Sounds lovely Booklover. May you find the rest and peace you crave.

With care,

Sitting on the dock with my feet in the water watching the wildlife. It is so lovely just listening to the insects buzzing around and the birds calling in the trees

Aah, this is nice.

I don't know where i am, but if the temperature is cool, a warm drink, please. If warm, then a nice cool drink please. i'll get the next round if you show me where to order.

Sleeping for 12 hours straight is a blessing. Mega stress reduction. Having time alone (even with wife) after so much company is great.

Too late for coffee, so the virtual cafe might support frozen yogurt or something like that. But don't pile on the toppings, unless you throw caution to the wind.

I've made a mix of vanilla and orange, my favorite from childhood. It is very pleasant, sitting in the slight heat and humidiity (we are on the front porch) , spooning away at the "healthy frozen yogurt". But some connections were made in that humid yogurt sensory overload.

I think the next batch of cookies or fancy sandwiches coming into the cafe will blow out the "dreamsicle" aroma and humidity and replace it with powerful vanilla or almond paste, German mustard, or Korean barbecue sauce, all and any of which are tasty beyond compare.

I can't wait to see what goes on next here. Thanks for sharing frozen yogurt with me.

Hi easystreet I’ve brought some homemade vegetarian sausage rolls and some feta and pesto parcels in. I put them on the counter for all to enjoy get myself a lovely hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and then go out into the garden to find a nice quiet place where I can sit and just cry

[EasyStreet]

Nice to have you here, Booklover, I tested/tasted the hot chocolate a while ago and it was just perfect. Whatever you need or want to do here is fine, I'll rattle around over near the waterfall where my noise is less intrusive. I've been tasting the coffee, too!

If ok, sending care.

Curl up in a cozy beanbag and let the tension drain from my body.
