Friday Coffee and Chat -- 24th October 2025

@tyme yes. That was today's addition. I'll fish it out tomorrow and cut off the meat

Yesterday I added pumpkin and lentils and ate 2 bowls

In the instant pot, I'm just waiting for broth from chicken feet to depressurise.

I'm having a soup phase at the moment. @DogMan79

I really like soup, with beans at the moment.

I go through fads.

Tonight I had pho. My sister made the soup and added greens, tofu and sliced beef. It was good with the noodles. I really like noodles.

I love gardening in Spring and Autumn and early mornings in the Summer. @Jynx It

is a great distraction and a good way to get a bit of exercise. Atm I’m watching my sunflowers and globe artichoke seeds germinate. Also lots of plants about to flower. Summer veggies growing or planted.
When I was younger and stronger I would lug bags of potting mix around and turn iver the compost pile. Can’t do that anymore. Bought 6 plants this morning (3 indoor plants) and 4 packets of native seeds. Also got some new glasses. Have to havr a cataract removed in about 6 months.

Oh this is so wholesome @GezzaP!! Sunflowers are soooo iconic, I love them!! 🌻💛

I've wanted to do a native garden (alas, renting still), they look so lovely! Banksias and roo paw and wattle a-plenty!!
