Morning.

Just setting this up before the old one fills up.

For anyone new, this is a cafe where you can come, eat (calorie free) drink and be merry.

There are kittenbees in the café, which are kittens the size of bees, they are friendly but do nibble the pastries.

Outside are their larger 'cousins' the Bumblecats, they are not as friendly.

Leo is a Lemur who now runs the outdoor dog wash.

Florence is a French pastry chef, Fernando is a cocktail waiter.

Outside is a water feature and a petting zoo.

Morning. I think a simpler breakfast is in order this morning. Yoghurt, fruit, fruit juice, nuts and obviously coffee and tea.

Florence is making churros and Fernando is making bucks fizz.

Morning.

I had a really bad night so I'm just going to have a hot chocolate outside and a snooze.

Florence is making croissants and Fernando is teaching Leo how to use the cocktail shaker.

Sorry you had a bad night @sashh hope you had a nice snooze.
Mmmm to beans and cheese on toast. Yum!

sashh · 17/08/2024 07:37

Morning. Another bad night.

Florence is making bagels, there is cream cheese, smoked salmon, dill and cucumber I think you can work out what to do.

Fernando is making shandy.

Good evening @sashh , sorry you are having rotten nights sleep , I hope tonight is better.

I am just about to start making some shortbread , I will leave you a couple of pieces just incase you do wake up and are hungry

sashh · 18/08/2024 05:10

Shortbread? Lovely start to the day.

I think today we should have a full fry up, bacon (smoked and unsmoked) eggs any way you prefer, hash browns, bubble and squeak, fried bread, baked beans, sausages and obviously toast and marmalade to follow.

Florence is making quiches for bait and Fernando is making fruit juice cocktails.

Good morning- I was woken at 4am by my neighbour sitting in his car for 20 minutes with the engine running. He does this most mornings. Fucker.
The night before I only got three hours sleep.

I am at the 'can't function' stage....

sashh · 19/08/2024 05:17

Morning.

@ColinRobinsonsFart I hope you have had some sleep since. Have you considered a potato in the exhaust? Maybe Leo could come up with something to 'help'.

Potato. I think we can do that this morning. Bubble and squeak, bacon and eggs.

Florence can make some soft morning rolls to go on the side and I think cider from Fernando.

OP posts:
Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket · 19/08/2024 10:42

Ah, hi all. I was up all night for no reason. Potatoes sound like an excellent idea. I'd like a bit of bubble and squeak the size of my head please, and a massive pot of tea. I'll be out in the garden if anyone wants to join.

sashh · 19/08/2024 11:26

I'll put some more bubble and squeak on.

Last night was even worse. I got two hours of sleep. I feel like I did nearly 40 yrs ago with a newborn!

I am now in the bath and am going to take a Nytol when I get out.

Fingers crossed

sashh · 20/08/2024 02:00

@ColinRobinsonsFart A bath sounds like a good idea, I'd probably add a glass of wine, to me, not the bath but probably not a good idea with Nytol.

I think, you need a good breakfast so porridge, burgoo and any other type of porridge. There is a selection of fruit to add to it and I'll make extra strong coffee.

Florence is making coffee cakes and Fernando is making cocktails with coke with added caffeine.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 20/08/2024 05:34

Ooh I smell coffee , can I have a bucket full please.
Can I have a bowl of porridge too , I have got a jar of ginger syrup that goes well on porridge, help yourself .

sashh · 20/08/2024 05:42

One bucket of coffee on its way.

OP posts:

Thankyou 😋

sashh · 21/08/2024 03:57

Morning.

Well Leo is trying to wash the swimming pool so I'm just going to leave him to it.

I'm in the mood for cheese so I'll lay out a selection of cheeses but obviously it can be put on bread or toasted, I'll put the raclette out and a selection of hams to so if you want a ham and cheese toastie there are toastie bags.

Florence is making madeleines for anyone wanting something sweet and Fernando is serving a selection of Belgian fruit beers.
