The BB cafe is open for business!
Welcome all to a new chill and chat place for everyone on the forum.
The BB cafe is whatever you want it to be. There are comfy sofas, tables and chairs, coffee machines, a kitchen stocked with everything. There's a pool outside, a bbq area, an annexe with comfy beds for a quiet sleep, tv, dvd, books and whatever else you would like to have here.
Most of all, it's a place to meet friends and fellow travellers for a bit of company. Talk over problems, tell jokes, share your day, escape into a world of your making. Grab a coffee and pull up a chair ...
So, with a nod to the wonderful Carole King (Hard Rock Cafe) ...
Now if you're feeling just a little bit lonely
Don't sit at home just mopin'
Come on down to where the friendship flows freely
You know the door is always open
At the BB cafe
Come to the BB cafe
They will help keep your blues at bay
At the BB cafe

Hey you guys,
oh man, you're both anxious 😞. That makes me sad. Try some relaxation apps and herbal tea. Do either of you use Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate) in a bath? Can buy it from the supermarket, good for relaxation and sore muscles. Might be good after a footy match Jackson. Will help you sleep.
hope you both feel better soon.

Thank you CMF. Sat here doing my slow breathing. Settled a little. Going sleepy byes now. See you tomorrow.
Thanks for the herbal tea! Don't have a bath, only shower, so don't use epsom salts. (Take magnesium tab at night)

Morning all just dropping in or my morning coffee. Hope you all have a better day today than yesterday. If you had a good day yesterday well I still hope it's better today than yesterday. Lets face it mine cannot get much worse, my days are ground hog day. Each day is the same as the day before. My support worker is only now beginning to understand where I am coming from. Realizing I have information valuable to me getting home. Plus what priorities are. Like mobility, which I will need for a lot of appointments. I don't want all my appointments in my home. I wont to be able to go out for coffee, or go to a swimming hole. But she had blinkers on and could only see me getting home then everything else. I wanted mobility then home because with out mobility I just get cabin fever. I have been locked away for about 3 1/2 years in total now. Either where I am now or at home.

Hi Everyone.....Readers and New Posters are more Welcome to say hello too 🙂
Thanks Kanga for asking about our day even though yours wasnt too flash.....unfortunately
The Supercars were live on Foxtel from Symmons Plains in Tasmania so that was a relief from the never ending footy (AFL) broadcasts....Craig Lowndes won the race today.....unfortunately in a Commodore but it was a great result never the less 🙂
My shout for the coffee 🙂

Ouch Paul what are you doing that shout hurt my ears and that was with ear plugs in. Sport, motor racing, horse racing aghhhhh quick send me to mars now. I want to get away from it. I have had enough it keeps on following me every where.
Finally worked out the difficulties with me mobile. Turned off some apps running in the background. Plus got power settings set properly so it's working now. Cross fingers toes legs arms hairs

Hello everyone
Are car racing..... Can't say I'm a huge fan Paul. But will join you in a coffee first thing tomorrow morning. A bit late for me now. I'll make it 🙂
Kanga glad to hear you've had some of your phone issues sorted.
Hope everyone has a good evening.
Prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, mussles lobster and oysters on me. (Huh, yeah, not sure where I'll get the money. But I can dream)
