The Transcendent Rainbow Cafe - social space for LGBTI members

It would be so great to have a thread here where we can chat about almost anything. We can have fun, tell jokes, share stories, you name it!

There's a "BB Cafe" thread in the general area where lots of people chat daily and have established some nice light hearted conversations, it's treated as if it's a real cafe, there's even virtual baked goods and coffee!

Let's create a chat here for anyone to join, in particular the GLBTIQ community to let their collective hair down and chill out. It's a safe space to be yourself.

We just need a name ๐Ÿ™‚

Rain on the radar coming this way , perhaps a mostly inside day . However it turns out , may you all have a safe comfortable day .xxx

Coffee Chai or Milo ? Weetbix with warm milk and honey .

Good morning all . Watching a dock on the NRA ( USA ). WOW , how it became such a huge political power and what many consider a mainstream tool for extremists .

Enough of that , lol hugs smiles and xxxx from the never never . Jo&LD xxx

Good morning to you my friend... an inside day sounds delightful.

It is a gorgeous morning in Melbourne and there is actually the noise of small children in the street as the run and hunt their eggs... feels like years of old as we really donโ€™t see kids playing out in the street and on their bikes riding around.... they missed out on a childhood like ours where all we had was each other to entertain and our imagination...

I love your new pic LD... you make my heart sing with your divine cuteness xx

Happy Easter and love to you

Sarah xx

Good morning everyone who reads here . It is the loveliest morning here for a while . So clear , one of those spectacularly clear desert type mornings โค .

LD is in charge of the kitchen again today . A weetbix later for me I think ? And a Vanilla or Caramel Latte' for me later.

Hi Sarah , hope you are well rested and you get a coffee in bed if your kids are with you . Have a good week x . Aus Post parcel tracker said my new Japanese cook book isn't far. . Hopefully it made last nights mail truck . Yay , might be here today . Oh , I found old email address of a good friend on Saturday and sent email to re connect as she and partner went to live ( his native home ) in NZ a decade ago . ( we did catch up in Darwin in 2014 ) . Got one back quickly and have had a few more since . I introduced them to Jo , really lovely . Sowed the seed , a trip to NZ to visit ??? She sent huggles to Jo and read on here and you have some to from NZ , and from me . Huggles xxx .

Caught up with the youngest from last marriage , a truly lovely human , he has a big load and I am hoping I can somehow lighten it ? Have to work on that . He has been on my mind a fair bit for a while . Definitely worth the effort .

May the breezes of Peace and kindness cover the entire planet very very soon , Love Warmth and Peace from the never never . lots of huggles for you S , xxxx. Jo&LD โค๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ƒ

Hi Sarah , happy day . Are you home doing things with the kids ? ( funny at the age where they are really young adults how they are the kids to and always really ) Weather is still warmish here but not for much longer . The icy mornings are just around the corner . LD comes out to kitchen when I get up and stands at my feet looking up at me so I put a knitted jumper on her . If I ignore the little ratbag she does small woofs one at a time increasing in volume each time till I acknowledge her . xxxx huggles

Peace and cooperation all over the world , xxxx
