The BB cafe

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 Everyone,


Sleepy hi I remember you…sorry your not feeling the best…but you definitely came to the right place to feel better, The cafe is a wonderful place full of love, care and the best food and drinks you could ever imagine….

 

It has been a nice day here today…I made some time for me andI sat outside and enjoyed the sun…While I was sitting outside I was thinking about how lovely it would be to have a “Genie” to do my household choirs and cook…I remember when I was very very young and watched a cartoon with a magical teapot that the little boy rubbed and out popped a mass of purple smoke and poof out came the Genie….so silly me went and got my mums teapot and grabbed a rag and rubbed it so much I think I wore a patch into the outside….Sad of course that nothing popped out of the tea spout….no purple smoke😂😂…I think I tried for days, 😁…hiding it under my bed…

 

My imagination is still childlike, I hope I never loose that….Talking about imagination….I’m imagining a giant pavlova, lots of strawberries, passionfruit, blueberries, blackberries encased in a soft velvety marshmallow, with a crisp outer shell, smothered in freshly whipped cream…..completely calorie free!….It’s in the huge fridge in our pagola area, which has a huge beautiful, mesmerising bonfire burning….

 

The best place to be on this cold Saturday night…everyone sitting around a bonfire  fire, eating Pavlova and .maybe we could even put BB Cafés big tv on and watch “The Big Friendly Giant”…Everyone is welcome…come join In….

 

Enjoy your night everyone..

Grandy..

 

 

 

 

Hi Sleepy

My text-to-speech is saying the red heart I can see, (yes I am seeing the red heart in your posts here), is calling it 'heart suit'. Maybe if you can find, searching, 'red heart' that one will work better?

A decision was made to restrict access to the profiles of other people because of concerns some people have about privacy, about some very old posts becoming more accessible too.

This place has changed, as does life itself, eh? 

So sorry you are struggling this weekend.

Have you started a discussion where you would like to talk more to others about what's been going on for you lately?

 

After breakfast, a smaller bowl of oats & fruit, I also had some meat, because I thought I'd be going out to the gym, & I've been told I have been low in iron, too. But that outing was cancelled, so, unhappy about that, I went back to bed & had a big extra sleep-in today & I'm not even a bit down on myself for doing it. So there! 

I then had a late lunce of rice & vegies, with an orange.

This evening I think I will have a simple snack.

Tomorrow, I will make an effort to do some exercise here, using my dumbbells. That's the plan.

... or maybe I will be tempted by the mallowy Pavlova, if I can toast it some in the bonfire!?? 

I don't kno the 'Friendly Giant', but it sounds fun.

Grandy, your imagination is something a treasure - Love it.

I remember trying to decide on what three wishes I'd make.

I can't remember what I said all those years ago. Now, I wonder, what would say now?

...

I think I want many more than three wishes!

Hey Kitty..Grandy..Sleepy21...OTR and everyone!!

 

A special welcome to any new people that may be thinking about posting in the Cafe....to 'test the water' prior to posting on the main forums.

 

The Beyond Blue Cafe is open to any topic of light discussion as well as desserts and recipes.18

 

Example.....I bought a demo Black Holden Sandman Panel Van with 4000klms on it in 1978 when I was 18. That wasn't a smart idea. It looked excellent but Holden did a crappy job of rust prevention prior to spray painting the car..The rust spread like a virus before I reached 42,000klms

 

The 5.0Litre full house Holden Sandman is now dust..lol

 

Go FORD😃

I am sorry its been so long  .  Life has not been good and not getting any better either.  I am either starving with nothing to eat all day ...then realise it and crave chocolates, chocolates..and I have not through my life had a sweet tooth.  Perhaps I need the energy hit of sugar who knows, who cares.   anything nourishing in there I could have perhaps?  Can someone feed me.....an arm around my shoulders while you make something for me would not go astray either.    toasted marshmallows sounds good  Never done that in my life. can someone pick me up,and bring me in?  I miss you all so much.....Moon S  xxx
