Night Summer, sleep tight, thanks for the goodies, even though I am not a serving member of the gaga jury

goodnight all, my brain is pickled

Good morning everyone

 

A cloudy morning with showers likely.

 

Skylark, I hope your brain is less pickled now

A little nippy this morning and a sprinkling of rain.  What will you be baking for us Yogi when you have your new kitchen up and running?  Looks forward to something gorgeous   Hope your brain is unpickled this morning Skylark

Morning all It's gone chilly here I've put the heater on at work! Bright but cloudy, not sure of the forecast for this afternoon Had a big heavy sleep last night Hope you all slept well and that you're feeling not so pickled this morning skylark (casey & the chloroform really got to me y'day), glad you liked the refreshments yogi

What would you like, Squiggle? I must warn you, I am rubbish at making scones, they always end up like biscuits. My Victoria sponges are always very light though.

 

Good morning everyone.

That sounds lovely Yogi, I am sure everyone else will be pleased too.  Do tell us all about how your new kitchen will be, colours and everything, then we can picture it.

At the moment, it is an empty shell but hopefully it will be nice when it's finished.

The kitchen is not very big, so I have chosen cream coloured units to keep it light and airy.

My father used to make fruit scones when I was a child, I've never had better. He used his own recipe but never wrote it down, so it is lost in the mists of time.

So many of my nana's recipes went the same way, El.

 

Re my scone making attempts, I have tried lots of recipes over the years - and failed miserably every time. Even a friend of hubbys (who is a baker) couldn't figure out where I was going wrong. T'is a mystery.

Morning x 
Got a call from my son about half an hour ago, he is in A&E, he has had an accident at work and looks like his hand is broken. Dont know the extent of it yet. The site manager is with him . My son hates hospitals and he has got himself in a bit of a state, told him to ask for a blanket as he sounds in shock. Awful i have to tell him to do that, one would think someone would have done that already  Going to phone him back in a bit, see whats happening....................x

I am going up to hospital, bye for now xx

oh skylark, I do hope everything will be ok with your son i can't believe it, what rotten luck

I agree, it sounds like it was stressful especially as he doesn't like hospitals.  I am sure he will feel better when you are there

I'm sorry to hear about your son, Skylark

Skylark, I hope your son will be okay.

I agree with Squiggle, he'll feel a lot better once you are with him.

We are home, the site manager drove us which was nice.
Well his left thumb is broken, he has 5 stitches, wont go into it why, as it isnt for the faint hearted. He has Flucloxacillin, for any infection, and painkillers. He has an appointment on Thursday 8.30am () at the review clinic . We will see what happens from there. What a carry on!
Will try to get back later , thanks for your concerns xxxx

Poor lad, sounds like he got a sore one.

I'm glad he's not hurt worse skylark but speaking from experience, stitches in the thumb is painful, so broken and stitched must feel a lot worse I hope he's ok in himself, please wish him a speedy recovery from ill of us Do you know how it happened?

So sorry to hear about your son's accident Skylark.  Hope he makes a speedy recovery.  Sending  and , although of course he won't want them!!!

 

Hope all is going well with the kitchen refit Yogi.  It's sunny here now after a very cloudy morning.  Hope you are all well. 

Hi Joyron, hope you are having a good day.

ATM, the kitchen is an empty shell, and there is no ceiling either.

By the end of the week, I hope to have a lovely new kitchen and most importantly, a dishwasher.

Skylark, I hope your son makes a speedy recovery

 

Yogi, good luck with the kitchen.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your kind wishes x
The  wounded soldier has had lots of visitors! He isnt so bad now, in pain , but the shock wearing off. He was carrying some bricks on a tray thing, it got caught in his jacket, he pulled his jacket, he somehow lost his footing, the bricks fell as he was falling and one landed on his hand. Thats about the best i can explain it! It couldnt have happened at a worse time, but there you are.xx

Good luck with the kitchen Yogi

Sounds nasty and one of those accidents that once it starts you can do nothing to stop it.  Will his firm be supportive of time off resulting from this accident? I do hope so. 

Hi squiggle, yes the firm are paying him. My son said in the car home, can i make a claim! Which he wont but made them think! Just another drama in the Skylark household, oh for a quiet life !

Signing out for the night, catch up tomorrow.

Goodnight all xxx Going to shower the patient x

sky lark - glad your son is OK

I couldn't enter any threads for ages, then when I tried to post I got an error message - and then I ended up with duplicate posts, so I gave up.

How are you, Ros?

Oh no, sinusitis is so painful, poor you.

 

New kitchen will be nice............eventually.

night

Good morning everyone

 

Likey to be sunny with some showers today.

 

Sinusitis is nasty

Morning x
Just off out , poor you Ros x
Hope the forum runs better today

Good morning everyone. Overcast atm, and light rain is forecast for later.

The electician is working in the kitchen today, so I'm not sure how much internet access I'll have as the router may be switched off.

Skylark, I hope your son is a quick healer, and gets better soon.

Good morning everyone, short sharp showers seem to be the order of the day here at the moment. 

 

Sympathies for Ros, sinusitis is a horrible thing to put up with.  Skylark how's the patient this morning?  Yogi when you can get on tell us all about what the electrician is putting in.  Is he putting those little twinkly lights in the ceiling like you see on the home improvements shows?  I would love to have those.  Keep repeating it will all be worth it in the end, it will all be worth it in the end
