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

So, and update from me...

I was lucky with the weather system in and around Brisbane. There were (/are) plenty of people that were effected including some people I work with.

In regard to vanilla slices... I think the only places you can find things like these would be a old-fashioned bakery. Or perhaps find a CWA meeting - I think that might be the perfect place to find one.

On being lactose free... it is somewhat limiting in things with cream or dairy more generally. I do like sorbets but I can also make that for cheaper. At the stores I shop at, finding lactose free ice-cream is "hard". There are vegan options but they are quite expensive and not about to buy something like that just to find out I don't like it. (My wife  bought that was vegan friendly ice-block (pseudo ice-cream) and I did not like that one.) And I don't have an ice-cream maker at home. And if I did, it would not get used that often.
