Love both the wig and the turban dragonfly you look lovely.
Well done for getting on with things 
Your hair doesnt look that different dragonfly and I love the turban. You are being very upbeat.
morethan (((hugs))). I'm sorry I have missed a few days and only just seen your post. It must be hell to watch your son and his family go through this awful time. It was insensitive of your ddil's parents to say that to you.
Sending loving but gentle hugs panache. Home is best, I agree!
I'm off to watch 2xdgc on a climbing wall. 
I may need a stiff drink when I get back.
TOYA.
I looked through the window and saw a rainbow...
A chilly but bright good afternoon to all dear Kitcheners.
Panache Your post was especially caring and thoughtful.
N&G I have decided to "come back" as a member of your family or as one of our over-pampered pets. Sounds like a good plan? You bet.
As for that cake...words fail me. Laura looks so beautiful.
Susan56 I'm pleased to hear that your husband is recovering from an unexpected blip. Being with Barnaby not forgetting the little cat will be just the tonic he needs.
Charleyg Tara has every right to loll on clean bedding. It's a perk that must not be denied. 
I'm about to sketch a border terrier pet of a pal of of ours. An exciting moment.
One of those mornings when tears are far too near, but then on reading these heartfelt posts I realise that, sadly, I am not alone and many of my kitchen friends are going through their own sadnesses.
Morethan words truly fail because you have so much going on all around you and as we all know it is impossable to deal and meet with everyone`s feelings.You seem to have that instinctive heart though and you find that special time for those most needy at this point in time.I only wish life offered you some much needed respite.
Although you always put on your brave face Dragonfly I can well suspect saying farewell for the present to your shining glory would be somewhat difficult,however please believe that it will return and be probably be even more shining and lush!
Trusting that this double whammy that has returned to hit you both yet again Corner is now fast improving.Take extra care, as indeed these days there is a real nip in the air.
Great news thus far regarding your man Synonymous let us hope it is very much a continuation of ever upwards and onwards.........for you both.
Whilst your beautiful meaningful poem Maw resulted in floods again, believe you me, both you and Ann are ever in my thoughts
Having recieved rather a body blow on visiting his Consultant yesterday my dearest and I are in a very fragile mood.He remains ever optomistic and determined but sadly, I also wear my nurses cap,so reality is hitting home..........hard.
All around me are Christmas preperations,tomorrow we have all been invited to an afternoon session ....12 to 4pm at a nearby Hostelery by the sea where the firm have laid on a hot and cold buffet.Transport has been arranged.However no way can we now attend,home sweet home is very much what we need.
Lovely pictures yet again,thank you for the cheer they bring.
Felling very much for those trapped in these endless floods and with yet more deluges in the offing, sadly there may well be many more..........I can but hope all remain safe and will get the necessary caring they badly need.It is so heartbreaking.Always even more so when on the verge of the so called "Festive season"
Sending love and every good wish for the day and beyond.XX
Success !
Ann it’s more environmentally friendly to buy fewer big bottles rather than more small ones ... 
maw that is a lovely poem.
Love your cartoon maw,my sons dog , banned from the top floor of the house, now sleeps at the bottom of their bed....he won ?
morethan I am sure your DILs parents are suffering but your son is suffering too. I think any criticism of him from his in-laws is unwarranted, your poor DS is obviously having a hard time. I wish he would take your advice and see a GP.
dragonfly I am sure you are a delightful pixie and will look fetching in whatever you find to keep warm.
TOYA ?
Dear dragonfly Gentle hugs a plenty. Wear a soft and comfortable bonnet...as they say in bonnie Scotland. As ann says, the colourful turbans look very flattering. Go for something with pizzaz. 
GrannyGravy I am just a wee bit envious. To see and feed the rare white rhino is a huge priviledge. Mankind has much to answer for. So little respect for what really matters in this world. It is beyond sad.
Nannytopsy A delightful photo of Buddy and Willow.
Time for log off. I may have a spin on my exercise bike. Nothing too strenuous. Just enough to recharge my batteries.
TOYA 
ann I echo anno's post. Surely you deserve a full size bottle. It will last a little longer.
Maw Lovely tribute to Paw. Hattie looks ever so comfortable as she lolls on the sofa. She most certainly has a good home with you. Bless her.
morethan I agree that your granddaughter is a beautiful young lady. As for your dear son and his depression (which is perfectly understandable) he needs and deserves expert help. What you and your family has had to cope with for so long, would be unbearable without support.
An enormous get well (((hug))) for Mr Synonymous. I'm certain that you are giving him plenty of tender loving care.
Charleyg The advice given by granniesyb is well worth consideration. Give it a whirl.
kitty inflamed sinuses are beyond a buggeration. Our GP always stresses that steam inhalation is the best form of treatment.
Not such a bad day weatherwise. The waves are enormous. I love watching them crash over the rocks.
