Hugs for Mim...a gorgeous wee girl.

Theres a lot of waiting, of one sort or another, in the kitchen these days. I guess I incude myself in that too, with various family concerns that need watching, waiting with a bit of hopefulness thrown in. It’s not easy stuff 
for all in that situation. It’s always easy to imagine no-one else is in a similar position, but actually we’re all of us coping with the downs of life as well as enjoying the blessed bits too. Talking of which, what a beautiful wee girl mamissimo!
Corner, funnily enough my advice about not climbing a rickety loft ladder wearing “sloppy” slippers isn’t appreciated either. Despite reminders that, back in the day, my dad fell off a loft ladder and ended up in hospital - doing that very thing!
What a thoughtful gift, greyduster, a lovely present for your lad. The story about your son made me smile, men do seem to have a hoovering up attitude to food I find!
We’ve enjoyed a good day today, in the company of dd2 and her crew, celebrating gd’s 12th birthday. She loves being outdoors, especially if there’s a chance to climb. Her wee sister less so, but I’d taken a spare camera to occupy her. Their dog had a good run, I had my new toy with me, the menfolk supervised (very loosely, to my daughter’s disquiet) the climbing activities - so altogther a grand day out.
Greyduster, sorry I realise I didn’t ever reply to your question up thread about my new toy. It’s a glass photo sphere, purchased from that well known company, you know the one that flows like a river? I don’t think it’s the same as a fish eye lens, it’s inexpensive and fun to fiddle about with and get some unusual shots. I’m really enjoying experimenting with it
Panache how lovely to hear from you. I am sorry your troubles are ongoing but I have realised as we all get older we all have our own problems to deal with. It is really how we do that that is important.
I hope you find the help you need and your DH continues to recover.
A sunny good morning greeting to you lovely lot. I am feeling "the heat". Wearing the lightest of clothing and yet the temperature is climbing and I am all aglow. 
granniequeenie I really would love one of those orb thingies. May add one to the birthday present list.
Thank you, dear Panache for your much appreciated, fulsome update. We do worry when there is no news.
Tomorrow's appointment is in a hospital that is a good bit distant than others that we attend. We shall need to take the ferry for part of the journey. If the weather remains pleasant...we'll be most grateful.
Just wanted to offer my condolences Doodle on hearing your sad news.
This lady obviously meant a lot to you and you have appreciated how well she cared for your brother in trying circumstances,which obviously, meant a lot to you.
Of course you are going to miss your daily connection, however what a relief knowing she had such a short period of knowing about her Terminal Cancer,and then passing away in a peaceful setting and pain free......real blessings.
I am sure that will prove a great comfort to you in the days ahead.
Thinking of you
Goodness, I'm running to try to catch up.
I'm so sorry to hear your sad news doodle, sending a hug and love.
That sounds quite a trip tomorrow soop wishing you calm weather and much sunshine as well as a helpful outcome.
The carvery sounds good with your granddaughter ann, lovely to have had unexpected visitors too. I find I do better with that sort, I can't faff around in advance then.
Good to see you panache, sorry you both continue to struggle, how lovely the weather sounds in your area, we can't get anywhere near those temperatures, no daffodils in our garden although the camelia is beginning to show colour.
Mim is a delight mamissimo, her photo triggered a smile here.
Uncertainty and waiting seem to be ever present for many of us grannyq, difficult isn't it? I suspected Mr C was not alone in his climbing foolishness. It didn't help that after he had climbed and installed some new lights some were faulty and the whole lot had to be taken down and returned. They were not replaced. Enough was enough for one day. I'm also fascinated by that glass photo sphere, suspect one may find its way here at some point. Mr C would like it, maybe we need two. 
Sounds as if the Lesters are all very busy kitty, can understand tension is building, please relax when you can.
So, who have I forgotten? Bound to be more than one, my apologies, the memory isn't what it was. Hope for positive news for you eilyann and all who are waiting outcomes of whatever sort. Its a difficult time for many.
I'm off to persuade Mr C that prowling around won't make his Amazon delivery arrive any sooner. He's like a cat on hot bricks. Maybe a restorative cuppa and biscuit will do the trick.
Take care everyone. Not sure what this week will bring in corner-land but I'll be checking on you if not posting.
Doodle My condolences on the death of your dear sister-in-law.
corner We shall need to check in advance of setting out for the ferry. It's a long distance and, should the ferry be cancelled due to high wind, we wouldn't be able to keep the appointment. There is a much longer alternative route. Fingers crossed that we won't need to take that option. Although I accept that it's a small price to pay for an expert in depth appraisal of the Cancer.
The sun is shining brightly. Black cat visited again last night. She has come to the conclusion that, no matter what, a plate of nutritious food will be waiting inside what is, her chalet. At least, I believe she is a she. MacSporran has his doubts. He thinks that the ears are those of a male. 
Dear Annelise, now that you are one of us lot it won't take you long to learn all the quirky stuff that is possible when you add your post. Cake will always be gratefully received. Especially lemon sandwich cake, which happens to my favourite.
Okey dokey, I am logging off for today. Should we return home with time and energy to spare, I shall pop in to say hello. If not, I shall be with you all as soon as poss. You are all very important peoples. But then you know that to be the truth.
Off to place fresh food inside the wee chalet for our visiting feline. After which, I shall read the Sunday paper and enjoy a 
.
Take good care of yourselves. 
Evening all,
