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

Too tired to mention everyone individually, so an all inclusive and collective ... hi everyone.
Yes thanks Pamela, a nice soothing cup of tea before bed sounds a good idea. I would be happy to indulge in a peppermint tea.
By the way Pam, yes I love your new profile picture. I guess this is one of the photos you took last weekend? Is it some type of parrot hiding in that tree stump? And well done on your first day of your new volunteer role with the library. Sounds like very much a 'feel good' experience.

Cart wheels into the caff lands on a seat perfectly grabs a huge bucket of hot coffee and sculls it. Then lets of a firework display out the front of the caff that would make the new year celebration look like a sparkler. Wahoo another two steps closer to FREEDOM.
Watch out CMF when I get out of here I am coming out there to buy all your craft stuff.

Feeling flat this morning I better get an air compressor and reinflate myself. I have one person pushing one way another going in a different direction. Then an agency who's computer crashes and have to call clients to check when their appointments are and when.

Morning everyone.
Yummy coffee and breakkie goodies. That cacoa and peppermint energy ball was so good! Thank you CMF and happy Friday to you too.
Mandy, my avatar is a rainbow lorikeet in a hollow of a tree trunk. It is sitting on a nest while the partner flies in and out with food. Yes, the photo was taken recently.
Jackson, how did the surfing go on your new board?
Monkey Magic, do you have anything planned for the weekend?
Paul, what have you been up to?
Everyone else I haven't mentioned, please pop into the cafe and say hi.

Hi CMF, Kanga, Pamela, Paul and anybody else around.
Just sliding into a comfy chair here for a momentary escape from reality and hopefully an hour's rest.
I have the 'do not disturb' sign up on 'The Blanket Fort', so I hope nobody else needs it right now.
