thanks for dinner Jan, the roast is delicious I will have some fresh cream with my chocolate cake. yum!
going to relax here for a while and get out of my own head!

It's great to see my sista's in the lounge..... Getting out of our own heads can be therapeutic for sure

I'll put some coffee on and I have a little Bailey's to go with it!

brought you some strawberry fool (similar to mousse) so I hope it goes down easy with no added discomfort.
Jan, I'll have a ginger and lemon tea with a drop of irish whiskey. my own version of a hot whiskey which is delicious.
and another piece of that chocolate cake. very bad day today.

OMG I love pumpkin bread. How did you know? And the wonderful thing is that I can feast on it here without hurting my mouth! thank you.
There is a big chocolate cake in the fridge for Ladybugluvs tonight and for anyone else who needs delicious distraction. Fresh cream and Ice cream to go with it, try zapping it for 30seconds in the microwave -yummy decadence, (Does anyone want my very simple recipe?) when I worked as a chef it was one of my most popular desserts and is really easy to make.
Pumpkin coffee and coffee cake sound like just the thing after the feast of pumpkin bread (another thank you!).
Chandelier swinging is in order tonight I think to celebrate Ladybugs Great Escape and then maybe a jump into the ball pool and some relaxing in the sun with mimosas and good cheese and crackers. some music too I think

Thanks Jan - soup and sandwich sound good right about now. yum

dragged myself here...sad that the lounge is no longer used much - has been going a long time now.
going to try to get some sleep in front of the big fire I lit and I brought a large pot of homemade veg soup with just baked soft bread.
strawberries dipped in chocolate (90%) - keeping it simple.
might even have a small ruby port.
open for anyone who feels like joining me....

good morning. Breakfast is served - pancakes and all the fillings to the side with lots of fruits prepped for smoothies and a big pot of coffee and tea.
hope everyone has an excellent Saturday.

Hey irish. Just thought I'd drop in for a cuppa. English breakfast?

Hey Moob, would love an english breakfast but with Irish bacon sausage, egg, etc... an irish breakfast , I guess! boxty is essential!
enjoy

Ok - as requested by the wonderful ML - here's the exercise spot.

just went for a half hour walk along the river _ about three minutes away from my house and beautiful all year round.
remember to wear layers as you warm up or cool down as you go and put a bottle of water in your pocket to keep hydrated. dehydration can worsen depression.

off we go! enjoy

I just walked three dogs around my block twice! I feel good and they enjoyed getting out. Annie popped in her stroller and stepped in it though. Gotta make sure she poops before we walk. At least it was easy to clean up. Then we walked to my sisters around the corner so that’s nice too!!

I'm out walking now! Yayyy to Irish & kisses for getting their walks in!
