On soop's behalf, I will post her usual welcome
Here we are again
Happy as can be
All good pals and jolly good company.
Never mind the weather
Never mind the rain
As long as we're together...
Whoops we go again.
WELCOME. Make yourselves at home 
refained
Too posh for DH and me then 
!!
We'd better stay where we are
Evening All. Hanging my head in shame again, just can’t run fast enough to catch up properly. Funny old day for me, and not the amused sort if you know what I mean.
Oh dear, jane and pittcity, the delays can be very difficult, especially navigating bureaucracy. Look after yourselves.
Welcome home charley, remember you can tell us without needing to be tactful!
That’s the best attitude to being a ‘great’ n&g, the little one will look forward to visits to be led astray
Not liking the sound of that fleece, greyd, I would be returning it and asking for a refund.
Need to whisper this one - I don’t like custard tarts or any variation of them. Took my ma-in-law ages to get over the shock, I am told her custard tarts were to die for. She made me profiteroles and eclairs instead, I was happy 
.
That’s a very handsome painting soop, your family are lucky indeed.
Time for sleep now. Take care everyone, stay warm, it’s flipping cold here again.
I can’t believe (except of course I do) the hassle and stress you bereaved people are suffering.
Heaven knows it was bad enough when everything went smoothly. 
The birthday celebrations continue...cards from the Brum DGCs arrived today, their mummy had forgotten them on Saturday. I had noticed but unlike my poor dear Mum who could take umbrage at the slightest thing, I decided seeing their little faces was much more important!
And then this afternoon at Book Club my friends surprised me with scones, cake, fizz, flowers and a personalised card. If you can see it, look carefully at the bottom right hand corner. And on the back. Needless to say I cried. Bless them!
Are squirrels nocturnal? Can’t sleep because DH’s pump is whistling so in another bedroom. We have either got big squirrels or a lodger in the loft! Time for a rat man I think - although the last one put his foot through the bedroom ceiling ... 
The kitchen is never less than busy is it.
Harri you must be very worried about your DS but thankful that it isn't a heart attack. He is in the right place but you must be on edge. Have 
or anything else that helps.
morethan, it's lovely to see you back here and with good news too. Things are looking up for you and your family - you deserve it.
there doens't seem to be very much joined up about your DH's care and needs Ann, which is added stress for you. I hope the family arriving is a blessing rather than adding to your difficulties.
What a lovely birthday you are having maw, it's going on for ages and ages. Your book group seem like a lovely bunch.
How is the paper work doing corner. I came to my desk to make 2 phone calls - I;ll do it in a minute!!
I'm ignoring your post Jane - it's making me shudder! I think we arranged Mum's funeral without the certificate and just hoped we would have it in time. We still waited over 3 weeks.
I love custard tarts and discovered a place in Suffolk that sells GF ones. I was so excited that I ate two very quickly and felt rather poorly afterwards. I also like eclairs and profiteroles! 
Anyway, must do those two phone calls before I go to have a pedicure.
We've been on the go since breakfast time. Home to a pot of tea and a shortbread biscuit and ...all the happenings since I bade you farewell yesterday.
A very warm welcome to Pittcity. You are in need of special, tender, loving care. I'm hoping that you've been offered one of the most comfortable chairs (together with a freshly laundered tartan rug) and something to warm the cockles of your heart.
Maw You have many kind and thoughtful friends. Priceless!
Ann Your husband's condition does appear to worsening since he left hospital. You are doing all that is humanly possible to enable him to feel comfortable and secure. I wish that I hug you right this moment.
morethan You are a marvellous mum, mum-in-law and granny. There are a good many people who would be a lot worse off without your support. Well done.
harrigran That was one mega scare for you to endure. I hope that the next news update is less so. Please share with us. It's what we do. 
I sat looking long and hard at the last young fox portrait. I have done a little more work on it. I'm a little happier. Here it is.
Pittcity You shall have the chaise, from which you can watch the sun go down over the Hebridean islands of Islay and Jura.
Oh dear, life is seldom uneventful for Kitcheners, many, if not most of you have got more than your share of problems - and then some.
I do wish you a tolerably happy outcome where possible and fortitude where not.
I really should learn not to venture outside (NB this is not a thread about a thread ) but I get so dispirited at the trivia some people elsewhere on GN seem to get exercised about and the inflexible,, intolerant, black and white attitudes I am encountering, I could weep , but not after shouting “For heavens sake count your blessings and if x,y,z is the worst thing to happen to you, you are blankety, blank lucky”
There, that feels better!
