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.

Oh, I'd love a few laps in the pool. Bracing, but it will make me hungry!
Can I have an orange juice?

sashh · 08/06/2024 09:20

@Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket OJ on its way.

On the subject of pools, I found out today that there was one in Holloway!

Morning.

Who knew Lemurs can swim? Anyway Leo is having a day off, lets just say Bumblecats don't want to learn to swim but Leo disagreed.

So on to breakfast. I think I'm going to make a general northern European Breakfast so bread / toast, cheese ham, eggs in various forms, salami and some pickles.

Florence is making Danish pastries and Fernando has a range of beers to try.

Good morning all, cheese toasty please @sashh ,
I am back on sort of normal shifts but it's going to take me a while to get back in the rhythm of things.

Leo seems to trying to fashion water wings for an animal . Most of the petting zoo are looking very warey !

sashh · 10/06/2024 08:37

@ScottBakula Cheese toastie on its way. I may need to sedate Leo.

Morning.

Another quiet day it seems so lets keep things simple. I'm going to pack up some picnic boxes of hard boiled eggs, ham, crusty bread, butter and jam. Flasks of hot drinks are obviously available.

Florence is making lemon cakes and Fernando is making tia maria shots.

I'm bacccccckkkkkk! 🥰

ScottBakula · 12/06/2024 00:39

Bloody hell @lovinglaughingliving , you scared the socks of me creeping up like that.

@sashh can you ask Fernando to pour me a stiff drink to settle my nerves.

A pack up with lemon cake and tia Maria, now that's my idea of a good picnic.

@Igglepigglesgrubbyblanket did you enjoy your swim?

How's the house sprucing going @Lavenderfowl

sashh · 12/06/2024 05:50

Morning.

Wow it is lively in here.

OK lets do something I have not done for a while, pancakes.

THin crispy with sweet or sour toppings, fluffy american ones with maple syrup and scotch pancakes.

Florence is of course making crepes and Fernando is handing out stiff drinks to anyone who needs something for their nerves.

ScottBakula · 12/06/2024 06:47

Morning all! @sashh pancakes sound delicious, I'd love a thin one with lemon & sugar.
I might have another swim in the pool again too - I think I'm achieving my ideal life here 😁

Thanks @ScottBakula for reminding me that I need some big fat American pancakes topped with lashings of butter, no sugar nor syrup

sashh · 13/06/2024 03:12

Morning.

How is everyone, it was quite sunny yesterday so I think I will get Florence making ice cream with fresh fruit.

Just in case it is a little cooler I'll fire up the BBQ for a range of sausages, cumberland, lincolnshire, brat wurst, chorizo all with a range of breads. Fernando is serving beers from Belgium.

Sweetpea1532 · 13/06/2024 05:14

ScottBakula · 13/06/2024 23:32

It's been damp and cool here today so I think I will go for the bbq sausage and baked beans please.

sashh · 14/06/2024 03:06

Morning.

Sausage and beans, that's a great idea I will open a few tins and put some toast on.

Florence is making chocolate cake and Fernando is making brandy based cocktails.

Leo tried to wash the goats in the pool, it wasn't pretty so he id on pool clean up duty.
