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

Hello there Fiatlux. How are you doing?

[Ggrand]

Hello everyone…🤗♥️..

Its Saturday today…I was wondering if anyone would like to have a BBQ dinner tonight…I have some huge mushrooms I’ve stuffed with cheese, bacon and shallots…sausages of whatever flavour your imagination can muster up…plenty of onions,  some freshly made bread rolls, different types of salads and of course any dessert that you can imagine….as well as a huge pavlova filled and topped with Australian fresh fruit….

I used to read a lot, but finding I don’t have the patience and vision enough to read, I now get read to by the internet…😂 not the same because unfortunately I often fall asleep while listening and don’t remember where I was up to before I fell asleep😁…

Last day of Summer today, won’t say I’m sorry to see it leave us this year because it’s been incredibly hot and mostly rainless out my way ….Looking forward to the cooler weather but I also remember that the 30’s can stay well into Autumn….

I hope everyone has a beautiful day today, hugs everyone 🤗🤗.

Happy Autumn everyone.. 🍂

Happy Autumn Grandy.  Like you I will be glad when the hot weather ends.  

Hmmmm... I'm a bit late for the BBQ dinner.... still time flows differently in the cafe so I think your your BBQ can become a Sunday lunch one...  a couple of pork snags in bread would go down quite well... especially with some grilled tomatoes.

Hello everyone…..🤗♥️..

Paws I think we were the only ones at the BBQ…oh but it doesn’t matter, being the BB Cafe time can be magically available to suit ourselves..like “Stargate” we can walk through the big ornated circular gates and be at anytime or place our minds want us to be at….

Does anyone shop at Temu…I bought these fly/mosquito zappers that run on phone charger plugs…they light up with a purple light, which the bugs are attracted to, they fly into it them they are zapped….. Needing to stay clear of air chemicals, I thought I would try them….they work really well…

Really I just dropped in to the cafe for a midnight snack…of a tomato and cheese toastie, before I settle down for the night…

Hugs and kind thoughts everyone..

Hello everyone….🤗♥️…

The café  has been very quiet …anyone want to walk with me alongside the river that flows through the cafes back gardens?…

[Ggrand]

I took that walk alongside the river’s edge, the silt was soft and cool to walk bare feet, it went between my toes and kind of felt like a foot massage…While walking the swans flew in and very gently landed on the moonlit water,  it was like a mirror with the sky’s reflection…when a swan landed it looked like an upside down swan sitting under it, the reflection made me giggle a bit…

Looking up at the night sky was glorious, millions upon millions of stars that twinkled so brightly, it was like I could reach up and touch them, they looked so close..The universe really is a wonderful place…Walking a bit further down the river were the ducks…ducking under the water, splashing around and quickly very loudly when they found a few tasty treats..Treats hmmm…yummy, in fact I’m eating a coffee flavoured chocolate coated Magnum while I continue to the end of the stream…Once I get their, I’ll have a sleep, laying down on the fresh cool grass…laying on my back and watching the stars twinkling against the darkness of the sky, will surly give me a peaceful sleep 🥱😴…anyway. I might stay here tonight and do the return walk back to the cafe tomorrow night…

I hope everyone has a lovely day today..

Hugs 🤗

Grandy…

Hi Kazzl and everyone else at the cafe!

Pulling up a comfy armchair in the corner and grabbing a virtual flat white. ☕️ It’s my first time properly dropping into this section, and it’s honestly so lovely to see such a warm, welcoming space away from the heavier stuff.

The weather has been a bit all over the place where I am lately, so I’m just enjoying a quiet afternoon indoors. My cat has officially fallen asleep across my feet, so by the laws of nature, I am now trapped here for the foreseeable future!

What is everyone else’s go-to comfort drink or snack when they just need a moment to decompress and switch off the brain? Sending good thoughts to you all today.

Hello Dear Guest,

I was waiting for someone to join me on my virtual walk back to the cafe, nobody turned up, so I walked back alone, head down not really mindful of all the beauty around me…oh well that’s life…

Guest, their is so much food of all types in the cafes fridge, your imagination is all it takes to find or make something yummy…so if it’s okay I’ll join you for a coffee and get some Jam donuts out of the fridge for us both….and anyone else who wants to join us…

Love how your beautiful cat has kept you trapped while you were enjoying a quiet day at home, they love affection don’t they? I have 2 dogs, one has a habit of laying at the side of my legs and resting her head on my knees, which I love…

I hope your day and everyone’s day is a good day.

Hugs 🤗,

Grandy..

Hello everyone….🤗♥️..

Being Easter I thought I would bring in a few large boxes of Easter chocolate….its been so quiet here lately…

The boxes have, hollow eggs, solid eggs, chocolate bunny rabbit, chocolate chickens and anything else you can think of…oh even got a few live little chickens and babies rabbits, they escaped from the box and are running riot all over the cafe…maybe I’ll open the cafe doors so they can run around and enjoy our open area..who knows maybe they’ll make it there new home..then we can sit in the outside area and enjoy there company and even pet them when they let us… 🐥🐥🐥🐰🐰🐰

Do you have a favourite Easter chocolate?…

Hugs, 🤗🤗, and Happy Easter everyone..

Grandy..
