The cafe is still open thread 2

[sashh]

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.

Thank you @AlCalavicci. Perfect for the afternoon slump.

The kitten bees sound so sweet. I love this place.

Ooh thanks @AlCalavicci @sashh

Morning everyone
@sashh do you mind if I have a route round the fridge, I fancy some kippers this morning, I have put the kettle on and get the cats some of yesterday's left over kedgree.
Anyone want anything while i am here ?

Morning @AlCalavicci! Could I have a big coffee please? A guy who messed me around on OLD resurfaced last night full of apologies. Triggered my anxiety for some reason and I found myself still awake straightening my hair at 3:30am this morning 🙈

Would anyone like some chocolate brownies? I'm feeling like some warm chocolatey goodness would help. I shall whip up a batch under Florence's guidance.

Morning all.

@AlCalavicci help yourself, I was going to suggest breakfast sandwiches but kippers are good too.

Morning ooh yes please to a brownie or 3

Brownies are here, still warm from the oven. There's some ice cream and cream on the counter as well.

I'll be in the garden looking at the kitten bees.

Yum thanks!
I'll join you in the garden as long as it's not windy like it is here

Morning all!

Would anyone like coffee and Welsh cakes?

We're off on holiday to the seaside this morning

Morning all.

I have not had welsh cakes for years, so yes please. Can you leave your recipe for Florence?

I hope you enjoy your trip tot he seaside, have a fab holiday and please bring us all some virtual rock

I use this www.visitwales.com/things-do/food-drink/welsh-food/traditional-welsh-cakes-recipe

@sashh but add milk instead of an extra egg if it's too thick.

Morning!

What's a Welsh cake??

How is everyone?

What's a welsh cake? Seriously, they are fab.

Sort of like a scone but soft and cooked on a griddle pan / baking stone or a special pan that's a sort of flat metal plate with a sort of hoop for a handle.

Oh I love a welsh cake thanks @MinnieMountain
How is everyone?

Morning all.

Well as it was welsh cakes yesterday I thought Scotch pancakes today, then I thought well why not all different pancakes. Sweet or savory, filled or rolled, is there abetter war to start the day?

Morning! Pancakes are my favourite 😍

Can I please have American style pancakes with fruit and a blueberry and lemon compote.

How is everyone?

Morning all.

SHall we have curry? Well an Indian breakfast so fruit, puris, chapatis with salted yoghurt?

I'd love spiced potato filling in bread, can't remember the name of the bread used for that?

Gravy what was his excuse?

Morning all!
Ooo breakfast sounds rather refreshing this morning, just what I need :)

Morning alll,

@Frownette his excuse was that an ex he had ended with on good terms had got in contact with him looking if they could try again. I'm inclined to believe him and he did tell me at the time that the ex had popped up and then proceeded to ignore me for days. I have accepted his apologies and am chatting to him but at arms length and he's aware of that and is trying very hard. I'll see, not overly fussed either way.
How was everyone's weekend?

Actually I felt a bit lonely last night! I'd normally call round on a friend but he seems under the weather so I didn't, I let him rest.

You sound to be dealing with him / the situation perfectly.

Oooh aloo paratha, gorgeous thank you

I'm still having moments like that @Frownette, it's difficult to deal with loneliness. Being totally honest, I think that's why I'm carrying on with the online dating. It fills the lonely moments, not sure I'm really actually invested in it.

Morning all ,
@Frownette
Lonlyness is a bugger , I have lived alone for 3 years now and while i enjoy it most of the time I miss having some one to talk to esp in the evenings.

I fancy stuff on toast for breakfast so I will fire the grill up if you don't mind @sashh
Anyone want some ? Cheese , beans , fried mushrooms , poched eggs anything else ?
