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 @sashh
Can I have a cheese and Branson toastie please

AlCalavicci · 31/08/2020 08:16

Ps should we ask what F & F are going to get up to on their day off Wink ?

nosswith · 31/08/2020 08:44

How are the cats this morning?

sashh · 31/08/2020 08:51

@AlCalavicci one toastie and I'm thinking it's best not to ask about F and F.

@nosswith have a look, the catnip bush is as popular as ever.

AlCalavicci · 31/08/2020 09:06

@sashhThank you, that cheese is really nice .

Hmm F F and f ( < small f ) do you think ?

sashh · 31/08/2020 09:10

@AlCalavicci I'm not sure I could cope with that, maybe you should write that story line, I'll stick with breakfast.

AlCalavicci · 31/08/2020 09:15

Ha ha there is no way I could cope with that line either ( having no DCs won't help )
Lets just hope she does not start suffering with morning sickness

Good morning everyone

Can I have a cheese and tomato toastie please @sashh?

sashh · 31/08/2020 09:34

@MinnieMountain of course you can.

How was the holiday?

MinnieMountain · 31/08/2020 15:18

Thank you @sashh.

We're still there and it's glorious.

sashh · 01/09/2020 07:35

Morning all.

Well to in keeping with @MinnieMountaini's holiday vibe I thought waffles and icecream for breakfast. Florence is on Waffles duty and Fernando is making iced cocktails.

I'm not sure whether to start with a lemonade float or a dame blanche.

Frownette · 01/09/2020 07:37

Oh no I missed out on toasties yesterday! I would have had cheese and mushroom.

NoGravyForYou · 01/09/2020 08:06

Morning everyone!
Waffles for me please. In real life I was hungover on Sunday and ordered a pizza and I'm still bloated from it today so eating melon as it's nice and light.

How is everyone? All the kids back to school?

Frownette · 01/09/2020 08:18

The supermarket had shut early IRL yesterday (must have been 8pm instead of 10pm) so I got scampi, chips and mushy peas, leftovers are breakfast Blush

MinnieMountain · 01/09/2020 08:29

Good morning

I'm not much of a waffle expert- do they work with apple and chocolate?

DS goes back to school on Monday. Are yours back @NoGravyForYou?

sashh · 01/09/2020 08:50

Waffles go with everything, they are like pancakes in that way.

@MinnieMountain I am child free thank goodness. Can't imagine having to deal with Knobhead and kids 🙈 I am a childminder though, one of the kids is back since last week and the other is back for two days this and then not back for another week! I'm not in the UK though.

@sashh Jamie Oliver has a fab waffle recipe that has orange zest in it. They're fab with some
Vanilla ice cream.

Morning

Might make it for dinner!
How is everyone?

NoGravyForYou · 01/09/2020 09:59

That sounds amazing @mogloveseggs!!

I'm good thanks, glad to be finally back into a routine after 6 months of chaos 😂

How are you?

AlCalavicci · 01/09/2020 14:47

Afternoon all , my shifts have changed so I will be missing for breakfast for a bit.
But if there are any left over waffles I would like one or four

Frownette · 01/09/2020 14:54

Oh I usually eat later so plenty for you.

What are news updates on people, anyway?

sashh · 01/09/2020 14:56

@AlCalavicci I'll put something aside for you, don't worry.

OP posts:
AlCalavicci · 01/09/2020 19:18

Thanks @sashh & @Frownette
Swaping shifts will bugger up my routine but I am going from early to lates , 5am - 4 pm to 12 - 8pm which isn't to bad , I hate doing it the other way round finishing at 8pm and staring at 5am is a bugger as I have a hr travling each way .

How are the kitten bees doing , o havnt had a chance to see them for a while.

sashh · 02/09/2020 06:28

OK so we have people on holiday, changing shifts etc so I'll set Florence on all day breakfasts and I'll do some 'breakfast in a bag' of a bagel with smoked salmon and cream cheese, fruit juice, fruit and a yoghurt.

Fernando can make cocktails to go, but if you are working get a mocktail.

@AlCalavicci I'll leave a kitten bee carrier next to your breakfast bag (with the door open so they can explore), it has little beds in a food so you can close the door and take a couple to work. It's probably best to not let them out at your work but they will be fine, I'll pop some toys in.
