The BB cafe

[Kazzl]

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

Good day everyone. It's Saturday. Do we have any weekend specials on the menu?😊

What would a Capriccioso style breakfast be? I don't know all these Italian words lol😂

Mekitty, good to hear that you had a good sleep, today's weather is a bit odd here, with sunlight accompanied by rains and winds. which makes it either not too warm or too cold. I think sounds travel even faster in wet conditions. I almost heard the bells from the railway crossing several kilos away...  I'd like to have a walk on the street from where I live to the train stop. It's relatively quiet most of the time on that street...

Hi EM, glad to hear that your chickens are not picky on food😊,  there's nothing that can be done for an overnight dried-up pizza😂 

Have a great day everyone 🙂

Oh yeah OTR, you pushed us right into 1975! PLATFORM flip flops is what I remember of that year. Really cool lol. Mine were black and white striped, like licorice lol. GREAT for walking on hot sand at the beach and getting to the water's edge. 

OTR my chickens ARE picky eaters lol.. they don't like bread rolls, unless I soak them with some type of sauces or gravies I've decided to sacrifice to the bread rolls so the chooks will eat them. 
They really just pick off all the toppings from old pizzas, leaving the capsicum lol. 

Kitty I love Today, Tomorrow and Yesterday shrubs. We have one in our front garden. So pretty. 

The weather here today was all over the place.
SUNNY and quite hot, then I went into the Shops to get groceries and it must've bucketed down while I was in there lol... I came out and everything was WET, but sunny again.
Since then we've had the same thing happen twice more today. 

While it was sunny, I thought it was done raining, so took the leaf blower out and blasted about. Scrubbed the front porch, getting rid of the little pressies the chooks left everywhere when they were roaming. Scrubbed away... then it began to POUR! 

I quickly scuttled everything inside. Now it's cold brrrr. 

Dinner? 
Making pork chops with a made up Asian sauce, some greens and rice tonight. Doing rice paper wraps with tofu for lunch tomorrow lol, then ribs for dinner tomorrow night. 
Poached eggs with vegemite on toast for brekky, YUM! Paul would LOVE that lol... not. 

What's playing in the Cafe tonight you ask? 
FOO FIGHTERS.. they rock. 

Love EM

Hi OTR,

Good to see you this arvo.

I have made a mountain of my basic Mega Multidimensional Salad Mix. I have plenty to share. So many ingredients you won't get too much of any one thing.

I remembered the cheese today. 😺

Interested? Would you like a list of ingredients?

hi all.

mmMekitty - i did try to make a new thread since i did comment on my old one but it never came up on the forums, & it wouldn't let me make a new one for some reason even though i didn't break any rules or anything.

EM - oh interesting, i didn't know you could get it printed out, thanks for letting me know.

[mmMekitty]

Tealflowers, I think you will need to contact modsupport about why you weren't able to make a new Discussion.

However, I have found your earlier Discussion, so I have && will post more there.

I'm going in to lie down again, once I finish my night time meds. This left leg is really bad tonight.

mmMekitty, please don't talk on my own threads. i have contacted mod support anyway. i don't wish to have those threads but unfortunately they can't be locked or deleted. i did reply to you on that thread but i would prefer to talk in other threads like here. at the moment i am not up to reading back on my own threads as it is triggering for me, & i have just been on the social part of the forums & will stay there, as i don't feel like reading sad things about myself or others. this goes for anyone who wishes to go on that thread. i would delete or lock it myself if i could.

[mmMekitty]

Okay, & sorry I went to that Discussion. Promise I won't anymore.

A problem arises if you want to talk about more serious issues, deeper feelings, problems you would like help with, which are too heavy for the Social Zone area. Where can we talk?

You are still welcome to come to my Discussion, 'Introducing mmMekitty', but I understand if you don't because yu may encounter things you won't want to be reading. I do talk some serious stuff in there.

I don't know what else to suggest.

Here, you can pretend to go into a cafe, sit at a table, look over a menu & order something to eat & drink, & have a little conversation with people who are around. If that's something you'd like, I think we could do that. It's only hard to get any real time feel, not knowing when people will be chatting. 

Wanto to try?

This morning, I'm having cerealwith fruit again. No, thanks very much, but I will not be having coffee today. 😺 & I see there is more salad on the menu. Great stuff! 

mmMekitty

[britishtvfan]

it's okay mmMekitty, i know you meant well & i appreciate it. sorry if i sounded a bit snappy or something. i'm just not up to talking on sad threads lately, my own or anyone else's, or even reading them. yes i sympathise with everyone struggling of course but i prefer to try and distract myself with the social threads like the games. i wish there were more games on these forums but i can't think of any myself to make. 

[sbella02]

Cereal with fruit sounds fantastic, mmMekitty. That's one of my favourite breakfasts. 

Tealflowers, it's perfectly okay to give your mind a rest sometimes, we may not always have the capacity to hear or read situations that are emotionally challenging and that's alright. Come and take a seat at the Café, we've got plenty of food & drink to go around. 🙂

Off the forums, I'm currently enjoying a lovely bowl of strawberries and watermelon cubes. So I'd like to bring a lovely fruit basket to the BB Café, what fruit would everyone like? Strawberries? Watermelon? Dragonfuit? Bananas? We've got it all.

As we move into the new week, what exciting things has everyone got planned? Let's have a chat over a lovely Sunday evening meal 🙂

[mmMekitty]

Hi SB & everyone,

Mulberries! 😺#1 on my list - if only I could get some at the supermarket.

At least, here, in the outdoor dining area, we have plenty of room to plant trees of every kind we would like - so there is at least one big Mulberry Tree, just waiting for us to clim & collect the berries. 

#2 on my list has to be really big Mandarins, in season all year round, here.

#3 is capsicum, green & red, in one type. Wonderful freshly picked. *CHOMP*
