Share a cuppa?

I also love words; I love learning languages, and etymology fascinates me @Appleblossom.. My mother was French and my maternal Grandmother was Belgian and spoke both French and Flemish, which is closely related to Dutch. One of the things I enjoy about the Beatles' songs is the grammar is beautiful.

I don’t really speak another language properly. Just English @Abner but have sung in many languages.

Flemish background is interesting. My family lived in Brabant before they migrated to Australia. Mother learned piano in Antwerp.

My Bonne Maman lived in Wallony, I'm not sure where but can probably find out. I'd love to go to Belgium one day, and recently watched a production of The Love of Three Oranges on YouTube done by the Royal Opera of Wallony Do you like opera or ballet @Appleblossom ?

I want someone to take an actual interest in me and not just be all judging over what I purchase and what I do.

One of my best friends is in a wheelchair and a few years ago we got her a sticker that says "my other ride is a TARDIS" (we're big doctor who nerds). She's getting a new wheelchair and has requested the sticker again, so I ordered it and a few other things like diamond art hair clips that look beautiful that a friend who doesn't navigate internet very well. The minimum spend is $40 and my friend gave me $20 for the hair clips.

What I've been doing is getting these mental health posters to teach me skills that I don't know, boundary statements, anxiety coping...

I filled up this order with 7 more because I found the two I have very helpful. It's helping me feel less alone and that I can learn how to handle these things.

So I find it difficult to make my emotions, so I got a few on emotions, including a keyring to carry with me.

It's not just useless stuff that I'm getting, it's stuff that is helping me learn skills I was never taught and I shouldn't be judged on that, or anything really.

@Ru-bee

It sounds like those are really useful visual reminders for you @avant-garde, that's great that you're getting those for yourself!

@Ru-bee just posted the images in the toolshed 😊

I was just looking through those! They're great @avant-garde

Hey there friends, I was just making myself a cuppa and wondered if anyone would like to join if you're around @avant-garde @Bow @Abner @Appleblossom @MissGremlin @MJG017 @Shaz51

@Ru-bee I'm sort of around

@Ru-bee oh I'd love to, not up for having a drink right now. Stomach is in knots from anxiety. But I'd sure love to sit with good company 😊
