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.

Hello all! Sorry I've not been in, have too more college essays to finish by Monday 🤯

I'm just going to grab some coffee and take the laptop out to the garden! Hope everyone is ok!

Morning all.

I have received a selection of bacon, Back bacon with various cures, so smoked, maple, treacle cured.

Also bacon from rarer breeds so Gloucester old spot, Tamworth and sadleback.

I don't want to spoil the bacon with 100 other things so just bacon, eggs and bread / toast.

@PinkDaydreams I was closest to my father but he's not here anymore, so happy father's day to yours!

PinkDaydreams · 21/06/2020 09:34

Oh I’m so sorry :(
To be honest my real dad is an arsehole, haven’t spoken to him since I was about 17 (I’m mid thirties now). Horrible horrible man. But I celebrate it for dh from our little one 😊

PinkDaydreams · 21/06/2020 09:34

Anyway, please can I have a bacon buttie?! Just got back from a walk, started to rain a bit, looks like it’s going to be another grey day.

sashh · 21/06/2020 12:38

Bacon Butties all round

Morning all.

Sitting looking out while eating toast. A female partridge flies in. We look at each other.

Frownette · 22/06/2020 07:18

(IRL just had poached egg and mushrooms on toast now relaxing with a coffee)

Something refreshing? Like yoghurt and fruit and toast?

PinkDaydreams · 22/06/2020 11:26

Morning! Please can I have some granola with yoghurt and fruit? In real life I’ve not long come back from a big walk, pegged out the clothes washing and then it’ll be big food shop time. What’s everyone up to in real life today?

sashh · 22/06/2020 11:48

How about some vanilla yoghurt poured over melon and mango pieces?

OP posts:
PinkDaydreams · 22/06/2020 11:53

Yes please! Very summery and refreshing Grin

sashh · 22/06/2020 13:04

IRL my plans are

Have a bath, consider getting dressed before rejecting the idea in favour of PJs, then a glass or two of wine.

Oh and I'm writing a vegan cook book, I might add to that

OP posts:
NoGravyForYou · 22/06/2020 15:41

Yummy! That melon was gorgeous thanks so much @sashh!

In RL I have made contact with OW's boyfriend as exDP is an idiot and left all of his emails signed in on the laptop which I found when I went to do college work. Went on for longer than he admitted and the things he said about me 😡 Feel no guilt about telling her poor boyfriend now, he deserves so much better as do I!

NoGravyForYou · 23/06/2020 03:51

Morning all, I'll open up!

I'm feeling like porridge this morning so I'll throw some in the slow cooker and it should be ready when you're all here. There's some honey, fresh berries, and some whiskey cream as well.

NoGravyForYou · 23/06/2020 03:52

@sashh a vegan cookbook is interesting! Are you a vegan yourself?

Frownette · 23/06/2020 04:26

Oh gosh @NoGravyForYou - sooner you can detach from him the better. Have you had a response yet from OW boyfriend?

You've reminded me of a dessert my mother used to make, whiskey syllabub

Frownette · 23/06/2020 04:28

She put oats in it

mogloveseggs · 23/06/2020 04:33

Frownette · 23/06/2020 04:35

Oh no @mogloveseggs - was this out of the blue? Go outside and have a cry Flowers
