Morning all, well the cafe thread is just about full so here's the new thread.

Just a reminder Florence has made pastries over night, the garden is open with the sensory garden, the cat area (with catnip bush) is available and feel free to cool your feet int the water feature.

Just going to help myself to a coffee if that's alright @sassh, I'm wrecked today!

Luckily the children i look after are also wrecked and are happy to watch a movie and chill for the morning. Might venture out for a walk today, haven't done it in weeks as it was just so stressful having to remind the kids to keep their distance from people constantly.

You know when a thread is good when it appears twice on your screen
Both the full one and a new one.
Thanks @sashh Grin

Morning all.

Well it lookls like it will be another hot day so I've got in extra fruit and juices, try some guava, lychee or chayote.

I have punjabi tinda but that is probably best cooked.

To balance the fruit I've made overnight oats amd there's yoghurt and toast.

Morning @ssash. Could I have some Punjabi Tinda and a lychee juice please? Thank you.

Geralt’ll just have a little rest in these reeds in the garden. He’s all tired out from the catnip yesterday.

IRL it is a busy day for me, I've already had an Iceland delivery and I'm waiting for the Sky engineer who has just called and will be less than an hour.

I’m feeling really fed up of this lockdown now. I understand why we have to do it but I can’t wait to be able to take 2 yr old son back to the playground again and the library and various local museums. We are out everyday normally at either a class or museum/library. We went for a walk yesterday and stupid me forgot we’d end up walking past the playground, cue tears when we didn’t go in :( it’s so hard for the children that don’t understand.
I’ll stop moaning now, sorry!

Good luck with the Sky guy @sashh.

Very good today @NoGravyForYou. It’s my birthday- 45 today. How are you doing?

Gerald had a tick on him earlier, so I had to get the tweezers out. He was very good about standing still whilst I hoicked it off him. Gave him some chicken after to smooth his nerves and the dreamies have gone down well.

The Sky 'guy' was called Amber.

@PinkDaydreams that's tough, poor ds.

@Jessica

Apparently Sky ar at about 20% female engineers and want to recruit more and have also given staff a number of paid days off if you don't have childcare.

We had a good socially distant chat.

Hmmmm, I notice the back gate is open! I’m going to sneak in and do a bbq if anyone fancies it?! Lemon, garlic and herb chicken skewers, salt and pepper beef burgers, hotdogs, summer salad with many different dressings, bbq bananas with chocolate and ice cream for pudding. I can do some chicken for the cats too?! 😻

Morning all



I might as well continue with the bbq, I'll pop some sausages on and some steak (traditional Aussie breakfast is steak and eggs)
