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.

Two rounds of hot butted toast coming up.
I will leave all the jams , Marmalade nut butters out so you can help yourself.

I know a few people that have b12 deficiency, the injections have worked really well for some but not all as its not always the lack of it but the bodies inefficiency to be able to absorb/ process it.
I hope you fall into the 1st category.

>>> opens the cafe door and clears a escape path <<<<
Yells , MARMITE has lots of B12 in it >>runs<<<

Morning.

Happy new year.

I think we can just eat leftovers from various new year parties so mini quiche, ham, cheese squares on cocktail sticks, crisps, dips and dunks.

F and F are sleeping in so you will have to get your own drinks and pastries. Leo is very keen you have some eggs with the party food.

Happy New year.

I will nibble on the leftovers throughout the day.
I'm in work until late afternoon so I'll be hungry later.
I'd better stay off the booze tho.

MinnieMountain · 01/01/2025 11:23

Happy New Year!

I could do with making myself a bacon sandwich. Does anyone else want one?

After that I’m going to doze by the fire and nibble on the leftovers.

I start my new job tomorrow. Whoop!

ScottBakula · 01/01/2025 20:35

Can I have a bacon buttie please @MinnieMountain , with a bit of HP sauce.

Good look with the new job , I know the 1st few days can be exhausting but I am sure you will be fireing on all cylinders by the end of next week.

sashh · 02/01/2025 04:14

Morning.

Good luck with the job @MinnieMountain You must have a nice pack up so smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel, a couple of macarons and some cheese straws.

Now to breakfast. Well Leo is progressing with his egg cooking so eggs benedict all round.

Florence is making a range of Danish pastries and Fernando is making some refreshing detox mocktails. He will add a drop of booze on request.

Here you go @ScottBakula .

Thank you for the packed lunch @sashh . Can you leave out the smoked salmon though? I can’t stand the stuff.

sashh · 02/01/2025 09:47

@MinnieMountain not a problem. How about a few chives?

Well it looks like we are forecast snow so we need something warming, porridge with various toppings, churros from Florence and het chocolate from Fernando.

Leo is continuing his knitting.

Morning. Not too good today so Leo is in charge, I'm curling up in the corner with a hot chocolate.

ScottBakula · 04/01/2025 13:21

Sorry your not feeling to good today @sashh I will bring you over some hot chocolate, toast and a shot of brandy.

It's cold and dull again today so I think porridge with any topping you fancy and a selection of fresh summery fruit to get all our vitamins .

ScottBakula · 04/01/2025 13:28

Happy New Year everyone ❤️

PoopingAllTheWay · 04/01/2025 17:47

Had very slight flurries this morning but we are only expected sleet tonight

I love Snow so i am a little disappointed

Im seriously considering keeping my tree up all winter
I love twinkly lights

ScottBakula · 04/01/2025 19:20

@PoopingAllTheWay , there was no snow here today but some sleet yesterday, and bloody cold !

I don't think you can keep your tree up sll year but like uou I love the lights so I have mine wrapped around my coat stand and on top of my kitchen cupboards.

Could you do something similar on a book case , round a door or window frame

The happy Place Café is still open as is @Tillly's dog wash.
PoopingAllTheWay · 04/01/2025 19:42

But the tree also makes me happy 🎄

You are ofcourse right though, sadly
I guess i could find somewhere to put lights

ScottBakula · 04/01/2025 21:49

Well you could keep the tree up but what happens next year , a bigger tree , another tree ? after a few years you won't be able to get in your house 😂

sashh · 05/01/2025 07:36

Morning.

Well I woke up to snow. But I was awake in the night so I know it snowed in the evening and then rained so I think under the snow will be a sheet of ice.

I am not going out today.

Full English all round I feel followed by crumpets from Florence and mulled wine from Fernando.

Hope you stayed indoors in the warm

It snowed pretty heavy in the end,
but i enjoyed my 2am walk out in crunchy snow before it was ruined

The snow was all washed away by lunch

sashh · 06/01/2025 02:47

Morning. Snow has been replaced by rain so I may be staying in again.

I know this is an early start so I'll put a pot of home made baked beans and sausages to keep warm and you can help yourselves.

Florence is making cheese turnovers, Fernando has a selection of single malt whisky and Leo is currently asleep so wake him up if you want eggs.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 06/01/2025 14:45

We have had a combination of snow sleet and rain here , some of the roads have had black ice on them , walking and driving is scary !

Sausage and beans sounds good , I'll make some toast to go with it .

That's the first time I have seen Leo keep still for more than 2 minutes.
He looks cute and innocent ( ha ha yeah right)

sashh · 07/01/2025 07:40

Morning.

@ScottBakula yes I didn't head out at all. It's rained overnight so just cold and wet now.

Breakfast I think needs to be warming, so Falkland islanders probably know something about breakfasts on cold days so lets have mutton chops, sausage and mushrooms. Obviously Leo is going to make eggs to go on the side, tea and coffee and bread with diddle dee jam.

Florence is making smoko cake and Fernando is serving Falklands island gin.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 07/01/2025 22:08

Evening all, it's cold and wet here again so I am happy to trust a Falkland breakfast. But can you hold the mutton choose I'm not keen on them.

I am absolutely full of a flaming cold that I can not shake , I am living on soup , honey, lemon and beecheems.
It's also making my fairly mild asthma a whole lot worse .
