👀 light up at the promise of Turkish coffee .
I gave no idea what corn porridge and cheese will be like but I trust @sashh 's food to always be good so I will give it a go.

Can anyone explain why my robot vac has just sprung into life at 1.15am ?
It's only meant to run once a day at 11am

>>> ponders if robot vacs get restless or the Zoomies <<<

Robot vac knows you are awake so is keeping you company.

I had quite a big dinner but I'm awake so maybe just a milkshake for now and a sit in that comfy beanbag! (I presume the Happy Place Cafe makes them easy to get back out of!!!)

sashh · 02/07/2023 03:17

@alienslove of course they are easy to get out of.

Ooh, corn porridge sounds interesting. Might give the Turkish coffee a miss though, I've tried that before and hoo boy is it strong, and I definitely won't get any more sleep if I have that.

Corn porridge and orange juice?

sashh · 02/07/2023 03:56

@Octavia64 one corn porridge and OJ.

Morning all, I'll take a Ukrainian breakfast platter please, always keen to try new things!

Is it hot in here or is it just me? I'll find a spot near an open door to catch some breeze. Any animals about that need some love/attention?

StopStartStop · 02/07/2023 04:18

Ooh, hello! I like the look of this thread. Hmm...

Could I start with buttered toast, please? And a nice cup of tea.

sashh · 02/07/2023 05:18

Welcome @NoTeaNoShade.

@StopStartStop Just toast? OK if you are sure. Do you want marmalade too?

Morning all

Turkish coffee and paska for me please. I could do with a strong one as we’re hosting a big barbecue. Maybe I’ll just hide here.

There’s a fountain and a pool if you’re hot @NoTeaNoShade .

sashh · 02/07/2023 06:31

@NoTeaNoShade Sorry I didn't see you were hot, if you like Fernando can open the ice bar.

Good morning. I've just had a no-sleep night, my second one in three weeks. I gave up once it got properly bright at about 5am and just got up. I'm just going to sit here, grumpily nursing my coffee (black, no sugar obviously Grin). DH and the teen DC left yesterday to go to the US for 12 days, which might be the reason that I didn't sleep. Fortunately there's nothing planned for today, although I was hoping to get a lot of sewing done while they're away, but that can wait until tomorrow.

sashh · 02/07/2023 06:54

Hands @BlackAmericanoNoSugar a large pot of coffee.

OP posts:
BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 02/07/2023 06:58

I might have a shower and then go to the supermarket before I get any tireder. It'll be nice and quiet, I hate shopping in a busy supermarket. I'll just have a large cup of your delicious coffee first @sashh, made from freshly ground Monsoon Malabar beans, my favourite.

NoTeaNoShade · 02/07/2023 11:17

Ice bar, fountain & pool, sounds like a winner! If you need me, I'll be wallowing like a hippo

StopStartStop · 02/07/2023 12:23

sashh · 02/07/2023 05:18

Welcome @NoTeaNoShade.

@StopStartStop Just toast? OK if you are sure. Do you want marmalade too?

Ooh, I didn't think of marmalade! Tasty!

sashh · 03/07/2023 00:53

Morning.

@StopStartStop well as you had not considered marmalade that settles it for today.

Toast, white, brown, bagels, crumpets and potato cakes with a selection of jams, marmalade, conserve, Bovril, Nutella and marmite.

OP posts:
alienslove · 03/07/2023 02:39

Ooo some warm crumpets with butter and strawberry jam please! Thank you

sashh · 03/07/2023 05:24

Crumpets on there way.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 03/07/2023 06:23

Could I have one crumpet with marmite and one with raspberry jam please? I can never decide which I prefer.
I’ve brought my cat since she’s in a cuddly mood today.

sashh · 03/07/2023 08:13

Of course @MinnieMountain crumpets seem popular today.

OP posts:
sashh · 04/07/2023 03:48

Morning.

A bit of a late start for me today so I'm making pancakes, Florence, of course disapproves and is making ultra thing crepes. There is a range of fillings, savory and sweet.

Fernando has been making home brew and it is ready, so have a pint of Fernando beer or a tea / coffee.

OP posts:
fivetriangulartrees · 04/07/2023 04:24

Aha, here you all are. Pancakes is just what I fancy this morning. The thick ones with lots of maple syrup please. Once I've washed them down with a pot of tea, I might see if I can fit in one of Florence's crepes too. Why not?

My cat is cross with me today because we're starting some building work she wasn't consulted on. Could you perhaps rustle up some roast turkey for her, to cheer her up? She usually only gets that at Christmas.

sashh · 04/07/2023 04:35

Roast turkey is not a problem, I also have ham (very small amounts, I know it's not good for their kidneys) cat milk and there is a cat mint bush in the garden.

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 04/07/2023 06:51

Could I have a crepe with apple and cinnamon please? And any chance of a galette with mushrooms and cheese for lunch? I’ve had a restless night.
