...because I didn't close it over the weekend.

Today's special is eggs.

Boiled, fried, poached, coddled, convent, I might even do scotch eggs.

Tea and coffee as always and toast of course.

Morning! Hope we left the place tidy enough last night!

I would love some beans on toast and a green tea with lemon if there was some going, thanks so much @sashh.

How is everyone this morning?

I'm just going to sit out by the water fountain, send any puppies, kittens and babies in my direction!

Beans on toast is no problems, Florence is doing the rounds with tea and coffee.

Morning all.

I'm trying a range of fruit and herbal teas, some are fruit infusions some are actual tea leaves with fruit added.

And to go with it toast and preserves.

Morning all.

After reading the 'I'm Jewish AMA' thread I was going to serve bagels, but then it's Shabatt so it seems inapropriate. But I think I'll stay to the east of the med so very strong coffee, olives, tomatoes,cheeses and a variety of breads.

sashh · 17/05/2020 05:24

Morning, tea for me please. Breakfast is lovely.

sashh · 17/05/2020 08:00

OK all serious question, as this thread approaches 1000 messages, should I close the cafe when the thread is full?

OP posts:
Dancingtomusic · 17/05/2020 09:45

How do you feel about it Sashh?

I am fairly new so i dont really know how threads work, me personally i would miss this thread. But you must do what is right for you, is it taking up too much of your time?

sashh · 17/05/2020 10:07

It takes very little time, I am happy to keep it going, but threads end at 1000 messages so if I'm stopping it's a natural time to end. I like the idea of somewhere people can gather during lockdown, I like to hear about dogs, cats, babies and hangovers.

OP posts:
Dancingtomusic · 17/05/2020 12:44

I think you should keep it going then. I found this thread so helpful, that in lockdown I could virtually get away to a cafe. I also love hearing about peoples day.

I am sure there are alot of lurkers that its helping too, (they might be to shy to join) reading about normal everyday things is quite soothing.
I love how the cafe has been designed for humans and furry things.
