Morning all, I'll have some of that tea and toast, thanks Kitty! Just popped in (in my pjs) to enquire after MacS and his bad chest? Hope he's not feeling too bad soop, has he seen the doctor?
Hope all other kitchen mates are ok too, 
A bonnie good afternoon to all our Kitcheners...watery sunshine and a tad blustery here in Kintyre.
I'm amazed and chuffed to see so many of you in the new kitchen extension. Imperfect27 ...We're only allowed 1000 messages, after which, a new thread (kitchen, in our case) has to be opened. I often wonder how many thousand chats we've shared since the first kitchen opened. As for sugar...I am partial to very dark chocolate.
kitty many thanks for the hot toast, butter and marmalade. I shall tuck in before that lot gobble it all and leave me with a pile of crumbs.
MacSporran was told by the specialist to visit his GP if he was to succumb to a chest infection. Does he do as he's told? Nah! He claims to be coping and I, being diplomatic, agree for the time being. He has dozed all morning. Rory is in his element. A cosy lap on which to curl, is his idea of cat heaven.
Galen The treat that you will share with Bellasnana will do you both a power of good. Us lot will demand regular updates. Boy, oh boy, that boat will rock!!! 
I always love your photos soop. I sorry to hear that Macsporran isn't feeling too well, I hope these freesias I've brought in for the new kitchen cheer him. I'm sure you and Rory are making sure he stays in the warm.
What a difference a blue sky makes. Our weather which has been mild, grey and damp for weeks suddenly changed on Monday. All the wild flowers that have been green and leggy, suddenly opened including a very silly poppy that didnt anticipate the cold night that followed. Our weather forecaster even started blinking a frost alert which it hasn't ever done before.
Hello dustyangel Your photos are lovely too. I like the yellow flower in particular. Oh, I see that they are freesias...my absolute favourite flower. MacSporran presented me with a beautiful bunch of freesia on our very first date...
MacSporran continues to cough (heartily). I've told him that if his condition worsens, I shall frog-march him along to the surgery. Does he care? 
He will once I've had enough of putting up with his lame excuses.
It is a lovely end of afternoon here in Kintyre. I believe that the wind has changed direction. May not be quite as cold as it was the night before last. We had thick layers of ice over the puddles along our path. Rory stepped gingerly over the ice. He then scooted back indoors, shaking his legs in a comic fashion. You would never believe that he was such a tough guy before joining our family. 
I'm about to log off. Ironing duties tomorrow morning. I shall pop in to catch up with our Granspal Kitcheners just as soon as I return. 
You've read the words of the wise (and experienced) Alea and Galen ,soop more ammunition for you to get MacS to the doctors tomorrow.
I didn't post a photo of the the freesias, here they are.
The pretty yellow flower is a Bermuda Buttercup, otherwise known as oxalis-pre-caprae. They are classed as a 'noxious weed' here but I like them.
Why, once in though, would anybody want to leave???
Shame for your sister, but if it keeps out American golfers, oh dear what a shame
