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.

@MinnieMountain the left overs are in the fridge, are you OK if I stick them in the microwave?

OP posts:
MinnieMountain · 28/05/2024 07:47

Yes please @sashh . I can’t have eggs for breakfast in reality (mild allergy), so I’ll fill my boots in the cafe.

sashh · 29/05/2024 03:47

Morning.

Well it is cold and dark at the moment so I think hot chocolate with marshmallows all round.

Porridge, bergoo and congee are all on the hob so help yourselves. Florence is making cheesy bakes and Fernando is making coffee with a drop of brandy.

Morning all, I think the weather is broken, this past few days we have had really heavy rain and sunshine at the same time , well that just isn't right is it ?
It's overcast and trying to rain again here , I guess the ducks are happy but Leo is looking a bit damp.
How did his milking and baking go ?

@sashh a hot chocolate and porridge with a bit of apple would be very nice .

sashh · 29/05/2024 09:44

Best not to ask about Leo's baking. The milking was better but he drank all he milked.

Morning.

Well this morning lets head to the Caribbean for salt fish fritters with johnny cakes on the side.

Florence is making roti and of course Fernando is making rum punch.

Leo is wanting to wash the kittenbees, I'm not so sure but they do get covered in sugar on a regular basis.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 31/05/2024 00:23

Ahh so that's why there are tiny white hand prints everywhere, I wish he'd left some milk I have nearly run out.
If he washs the kitten bees will they and up all floofy ( or more floofy anyway )

Can I have a couple of roti and a large rum punch.
I am away at the moment and have just got back yo the hotel , I am buggered and only have a pot noodles bag of crisps and 1 tin of cider

sashh · 31/05/2024 06:35

Morning.

Well there are some rather wet kittenbees walking around, they are too wet to fly so please be careful.

Well it is bright and warm here so I'll get the BBQ out for sausages and bacon with some potatoes in the coals.

Florence is making lemon cakes and Fernando has some Belgium fruit beers.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 01/06/2024 00:52

Umm Leo seems to be trying to get the kitten bees to style there fur into Mohicans , of he tries that with the bumble cats he will get hurt !

Please can I have a bbq'ed sausage buttie .
I am not keen on fruit beers so I think I will have a cider please.

sashh · 01/06/2024 07:26

Morning.

A bit of a late start so I'm doing breakfast from my childhood.

Yorkshire puddings with golden syrup.

Florence is making soda bread and Fernando is making mimosas.

OP posts:
sashh · 02/06/2024 02:05

Morning.

I'm just going to check on Leo and see how far his 'dog' washing has gone.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 03/06/2024 21:42

Evening all ,
I like Yorkshire with jam on , if there is any left please can I have a couple.
Breakfast from my childhood wheatabix with diced cucumber . I was a odd kid !

If Leo runs out of dogs and goats to wash he can wash the ducks as long as he doesn't use and soap

ScottBakula · 03/06/2024 21:45

Lol don't put jam on Yorkshire, just Yorkshire puddings !
I think it's about time I had a dolphin of clotted cream too on them 😂

sashh · 04/06/2024 04:26

Morning,

I can redo the Yorkshires so they are hot. I'll do that. Florence is making johnny cakes and Fernando is making rum punch to go with them.

I am up early today. I just watched a beautiful sunrise with rays coming out from under a line of cloud. I’ve been remembering the days when my chickens woke me up at dawn with a triumphant clucking to announce fresh eggs. Let’s have an eggy breakfast today!

sashh · 05/06/2024 04:19

Eggy breakfast? Not a problem.

Duck chicken and quail.

Put in your order for fried, poached, scrambled, coddled, convent and of course boiled.

Florence is making toast soldiers and soft white rolls for any butties Fernando is making eggnog.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 05/06/2024 23:39

I hate this shift work , I keep missing nice breakfasts.

@sashh please can i have a duck egg omelette with mushrooms and cheese.
I can eat it cold next time I am on a break

WildImaginings · 06/06/2024 00:03

I also missed breakfast but I'd like to mirror @sashh order if possible.

I will have it for a midnight snack, coupled with eggnog, which will hopefully send me to sleep (much needed).

sashh · 06/06/2024 04:27

Morning.

@ScottBakula and @WildImaginings You are always welcome to make something yourself or ask Florence to make something.

I had a rather exciting Nedsperdition yesterday. I now have a pass that says I can get Ned on and off a bus so I took the bus home from the bus station.

We (me and carer) then took a trip tot he pub so today I am knackered.

Florence is making croissants, Fernando is serving bucks fizz I taking Leo to check out the water feature and then I'm going to snooze under a blanket in the garden.

Feel free to make or order any food, just be carful with the kittenbees if you make something sweet.

OP posts:
WildImaginings · 06/06/2024 10:46

I will pop to see Florence and Fernando for a croissant and Buck's Fizz, just what I need.

ScottBakula · 06/06/2024 20:54

Evening all ,

I have made a couple of omelettes, help yourselves.

I am goings into work very soon so i will take a couple of croissant with me .

Ooh a bus ride eh
I hope you always get friendy and cooperative bus drivers . I use buses a lot and 85% of the drivers are great but there are a few that are real arses .
Where is your next trip going to be to ?

sashh · 07/06/2024 01:22

Morning.

Well yesterday I got a call to have another test, this time to take Ned on the Ring and Ride bus - exciting, because they use a lift.

Not sure of my next trip, it might be just back to the bustation for a bit of practice.

OK breakfast. Crispy bacon in a fresh tomato sauce with Florence's crusty bread to dip in.

Yoghurt with fruit and / or nuts if you don't want the bacon. Fernando is making milkshakes with a bit of a kick.

OP posts:
Lavenderfowl · 07/06/2024 01:42

Not sure if I'm up late or early today, and if someone could please explain more about the kittenbees that would be great.

Yoghurt with fruit (and granola?) sounds good, the bacon does too but I'm trying to stay off the bread, especially if it's crusty and you can't stop eating it...

Nearly the weekend and I'm sprucing the house ready to try and sell it, so not much R&R in prospect but never mind. At least me and the boy will have time for snuggles.

sashh · 07/06/2024 03:13

Welcome @Lavenderfowl

Kittenbees are kittens, the size of bees with wings. My carer and I had a drunken conversation once where we decided this would be the cutest animal ever.

Outside are their slightly larger and much more feisty bumblecats.

OP posts:
sashh · 08/06/2024 03:45

Morning.

I think this morning I will just do a nasi goreng breakfast. If that's not for you Florence is making croissants and Fernando has orange juice based cocktails.

Leo is running out of animals to wash so don't go near him unless you have a muddy dog or you don't mind Leo scrubbing you.

I'm debating whether to open the swimming pool, it's not that warm but it can be heated.
