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.

@AlCalavicci no problem, I'm just fry up some plantain and make some porridge.

I've lived most of my life alone, I actually find it difficult to have too many people around, I talk to he cat and to people on here.

Morning all!
Ooooo porridge is perfect on this rather very blustery morning. Can I just have mine with sugar please, not too thick.
Hope all is well with everybody?

AlCalavicci · 25/08/2020 06:37

I have never tried plantain , what's it like ?

sashh · 25/08/2020 08:05

@AlCalavicci A bit like banana, but not as sweet.

@PinkDaydreams it's a cornmeal porridge, I hope that's OK.

@sashh that’s absolutely fine!

Plantain takes me back to being on holiday in Jamaica! I think I’ll have a pina coloda please so I can daydream that I’m on the glorious sunny beach rather than stuck indoors because of the storm!!

AlCalavicci · 25/08/2020 08:44

Hmm I am not keen on banana so I will give them a miss.
IRL I had marmite on toast for my early breakfast ( 4am ) and now I am on very thick yoghurt and frozen berry mix.

NoGravyForYou · 25/08/2020 10:47

Morning all!

I've also never had plantain so I'll give it a try.
We've got another storm here today, so nothing exciting will be happening!

sashh · 25/08/2020 11:30

Wow, I thought everybody would have at least had plantain once, I must look up some more Caribbean food, unless you fancy salt fish and akee for breakfast.

Morning all.

Well I'm hoping to go back to bed and get some sleep so Florence and I will set out a Smörgåsbord or bacon, sausages, toast etc, and I suppose that must include marmite for @AlCalavicci

AlCalavicci · 26/08/2020 05:13

Morning @sashh thank you for the marmite Smile
I think I will pair it with a Cumberland sausage on toast buttie .
I hope the cats and kitten bees are ok and have got a nice warm shelter it's been rotten weather here for the past few days

sashh · 26/08/2020 08:39

Morning all, again. I ,managed a couple of hours this morning to I'll make some fresh coffee and tea.

Hello!
Got my college results back from the module from during the break up, passed it and with a far far better grade than I was expecting so I'm delighted with myself 🙌🎉

I shall be opening up the bar and making some cocktails; starting with frozen strawberry daiquiris.
Will take request!

PinkDaydreams · 26/08/2020 21:14

@NoGravyForYou so happy for you, what fantastic news!! Well done!!! 🍾

NoGravyForYou · 26/08/2020 21:29

Thank you @PinkDaydreams! What can I get you from the bar?

Frownette · 26/08/2020 21:46

Well done @NoGravyForYou!

See, things keep getting better now you're rid of the knobhead.

Strawberry daiquiri sounds lush, nice and cold.

PinkDaydreams · 26/08/2020 21:47

Can I have a caipiroska please?!
Won’t be long till I’m asleep in rl, I can feel my eyelids getting heavy!

Frownette · 26/08/2020 21:53

Caipiroska...? (Off to google).

I do quite fancy a daiquiri now but although I'm in a city I don't feel like running around getting ingredients.Tomorrow perhaps. So white rum, lime, sugar, ice.

Frownette · 26/08/2020 21:57

@PinkDaydreams

Ah ok so it's lime, vodka, sugar, crushed ice?
PinkDaydreams · 26/08/2020 21:58

There’s also caipirinha which is similar and also very tasty! I drank lots of both on a holiday to Mexico, there was a specific barman that would make them absolutely delicious!

NoGravyForYou · 26/08/2020 22:22

I decided to hire a barman who is easy on the eyes for special occasions, everyone meet.... Fernando! He can make any cocktail under the sun!

@Frownette thanks so much! Yes life does very much seem to on the up since the breakup. It's true when people say you glow differently when you're actually happy!

mogloveseggs · 27/08/2020 03:52

Morning I can't sleep
Hope it's ok that I popped the kettle on sassh

mogloveseggs · 27/08/2020 03:55

nogravy well done on the results!

Frownette · 27/08/2020 04:14

Oh my gosh this has been busy. I was tried to make to kiss last night but said no and went back to bed straight to sleep. 0

Breakfast: I think I'm going to walk into city centre and have a coffee, mcmuffin and hash brown.

AlCalavicci · 27/08/2020 05:11

Morning all
Well done @NoGravyForYou you must be do chuffed.
I am getting fed up of the long work days I am having to do so I need a hearty breakfast, what's on offer?
