Afternoon all !
Sorry to hear about all the health issues Soop hopefully they can get it all sorted but if your hospital gave loyalty points you'd be on a winner ;-)
I love your sense of humour kitcheners- they need you lot to create a comedy for the TV !!
Eilyann , I like the afternoon tea , experience type voucher thing. Ideal when they don't need 'stuff' !
Mim is a cutie mamissimo !!
We have done our shopping and we're all ready for whatever the weather might throw at us.
I have added a picture of a letter I received this morning from my naughty boy Cooper aged 4. To celebrate his recent certificate we sent him some modelling clay which is his current favourite thing and according to his Mummy when he got it he thought he should write a thank you letter. I had a proper chuckle over his letter , ( he spelt it all himself ) and I shall be writing Facq u instead of thank you on all correspondence from here on in!! ( Especially as Grampy upon reading it said.....WHAT is that??? LOL
Izabella Is it any wonder that ward was eerily quiet when you peered around the door? The tykes...they are taking advantage of your good nature. Chanel No 5!!! That can't be right. Carbolic soap is more in keeping. Both you and Matron are duty bound to give that lot a good talking to. Check under the duvets. You never know what 'anky panky is going on right under your nose. Early night is a must. Lights out at 16:00 hours.
Ann That's cats for you. They have their own agenda. Never as much as a mew of an apology. 
eilyann I also think that a special, unusual photo frame would be welcome. It's a tough ask when both parties have almost definitely accumulated all that they need.
MacSporran is at the surgery having the second injection. We will need to make a prompt getaway for Oban appointments in the morning. I shall do my best to update you when we return. It would be grand if the weather decided not to be too wintery.
Love to you all. Stay safe and keep warm. 
And to all other kitcheners facing buggerations! 
Sorry Soop missed your post. Will be saying a little prayer for you andMacs Thank goodness you have a GP who seems to be on the ball. Safe journey tomorrow.
The view through the window...
Charleyg It states clearly on the rules for occupants of the not-too-poorly ward NO rumpy pumpy!!! The very idea of it makes me shudder.
We have snow. I shall share today's photo through the window with you.
As we were preparing our meal late yesterday afternoon, a phone call from the surgery was for MacSporran He was needing to go directly to see the GP. His legs have been swollen since that awful rogue rash (which is almost gone). GP took more bloods and gave him an injection to counteract thrombosis. He needs to return this afternoon for a second injection. The hospital rang a short time ago. Would he attend Oban hospital late morning for a scan to see if there are any clots. Then, two hours plus later, at the same hospital, he attends the haematology wing for further consultations regarding the lymphoma. A busy day awaits us tomorrow. An early start and a tricky drive to Oban. All in a good cause.
Hello the kitchen. We were caught on the hop having a crafty lie in this morning when the window cleaner put his ladder against the bedroom window! 
Since the Christmas/NY holiday his visits are completely out of synch, added to which he doesn’t usually come so early! Sooner him than me - it is freezing out there!
Charley have you checked the windows for knotted sheets? It may be a breakout! Someone will know and is not talking. I may have to come and threaten to pull a few fingernails out! Pliers please......
NannyTopsy what an absolute charmer. He looks so calm, and I love his haircut! My GS likes the swept over look too! Wait till he is asking for hair gel!
Mammissimo, Mim is just lovely and I wouldn’t worry about her having no teeth yet. They should be all the stronger when they do come through. And it certainly doesn’t spoil her smile.
Soop I am sorry to hear that buggerations are still being heaped upon you. I hope you get a swift assessment of your lump. I will keep everything crossed for you.
We are expecting snow sometime today, but forecasts differ as to how much and when. It is the same weather - why can you never get the same forecast? We have stocked up on bird food and de-iced the bird bath this morning. DH went out and tested it with his elbow to make sure it wasn’t too cold for them......?! They have been queueing up to get in there, so can’t be finding much at the moment.
I had better get on. I will look in later.
Mamissimo...Oh that gorgeous wee girl. What a little charmer. She is delightful.
Nannytopsy That garage door will still be there when the better weather arrives. Stay put! Stay warm!
Synonymous I totally understand why your husband wishes to "keep going". His positivity is a bonus. Yet, he also needs to recognise that he should not wear himself to a frazzle. Keep a sideways beady eye on him.
Good Morning to the kitchen....I crawled in during the night to sleep in the soothing comfort of the conservatory when DH’s snoring and snorting was making me murderous!
For those of us with dental buggerations I have just received an indication of divine retribution....a text messsge telling me that my dentist can’t see me today because he has flu. The receptionist thinks he may be better in a few days but I think I’m off the hook for a couple of weeks ?
My GD, Mim, has no teeth at 10 months - I kind of envy her! As you haven’t met her before I’ve added a photo.
I’ve tidied up a bit and popped some ? into a jug to cheer everyone up. I hope you all have a little bit of light and warmth in the struggles today.

I keep telling myself that after this snowiness (is that a word?) we shall start to get some better weather. I have a garage door to rub down and paint! By then I hope the teeth and backs and lumps and bumps have been attended to and are responding to treatment. to all x
soop love x and and keeping you (both) very much in our thoughts and prayers. I hope that all goes better than you could ever have dreamed possible. Really glad you travelled in the best of the weather, they tell us it is going to be bad and so I am hoping our hospital trip on Wednesday afternoon will be ok weather wise too.
DH hasn't really been Himself for a little while and I thought he was going to collapse in Chrch on Sunday, good job we have a plethora of medics in the congregation! His emotions are also swinging from one side to the other which isn't surprising really. He isn't exactly being kind to himself either as our gardening friend brought us a big trailer load of huge logs/chunks of trees so Himself has been in the garage using the log splitter, then limping round to the wood shed pushing barrow loads of logs and stacking them in there to finish drying them off for next winter. He can't do it for long and has to keep resting and I dare not even look sideways with any degree of concern. Our friend would do it for us but Himself just says he wants to do it while he can. Makes me realise what is going on in his head and just so sad for him but that sheer determination is what will get him through everything that is to come so I am not knocking it. I just wish I could help him, I am just keeping it zipped atm which seems best.
I do enjoy the goings on in the wing for poorly menfolk! If I could I would kidnap Himself and stick him in his jolly old barrow and trundle him round - that would teach him! 
I do feel for you poorly bunnies with ouchy tooth problems as it is the sort of pain you can't even get to so that you can give it a wee cuddle. Hope you find some relief or at least a dram or two so that you no longer care as much. 
So lovely to see the pictures of all the little ones with such lovely smiley faces. The sunset photo soop was gorgeous, we had beautiful skies too.
Today has been so beautiful and sunny and I hope that it won't be too long before the expected snow and ice has come and gone and the sun is back again. Just stay warm and keep safe dear kitcheners!
