The happy Place Café is still open

[sashh]

Morning, just starting a new thread for when the last one fills up.

Gah 😩

I hope you manage to get some more sleep @Tilllly .

It's dark and cold but dry here so I have added a couple of them fancy clay outdoor fire / heater thingys to our garden. Some of the braver bumble cats curled up under it straight away. The others are watching from a safe but warm distance.

I have made a pan of porridge and will leave it next to the one fires to keep it warm.
I have also made ginger toddies, ginger , cinnamon, muscovado sugar. That is sat on the other fire to keep warm.
Fernando will add any alcohol to them that you fancy.

Irl , I am off to work very soon and I am jealous of all of you still snuggled up in bed

I shall try porridge 🥣 with cinnamon
Wrap up in a blanket by the fire, and wait for entertainment

Morning.

Thank you for keeping things going.

We had a nice few days. I still wasn't well enough to go out but I am certainly on the mend.

I'm going to make hot chocolate and grab a seat by the fire pit, Florence is making apple turnovers and Fernando a sort of baileys but warm.

Apple turnover sounds lush

Can I have it warm with ice cream?

Morning.

Still recovering so Florence is making various pastries and Fernando is handing out whisky.

I'm sitting in the corner with a hot toddy.

@Tilllly you can indeed, Florence will bring it over.

It's good to see you are slowly getting better @sashh.
Those night shifts are killing me , I can't find my rhythm at all this time so I am going to sneek into the cafe and grab a coffee and Danish.

Morning.

Well I have left overs from my dad's IRL visit. So bruschetta, pate and serrano ham are on the buffet.

Florence is making fresh baguettes and Fernando is making something involving left over sweets and vodka.

@ScottBakula I'll send Florence over with a baguette and cheese.

I'm hoovering up that buffet

@Tilllly My dad takes medication that reduces his appetite so I have to do really small portions if I'm serving three courses so there are always leftovers.

Oh bless him

I'm on various meds, everyone says "may cause weight gain"
Never had meds that say may cause weight loss!!

Morning.

I'm going to sit in the corner and steam my sinuses.

Florence is making toast, just ask for beans, cheese, eggs, baco or jam, fernando is making marmalade cocktails.

Cheesy beans on toast with bacon on top sounds good! Currently staring out at the storm. If inland is getting it this bad, god knows how bad it is on the coast

Sensible plan @Mummaluma

I'm laying in bed cursing the cafe that definitely did not give me decaf this afternoon, and listening to the storm

@Tilllly I hope you got some sleep.

3 hours 🥱

I love the smell of Vick vapour rub , I hope your sinuses are clearing now @sashh .

I don't know what's wrong with me but I keep feeling dizzy , particularly when I stretch upwards ( odd huh )

@Tilllly I hope uou get a better night's sleep tonight..

I am back on days soon so my body clock will be up the spout for a bit.

I have got a load of garlic so I will leave it in the kitchen for Florence to use in breads and perhaps fresh pasta.

I dont think it's a good idea to give any to Fernando 🤢

Morning.

Garlic? How about garlic bread and garlic mushrooms? I'll get Florence on to that one.

To go with it I think some serrano ham and goats cheese. Fernando can do wonders with most things so an alcoholic lassi should be no problem.

I'll make some pack up of the garlic bread with ham and cheese for those on shift work.

7 glorious hours

Drool 🤤

Morning.

Still on the mend but not great today so make bagels, I'll put out a selection of toppings / fillings and Fernandos can do something soothing with whisky and lemon.

Temporarily changes user name to alter ego so I can go back in time to get the garlic bread , mushrooms and serrano ham .

Oh Boy
Tries again to change name so I can leap !

Success !
Leaps back to enjoy garlicky food in comfort.
