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.

Morning all.

Early start today due to a 4am phone call from a friend who had lost his keys so couldn't get into his own home.

Oh crumbs is he sorted now @sashh?

NoGravyForYou · 14/08/2020 07:32

Oh gosh @sashh I hope he got sorted! Do you need to head back to bed, we can sort the cafe?
If you're staying up you'll need a coffee anyway. Any preference?

sashh · 14/08/2020 07:50

Drinking coffee now.

He got here, went to bed, I decided to search his jacket (he was OK with that) the keys are in the lining of his jacket but I can't find a hole in his pocket.

IRL I'm having breakfast delivered.

In here, help yourselves guys, I'm taking coffee into the garden, I hope there are some visiting cats.

You can tell the weather has changed here-morning wash in the wardrobe instead of on the bbq outside!

Well the plot thickens.

He woke up for breakfast and said he remembered something about the police. The friend he was with came round to help us eat breakfast (we'd started drinking together but I always bail before they do) and apparently the police had taken her to a cash point to get money and then helped her into a cab.

Good morning @sashh. It sounds like you had an "interesting" morning yesterday.

I'll have whichever involves black pudding.

Frownette · 15/08/2020 07:31

Morning, just had some good news so a nice breakfast is in order!

sashh · 15/08/2020 07:40

Yum. A perfect combination. Thank you @sashh. That will set me up well for a day of cajoling DS whilst DH has his bike ride.

sashh · 16/08/2020 05:56

Morning all.

I think it's goiing to be fruit juice and toast today, Florence will, as always, have made a selection of pastries.

NoGravyForYou · 16/08/2020 06:41

Hope your friends figured out what happened in the end @sashh!

A pain au chocolate and a hot chocolate would be ideal right now 😊

How is everyone?

MinnieMountain · 16/08/2020 07:23

Morning!

I'll have my pain au chocolate with coffee please.

We're packing for our annual 2 week holiday to Pembrokeshire today Grin

sashh · 16/08/2020 07:27

@NoGravyForYou

They both have a blackout for a few hours, they won't let me apply for CCTV footage!

They only know they were in one pub because they paid by card.

sashh just cancer all clear. Still have to monitor it.

I was so over excited I went on a happy weekend bender and excitedly showed around an investment client which is the estate agents job. By the time she showed up I had gone around everything and he was completely sold. He said yes.

It's nice to hear good news from mog and gravy

sashh · 17/08/2020 07:06

Morning all.

Well it's grey and wet here, perfect porridge weather.

OP posts:
PinkDaydreams · 17/08/2020 07:37

@Frownette so happy for your greet news Smile

Hope everyone is well? @sashh it’s grey and rainy here too, a big bowl of porridge is perfect thank you! I like mine quite milky and with sugar, thank you! :)

MinnieMountain · 17/08/2020 08:36

That's great news @Frownette. It's horrible waiting for cancer test results.

The rain is holding off for now, but it's cooled down, so porridge is perfect.

We had a cracking thunderstorm yesterday afternoon.

sashh · 17/08/2020 09:38

@Frownette fab news, would you like champagne with your porridge?

Have a day off so had a lie in and it was bliss 🥰

@sashh oh goodness! I hope they had a good night despite everything they can't remember 😂

@Frownette that's amazing news!! You must be feeling so relieved x

sashh · 18/08/2020 05:06

Morning all.

Florence's German cousin is visiting so today we have a selection of German breads to go with boiled eggs and various hams and cheeses
