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

Oh my, your weather sounds positively Melbournian at the moment (with steroids thrown in)!
Don't worry, you don't have to be cheerful every waking moment of the day.

No, no weather is as melbournian as the weather in Melbourne. 😸
At the rist of a sudden rainshower, the sun did come out for much of the time today.
& I am more certain I have 'the dreaded lurgy', of one sort or another. I"ve got some RATests hest here, but can't see to perform the test accurately, & then to see the line/s on the strip ... Definitely have a sore throat.... that's all I know.
So, sorry, we need a substitute cook for the BB Café on very short notice, or are we going to be a café that has food orders brought in? Heheh, no deliveries, but you can order a delivery to come here! Imagine, if that was what happens at your own local café?
You order your fully loaded hawaiian burger, & sit to wait for, first the smells & sounds from the kitchen. Then, curiously there are none. But you still expect someone to come around the counter with your order, but no one does. A few mor minutes go by, & still, no food, so you get up, & go to the counter & say to me. "Where's my order? It's been ten minutes, already. How long will it be?"
I tell you, "It should arrive any time".
You shrug, & buy a can of drink. to have while you wait.
As you take your second gulp, someone comes in carrying a cubical vinyl carry bag, that smells suspiciously like pineapple.
I greet the delivery person, with a smile, & take the contents fromthe them, & before the person leaves, I am turning to you, beaming, now, "Order #15, Hawaiian to go!"
& you've paid full price, hence I am beaming.

As Monkey has shown us, we can't entirely rely on food delivery services, & I know leftovers won't last forever, & it takes a long time to grow spaghettie trees, so please... who's going to cook while I'm off sick?

Hey mmMekitty,
I'll cook. I've just finished my last assignment and have a couple of weeks off...I think. I hope you get better soon. Well, the first thing I'll do is make this kitchen a little different, I'll hang the saucepans up instead of leaving them on the stove. I'll start with the lasagna both mince and vegetable and order a delivery of cakes from that nice cake shop down the road.
I'm trying to apply for a blue card, but it is a bit tricky. The fee is quite high (95 dollars) and I don't fit the requirements for a no-fee blue card. So for now volunteer work is out of the picture. I'm eager to get out there and volunteer so hope I can come up with a plan. It's so quiet around here today you can hear the birds clearly. The kookaburras are singing away, I only through they sing when the sun goes down. My mother used to tell me that they were saying goodnight.
Hope all are well! Any orders?
Leisa

Hi everyone, I heard the celebration from way up the road, & on such a dreary day, while I am feeling worse than yesterday, have managed to wander in.... in my thick winter coat, & on skates, so I was not out there very long.
I think my body is coming to grips with this Dreaded Lurgy,, now I'm coughing. I hope I move this stuff off my chest quickly, before it builds up & the coughing begins to hurt my chest.
Congratulations Monkey!🎈sorry, it's a bit wilted - out of Lurgy-laden breath. You've been a wonderful member of this family/community (I'm not decided yet), I've enjoyed how you are willing to play along in the games. 😺I feel I need a bit of fun every day, & you've helped me have these moments. With much appreciation, thank you.
Virtual hugs, for you, Monkey. 😸
Now, thanks Leisa - you are so observant, I'm sure you'll put everything back into its previous disarray?
I was going to ask if there are any leftover leftovers, but now I hear there's lasagne... well, bring it on! & only me -'cause you all don't want to get my Dreaded Lurgy, right?
& more virtual hugs - I'm trying to keep warm 😸,
mmMekitty

I think I was not close enough to the fireplace, Grandy, so, yes please, I'd love have another 🍋&🍯🍵(that must be the one made for wrapping my paws around). ..
What sort of tea is in your cup🍵, On the Road?
