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

They will help keep your blues at bay

Good morning, all,

How about some nice tomato🍅 & 🍈or 🥭 or 🥑 with that? (😸I'd really like someone to take these off my paws, please, before they go off waiting for me, who will NOT eat them.)

My main criteria for my ringtones is that I need to hear the voiceover, so they cannot be too loud or complex. Unfortunately, the tones I like tend to be fairly similar, so I don't keep track of which is for what! 😺

Today, the forecast here is for rain increasing & heavier tomorrow, but by thisafternoon, when I'm supposed to go for another hospital appointment, it may be pretty heavy, so, that's a worry - & I wonder about having my helper driving in such weather... oh dear... I'm sure many of you know what it is like to have to reschedule a hospital appointment... I'm really hoping it won't get so bad as predicted, nor as soon... but I also have a GP appointment Thursday! (But my helper comes from a fair distance away, so... that's why I worry.)

Anyone out driving in rain, please be careful.

mmMekitty

good evening Mekitty, I'd love a cup of milo. It is quite cold here 🌙

How did your visit to the hospital go? Hope everything goes well 🙂 Driving in the heavy rain is a stressful event for most people... I would choose public transport over cars I do believe bus drivers are far better drivers... than I am 😹

Hello On the Road,

😺Happily the weather was not as extreme as forecast. Still isn'textreme even this morning. Somewhere else, it is, I gues... so, we were a little chilly but okay. Wait around & see a Doctor for 5 minutes, (different one every time), who has only read notes on a file. Looks like everything is okay.. It does make me wonder just how much tiredness/fatigue I'm am supposed to have before they think it is significant. As far as they are concerned, there is nothing to be concerned about.

I'm going to try to ask my GP again about the qualifications of the Physiotherapist they have at the practice, to make sure if she is or not sufficiantly qualified to deal with my needs. If not, can my GP help me find someone who is, even if I have to pay someone myself. I need someone who can help me more with the exercises & massage I'm supposed to do.

How have you been? Are you keeping warm enough? Now, it feels like winter has come early for many of us. I wore my new fleecy shirt style jacket yesterday. It is really cosy. 😺 It's like having comfort food. Winter is a time I feel I need more of that sort of comfort we get from food or fluffy blankets, or hot baths, or (as I have noticed here,) our pets. Looks like I I miss my cat more in winter. 😸

So a Milo sounds really good right now. I want one, too., with mmMarshmallows? Yep, I still have some to share.

mmMekitty

It's good weather (for ducks) this weather. But this is the first time I have been in a jumper (albeit a light one) for some time. I love Winter and jumpers and curling up on the sofa and watching something interesting. Soup too, and I love hot milo as well. I am meant to be studying but have become all lazy about it... I must dive back in but lack the initiative. I'm not late yet, but if I keep going I will end nicely in time and not have to ask for extra time! Why do I procrastinate?

I would love to just sit here in this nice cafe and have a ham and cheese croissant with hot milo, please. I'll study later.

Okay, Leisa, 🥐, with ham & cheese... 😸no charge, for those who study!

May I ask you what you are studying?

Hi mmMekitty,

I am studying Bachelor of Dementia Care at the University of Tasmania online. It's a fascinating course, it goes part-time for seven years, and I've completed around four years. I hope to become a specialist in Dementia and to help those poor people.

Today I procrastinate again. I'm going to hop to it, take my order to go and get into it. I think it's this weather. That's right, I'll blame that (not me). 🙂

Ah, is that how it works?

In that case, I ought to have not gone to my GP today, (though the weather wasn't so bad then( & REALLY ought not have gone to get some chicken after... the weather did crank up the volume on both the wind & rain! & it's still not as awful as in places elsewhere...

I fear/dread I may well need your services when you have finished & are qualified! (I do worry about me...😼).

🥡Take-Away it is.😺

I eat more Food when cold . Does anyone else.?
