Should I reopen the happy place cafe?

I'm often awake in the night, today was a lie in for me, only properly awake since 4am.

In lockdown I opened, 'the happy place café where I would make virtual breakfasts and people would come to chat.

When it was last opened my French pastry chef Florence had married Fernando the cocktail waiter.

The kitten bees are inside because it is too old but the bumble cats are in the garden as usual.

SO should I reopen or was just something for lockdown?

I had Dominoes pizza yesterday evening so just some berries, yoghurt and a herbal tea for me please.

I've been feeling a little down lately so I'll eat outside in the hope that it will cheer me up.

I will leave you to the kippers!

But will go for a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel if its fish on the menu!

sashh · 25/02/2023 03:44

I see the fish is popular, I'll keep that on the menu for today.

Florence has made croissants and pain au chocolate and Fernando is making herbal tea.

What is everyone up to today?

I've just walked in through the garden and noticed all of the spring bulbs popping up. They're beautiful :) could I have a fruit smoothie and smoked salmon on whole grain toast please? I'm going to get cosy by the window.

Can I test the kitten bees’ pain au chocolate delivery skills please? I’m going to cuddle up outside with my usual coffee.

I’m going to Birmingham to watch Swan Lake today.

sashh · 25/02/2023 06:21

@MinnieMountain I'll give it a go, but don't be surprised if it arrives nibbled.

Where are you going to see Swan Lake? I didn't know it was on.

MinnieMountain · 25/02/2023 06:34

I can’t begrudge the nibbles when they’re that cute.

I love kippers but by heck they repeat on me. 🤢

I am going to some peppermint tea and try not to breathe on anyone today .

Black sabbath ballet?? That's different!

sashh · 25/02/2023 07:06

@ScottBakula Yes, unfortunately it is sold out.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 25/02/2023 09:37

I honestly can't imagine how BS and ballet could be combined.

That said a few years ago a work mate went to Rocking Red Hood that was put on by a local group and apparently it was great

sashh · 25/02/2023 10:33

@ScottBakula I'd love to find out.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 25/02/2023 11:15

If it is sold out this far in advance hopfully they will add dates / venues . You will have to keep your 👀 peeled

ScottBakula · 26/02/2023 01:18

Good morning, is there anyone about ?

sashh · 26/02/2023 02:07

Morning.

@ScottBakula I hope you got yourself a coffee?

I thought we would have bagels today, with cream cheese and salmon of course but you can pick your fillings and I'll toast some too.

HobnobbingAboutHobnobs · 26/02/2023 05:23

I have missed the cafe! And now I have a while new little one to hand over! Apparently, tonight "sleep is for wimps". Cup of tea and a bagel please sassh.

sashh · 26/02/2023 05:49

Pass that baby over here, would yo like the bagel toasted?

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 26/02/2023 06:05

Good morning.

A cream cheese bagel and coffee please.

Your baby is very sweet @HobnobbingAboutHobnobs . I’m happy to have a cuddle if @sashh gets tired.

I wish I’d booked the Black Sabbath ballet when I got the email.

sashh · 26/02/2023 06:09

Here have a baby to cuddle, I'll get the bagels.
