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.

MinnieMountain · 11/08/2020 18:24

Hi @mogloveseggs. I love your username.

Are there any rockets left?

PinkDaydreams · 11/08/2020 18:28

@MinnieMountain here’s a rocket!! I used to love sparkles, can you still get them?

NoGravyForYou · 11/08/2020 18:49

I shall take an after dinner white magnum if there's one going @PinkDaydreams!

How is everyone?

PinkDaydreams · 11/08/2020 19:28

@NoGravyForYou I’ve found one!

I also have some cat and dog ice cream too to help them cool off

AlCalavicci · 12/08/2020 04:32

Morning all , ice pops for breakfast is ok right . . . . . ?

@MinnieMountain >> waves

MinnieMountain · 12/08/2020 06:33

Morning @AlCalavicci. Your floating floor clean today sounds hard work. Do they have good air con there?

I'll pop in for coffee for now.

sashh · 12/08/2020 06:42

Morning all

I had a bad night so I think...

Smoothies and cocktails, help yourselves to fruit.

Florence has baked some nice bread overnight so I might be tempted to do some tapas, if there is an red wine and chorizo left. I'll do some cold ones in a bag for those who have to work.

@MinnieMountain , it is hard work Sad
Yes the air con there is very good but has to be kept at a fixed temp of 19 /21 to keep the humidity down .
very outing look up Data centers there will be a ton of info that will be gibberish but the photos will give you a idea what we do.

@sashh , sorry to hear you are feeling rough , go and sit outside before it gets too warm , here is some iced coffee and fresh fruit .

sashh · 12/08/2020 07:41

Thank you @AlCalavicci

Morning all!

@sashh sorry you’ve had a bad night, get in the garden, relax and we will sort out the food and drink orders today!

mogloveseggs · 12/08/2020 08:25

Morning
@sashh sorry to hear that Flowers
Ice pop Sounds perfect with a bowl of fruit today.
Does anyone else feel weary of the daylight? I don't like summer anyway but every year my eyes start to ache around now-too much bright light. Roll on dark nights yes I know I'm weird

PinkDaydreams · 12/08/2020 08:36

@mogloveseggs I’ve been getting headaches, had one for four days now, not sure if that’s the sunlight?!
I think autumn is my favourite season of the year Grin

PinkDaydreams · 13/08/2020 07:05

Morning all!

Hope everyone is well? I fancy poached eggs for breakfast, is that ok @sashh?

sashh · 13/08/2020 07:08

Morning all.

Has everyone had some rain now?

I thought today we could have sausages. Not just plain old pork (well they are available) but bokwurst, bratwurst, salami, chorizo, cumberland and a random selection from Lidl.

Florence has made rolls to make hotdogs and other sausage filled breads, I have put a selection with sauerkraut and stock in the oven.

Various hot and cold drinks available and it's never too early for a gluhwein.

Morning!

Sausages sounds delicious. Can we add weisswurst and pretzels too? (It was a weekend treat when I lived in southern Germany).

No rain here but it's cooler. The forecast keeps on teasing us with promises of thunderstorms.

sashh · 13/08/2020 08:05

@PinkDaydreams I didn't see you there, I'll get the eggs on/

@MinnieMountain I'll get Florence on to that, she has a German cousin.

MinnieMountain · 13/08/2020 09:04

Thank you @sashh. It was my turn to not sleep last night, so sausages are perfect timing.

PinkDaydreams · 13/08/2020 09:08

Thanks @sashh! Grin
I’ll have a sausage something for lunch!

sashh · 13/08/2020 09:27

@PinkDaydreams

How about a leek and pork sausage with a honey and mustard glaze in a bagel?

OP posts:
PinkDaydreams · 13/08/2020 09:42

My goodness you do spoil us!! That sounds delicious!

sashh · 13/08/2020 10:15

@PinkDaydreams

IRL I used to love entertaining, 5 course meals were not unusual but my arthritis has stopped that so I spoil people virtually instead.

NoGravyForYou · 13/08/2020 10:32

Morning all!
Hope you got a better nights sleep @sashh!
I didn't sleep well, another person has commented to me ( without me asking!) the exDP seems to be in a bad way and again I'm left feeling sick when I think about it. Considering just ringing him and finding out myself how he's doing.

The honey and mustard glaze sausage sounds like exactly what I need today! Could I have a Vietnamese iced coffee as well please, it's still so warm here even after the thunder storms.

sashh · 13/08/2020 11:48

Iced coffees of various kinds on the way.
