Ooh yes, definitely toasted cheese!

blackclouds · 30/07/2023 20:22

I've got tens actually but scared myself the other day moving it while it was switched on 😬😬. Then freaked myself when it made my shoulder twitch. I wish I was more mobile or had a more sympathetic DH to stick it on
Meanwhile is there still toast and smoothies? Lemon curd and a blueberry smoothie with all the vodka please
Haven't napped today and in bed propped up now and dreading bed time already - catch you all soon I'm sure. And thank you

Morning.

OK I'm a bit fed up with hopping round the globe so lets head for space.

Be careful comming in, the door has been changed into an air and gravity lock.

Most of the food is freeze dried and in packets so watch out for the packets floating around. There are some tinned tuna - eat from the tin please. Obviously there is tea, coffee, fruit juice and cocktails, but they are in sealed containers with a straw.

Fernando can't make cocktails in space so we have some pre mixed mojitos which you need to drink through a straw.

Florence has made brownies and cookies but please be careful with crums, they will just float around until a kittenbee eats it.

Ooh count me in! I'll need several of Fernando's mojitos to brave takeoff!

ScottBakula · 31/07/2023 04:29

Ooooh space food , is there any soup in a bag drank with a straw ?
And a bag of space raider crisp please .

@blackclouds it is hard to get the pads in the right position if no one will / can help . I use to put them on the bed and lie on them but it takes a fair bit of practice to get it right.

IncompleteSenten · 31/07/2023 04:40

Morning.
I made it through to 430. That's like a lie in till midday for me!

sashh · 31/07/2023 05:40

Welcome all, I hope you all enjoy floating around.

Floating sounds epic right now. I was up 4.15 but transferred to sofa and slept until 5.30. Not sure my pads are hooked up correctly on the tens but don't want to interfere with the space gizmos ....

sashh · 01/08/2023 01:44

Morning.

Well that was fun but we have to come down to earth so just a siple breakfast today. Florence is making Bagels, I have smolked salmon, cream cheese, butter, various preserves, cheeses and fresh fruit.

Fernando is making rum based cocktails.

Morning! A smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel is one of my most favourite things, thank you!

Are there any drops behind the counter for a randomly painful ear?

sashh · 01/08/2023 04:55

<opens the medicine cabinet, finds ear drops and hands them over> Smoked salmon and cream cheese is a clasic sin't it?

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 01/08/2023 05:55

Morning!
I’m a heathen who doesn’t like smoked salmon. May I have cream cheese and chives on my please?

sashh · 01/08/2023 06:57

Oh I almost forgot, I got a delivery of parking and pomfret cakes, happy Yorkshire day everyone.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 01/08/2023 07:01

Please can I have some Parking , I haven't had any for ages .

sashh · 01/08/2023 07:32

@ScottBakula of course you can, IRL I have not had any for ages.

OP posts:

Morning!
Parkin? Ginger cake? Served with butter. My dad used to make parkin - he doesn't bother cooking now. I'd love some parkin and a big cup of tea. Thanks!

Findyourneutralspace · 01/08/2023 08:56

Oh I can’t believe the one night I slept well you had parkin! It’s my favourite, from my homeland. Is there any left? I’ll stick matchsticks in my eyes if I need to…

sashh · 01/08/2023 11:25

LOL It's a good job I did extra parkin isn't it? I always assosiate it with bomfire night.

OP posts:
Findyourneutralspace · 01/08/2023 14:45

Me too! I might have to dig my gran’s recipe out and make some at home

Findyourneutralspace · 02/08/2023 02:34

Well Sassh, I’m very glad of that extra Parkin you made! I’m wondering if Fernando might be able to rustle me up a rum and ginger to go with it. I’m on the wagon at the moment but I’ll treat Fernando’s cocktails as I do all the delicious goodies on offer here - in the strictly doesn’t count category.

Is there anything I can do to help out? And babies need rocking, dogs need balls throwing for them, or maybe I’ll feed the bumble cats.

Britintheusa · 02/08/2023 03:42

@Findyourneutralspace aw thanks for the offer of help. I'm planning on coming over with a basket of laundry that needs folding. Can we do it together while we chat? As I'm coming all the way from New York I'm hoping Fernando can serve me a proper tea and scones with clotted cream and jam...

sashh · 02/08/2023 05:19

Morning.

Well lets see who is genuinely from God's own country.I have Yorkshire pudding made yesterday so to be eaten cold with golden syrup.

@Britintheusa I'll get Florence to make a batch of scones, there is always jam and cream around, just make sure the cream goes on first (I have relatives in cornwall) and there is always tea and cofffee.

Fernando is making liquorice cocktails but they are not to everyone's taste so put in requests if you want something else.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 02/08/2023 05:23

Are there any cheese scones? I’ll have that with a nice strong coffee please.
I’m feeling reckless, so I’m going to play with the bumble cats.

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 02/08/2023 05:56

Good morning all. My sleep pattern has been pretty good recently but I’m up early with a bout of acid reflux. I’m just going to take one of your lovely wing armchairs and doze upright until the antacid pill kicks in.

Blackcloids · 02/08/2023 05:58

Morning. Please may have a wedge of parkin and a brew? Getting used to my early mornings now but eyes like wee holes in the snow
