goood morning, it is 8.15am here so most of you are probably asleep. i shall just quietly leave the full irish breakfast on the warmers for everyone when they get up with stacks of pancakes and all the fillings. the sky is blue at the moment but that could change any second!! and yes am a little manic this morning but nothing to worry about!!!

have a very good day wherever everyone has gone! i hope the sun is shining there too.

Good morning irish, and everyone. I'm glad that it is almost the official start of summer. Things have been off to a great start from my end. It's been warm where I am, and I have been able to go take walks, and go biking, and spend time with my family.

Sipping a latte made with tea and milk which I made.

Irish, hoping that breakfast includes potatoes, and some bacon!!!

songstress- of course bacon and the lean stuff not the strips you guys get. and plenty of boxty just for you.

Good morning Irish, Songstress.

I'm just having a cup of cold coffee myself. It's so time for coffee.

Haven't been here in a while, i like what you've done with the place. Nice bedazzled unicorn statue and what are these new couches? Lovely!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Thanks, irish :) I'll have seconds, please.

Coincidentally also having coffee too, Andrea. I like to have mine with tons of milk.

Morning, everyone! I hope everyone is having a good week. I finished off my "Diploma in Social Work Studies" online course program which I was taking. Very happy about this. It feels good to be back in a "learning" type of a mode. I'm finding that being in a situation of not working presently, taking these educational courses and furthering my knowledge, is a productive type of an activity.

Just made myself a latte with green tea and almond milk...what's everyone else having?

good to see you andrea, i think of you every time i have a cup of coffee and you macciato (spelling?).

good morning songstress and everyone else. songstress where do you get the time to do all the things you do? you are one busy person. i hope you are sitting down enjoying your tea and doing nothing else but it!!

have a good day folks. your breakfast of choice awaits you. i left some of everything!!!!

Yum! I hope that it includes potatoes and bacon, again :-)

At the moment, like a lot of us in this group, I am not working. Actually, I do not foresee myself going back to work anytime soon, and therefore, I have some time to do various things...volunteering, and fitness being the main things.

HI Andrea!, Irish, Songstress,

Potatoes and bacon sound good I'll add in some scrambled eggs, good on you Songstress for the Social Work Studies course!

Beautiful morning time to make the most of it!

Thanks, May!

I actually went out for a short bike ride this morning to the library. The weather was very nice.

Yes I'm glad summer has arrived it's been in dribbs and drabbs here hot one day cold the next...

Thought I'd stop by with some appetizers...Made some smoked yam quesedillas with Chipotle peppers and some Monterrey Jack cheese...

also made some Shish Ka Bobs on the Barbe if you have an interest....

Wow, may, you bring the best treats!! Hope everyone is well. I had a rocky few days but am feeling a bit better today. Thanks for keeping the party going here everyone. It's a nice break from my day to chill out for a few minutes with good people. Cheesy group (((((hug)))))

Hi Sensitive,

Cheesy it is but sometimes you have to admit cheese is a comfort food. Made this on a camping trip and everyone was really happy...

How do you keep happy going....sometimes food and music have to suffice...and let's not leave out friends!

Those appetizers sound delish, May!

I just ordered some yummy restaurant food to celebrate after working hard on some projects and for my accomplishments.

Glad you're feeling better, Sensitive.

Good morning BiPolar Lounge! I'm checking in with coffee in hand.

I agree with Songstress that it's hard to work with this disorder so good to have other things to pass the time.

My thing is writing but I'm totes procrastinating right now. Played a good game of iPhone Scrabble. I can't beat my boyfriend at Scrabble very often but I can beat the computer so that's fun.

Setting out a nice fresh pot of Starbucks coffee and some blueberry scones.
