!
Congratulations Glamma, for you and the proud parents. I agree with everyone else, Sophia Rose is a really pretty name.
We haven't had any snow here in North Shropshire today, but it's been really miserably damp and drizzly. DS1 phoned an hour or so ago saying it's been snowing most of the day in Stockport and a lot of the schools are closed! This is actually not much further north than us - another one if the few reasons to be grateful for the Cheshire Gap (which I'd never heard of until coming here to live).
Seem to be reaching an age when people I know keep on dying. The lady that ran the charity shop next door to our workshop died yesterday. I had to take her home a few months ago, but she was soon back working again - think it was what kept her going, she was 86 - but she went into hospital last month, then to respite care in the local hospital and just faded away. She was such a strong person. She broke her neck as a child during the war but that never held her back. I loved listening to her stories, even though she thought I knew who everyone was (only been here 10 years). She much preferred to ask OH to fix things in the shop than call head office, but she did take in our parcels (even if she did forget she had my new pc for three days!!).
Talking about my pc 
, had to do a factory reset today, took until now to reload all the data mainly because some of it is duplicates of duplicates of duplicates. After deleting 6,000 unwanted emails my hand doesn't want to work any more. Hope that it is fixed now as it will be out of warranty very soon.
I have 
clothes in my spare wardrobe that I have never worn. Did suggest that I ebayed some but my OH is convinced that we will go out somewhere posh at some time. In the meantime my jeans and fleece get more than their fair share of wearing.
glamma Congratulations 
I'm in a bit of a rush. So sorry to have to leave you right this minute. I promise to catch up with all Kitcheners news in the morning.
Big group (((hugs))) 
Good morning all - there will be soft boiled eggs, and crusty toast served by himself if anyone wants a late and lazy breakfast!!
No snow here annodomini now I'm retired I wouldn't mind a bit but it used to be treacherous when I had to commute. It's remarkably warm here strangely but we do have that overcast heavy sky that is a forerunner for some snow.
My youngest daughter is away for a couple of days at a spa for her best friends hen night(s) and her littlest one went down with chickenpox just before she left. Her husband is a lovely chap but a bit of a flapper and not always high in patience.
So he has two under 4s , one of whom has only been out for 2 days in the last 3 weeks due to having chicken pox , and one who also hasn't been out and is now looking like a very complicated dot-to-dot puzzle !!
We have a little sweepstake going here as to how long it will take him to call and ask to be rescued 
. It's been 20 hours so far with another 30 to go - anyone want in ???
A bright and sun-filled good afternoon to all our lovely Kitcheners. For those of you with snow on the ground, please take good care. A nasty fall can have serious consequences. Here in Kintyre we have had no snowfall all winter long. There is a dusting on the Paps of Jura.
glamma You've had a horrid time since your accident. I'm certain that you will be well advised regarding the benefits of surgery.
On the subject of the newest member of your family...please, at some time, may us lot have a wee photo to coo over?
NanaandGrampy...such thoughtful Kitcheners. It's a treat to have a delicious ready-cooked breakfast to tuck into after a pleasant walk in the sunshine.
Tizliz Your neighbour who has died sounds very like a friend that we know in the village. She is now back in hospital and there is no hope of her recovering. A stronger, more feisty lady would be difficult to find. When we moved to the village, she was one of the first to welcome us. A good organiser. A busy member of all village activities. We walked past her home this morning. The daffodils are almost in bloom. It is sad to think that this spring she won't be outside with her trowel and tending her lovely garden.
annsixty You are right...the call was well worth holding on for. Patience and perseverance have triumphed.
I'm glad you feel a little recovered, glam, and I hope any further treatment you have will help a great deal. It's so hard when the slightest thing causes pain .
Congratulations on the new grandchild. Here's a flower for her:
bags Your flower is delightful.
I hope that you are feeling better. Perhaps a spell of sunshine is just the tonic some of us need.
MacSporran is cutting the lawn. Rory is officiating. I've spent most of the afternoon ironing whilst watching Andy and Jamie play a super doubles match, which they won in straight sets.
A bit of a sore throat developing. I feel a tad lack-lustre. Thankfully the weather is improving and we have much to look forward to.
Hugs all round. x
