Soops kitchen, a place of reflection, refuge and at times revelry.

I think it is a splendid idea but I don't know where you live, and I doubt if if it is remotely close to London. My driving days are over.

He does look a handsome boy

We could share him. Cats live quite happily in 2 homes as long as each feeds them well 😸

Are you sure he is not fully grown? I am not surprised he has 4 pouches a day because seeing them in a supermarket, they have shrunk disgracefully. He would also get treats of cooked chicken and I may offer him some fish and see the reaction. He could share my bed at night, having loads of space for himself, he could stretch out. The rear garden is enclosed, what not to like here?

Spiros is also on my list so please watch out!

Charleygirl be careful what you are offering. This tabby boy eats up to 4 pouches of food a day as he’s still not fully grown - he is eating me out of house and home.
If you are still sure, he can come and have a holiday with you.
PS he is very cuddly.

You’ll be missed, Grandmabatty. Hope we see you back here soon

Our Welsh friends have just left, back to their camper, they tow a little car that they use to get about, it’s been great to see them, an unexpected surprise for us all.
Earlier a tidy up Saturday before the heat starts tomorrow when we’ll feel like doing not a lot for the week. Having said that, MrJ isn’t bothered by it, my thermostat is different from his.
Hope those away are having a great time.

Oh *Grandmabatty we will sorely miss you. Haste ye back lovely lady - bc it won’t be the same without you!

L’il Miss went home with a Greggs lunch but sadly Yorkshire Miss couldn’t make it over this afternoon after all. Soon, I hope.

I’m tired tonight.
Last night was such fun having L’il Miss ti sleep here but it was one of those random nights when I just could not sleep! Aargh! L’il Miss was flat out by 9:30pm
But I definitely saw 2am! Why? 🤷‍♀️

Anyway I’m so tired I feel like space cadet so I’m off to sleep now. I was going to watch the first ever episode of Clarkson’s Farm this evening now I’ve signed up for my 28 day free trial, but tomorrow is a whole new day untouched and I need some sleep!

TillyTrotter that cat lounging on the window sill looks delightful. Are you sure he/she wouldn't like a change of scenery? I miss Tara my previous cat, it has been 3 years.

Grandmabatty I am so sorry to hear you are having a rest. Please don't forget to come back when the time is right.

The only time I am pleased I live in a cold house is now, in the middle of a heatwave. I don't need a fan on, it is cool enough.

Ow Grandmabatty take a break by all means but remember your friends are here waiting and hoping you will return when it’s the right time for you. 💗

A cloudier day here but very humid. The house holds the heat no matter how many windows are open (on the cool side of the house) and it’s 27 degrees upstairs at the moment!

A fairly busy day, changed the bedclothes, did some ironing and resumed attacking the weeds in the front garden. One of my neighbours did ‘no mow May’ and all the weeds from her lawn have spread seeds onto several front gardens.

Best wishes to those in the quiet corner.
Have a pleasant evening everyone.

Grandmabatty have a break and come back when you are ready.
I am posting much less currently, I am reasonably ok but don’t want to talk about my situation.
I am dealing with it and love to read how you are all are and how your lives are going.
I rejoice with your happy news and sympathise with those who need it
Take care everyone.

Although you’ll definitely be missed grandmab good for you for doing what you need to do. Hope to see you again when the time is right x

Oh, Grandma batty I'm so sorry you are leaving. I always enjoy reading your posts.
Perhaps you would consider returning after a little break?
Wishing the best for you.

Hello kitchen people,

I’ll miss you Grandmabatty. Your posts are always so interesting.

A quiet day here for me. Last week was busy and I’m off to Kew for a few days next week, then hairdresser on my return and the Arts Society and Book group. I have booked a ticket to see the Escher exhibition at Somerset House while I’m in Kew. If it’s really hot though I might just go to Kew Gardens and keep in the shade - definitely not the Palm House.

We’ve had a lot of rain today but it’s still muggy.

It’s OH’s turn to cook and he’s doing eggs, bacon and baked beans. I did Coronation chicken and all the trimmings yesterday for my cousins and I’m cooking a gammon joint tomorrow.

Have a good evening everyone.

We'll miss you, and your wee boys, Grandmabatty. Take care, hope to see you back in the not too distant future.

Step away from the ginger cat 😾 YiaYia!! You have previous!😂

Beautiful boy 🐈 TillyTrotter, he looks very much at home.

Happy holidays to the brooks, MawsRosie and all on the move.
Have fun, to all enjoying family gatherings.

I have DGD, almost 15, here for the weekend, we are snuggled up on the sofa watching old episodes of The Hit List. 🎵 🎶 She can identify the recent songs, I get the golden oldies! DH and I used to enjoy that on a Saturday evening.
Dinner was braised Cumbernauld sausages in onion gravy with mash, one of her favourites. Tomorrow we are going shopping... " Haud me back.."🤣

Thinking of all in the Quiet Corner, especially those with worries, illness or sorrow.

Wishing everyone a peaceful Saturday evening and a sunny 😎 weekend. TOYA.

Ahh, you’ll definitely be missed Grandmabatty see you when you return x

You do what you have to Grandmabatty I will miss your posts, take care.

There is a warm welcome for you when you are ready to return 🙋‍♀️

Ladies, i think im going to step back from social media for a while. Im no longer under 16, but a detox would be good. See you later x

TillyTrotter Thank you and yes, they certainly do.

Lovely toes FGT2 👍

I need to get a wriggle on, we have a very busy day, lots of catching up with one of our Aussie contingent. Our three youngest AC are also hoping to come and see her at varying times.

If you have this glorious weather, I hope you enjoy it 🌞

It’s a girl and she’s very friendly, I will try not to bring her home.😂

I am very fond of ginger cats Yiayia .
Your ginger boy/girl looks very comfy on the chair 🐈

Ahh beautiful cat Tilly just like my Spiros!We have a ginger cat enjoying the sun this morning.
