Saturday soiree -- 8th November 2025

Hey @EternalFlower ,

Sorry to hear you have a cold - glad to hear sleep helped.

Hope you enjoy your walk.

Took me awhile to get out of bed this morning - too much time on my hands and not enough to wake up to. So I read scripture first thing most mornings to connect me to hope and purpose in a less than ideal life.

We just had a loud storm which was quite dramatic - the sky is still grumbling.

The challenge is can I use this afternoon well - I'm thinking about watching a sitcom or reading Matilda by Dahl.

@Realness matilda is great but the movie is quite dark - hopefully the book with be comforting 🙂

scary about the storm - i think it has been raining here too. I'm going to put on a mask and get out a bit

hope your body is resting and okay, it's a moody weekened

Hi @EternalFlower ,

Yes, I agree. Matilda the movie is scary and dark. Somehow Dahl writes in a way that lightens things but I am now wondering why I chose it. At least the little girl outsmarts her in the end.

@Realness i made it out in our storm. Its not horrible tbh but its raining a lot. More annoying.

The movie is really disturbing but the concepts are very beautiful and at least Matilda gets out. I love Roald Dahl.

hey @Shaz51

too hot in Sydney cant do anything just typing breaks sweat and i only use one finger!

i never get climatised to summer i been here over 30yrs, not complaining just saying

Hello @EternalFlower Roald Dahl i think they changed a lot of his literature recently due to its offending woke movement

Did they? His work is good @REDLINEZ750 sorry I got panicked as I thoight u were a moserator

Its cold here but I like it ....not terrible but tbe rain is a bit intense.

dont freak out too much @EternalFlower ask any one its almost like a right of passage to fear the moderators when first join the forum 😁

honestly they are not there to enforce anything they only want to avoid us accidentally triggering another and vice versa should you gett an email its only to explain something so we understand.

theres no scalding or berating but yeah i freaked out on my first one didnt come on forum for a day or 2 which was my doing i should of just opened the email and read it properly

but yeah they done it with charlie chocolate factory BFG and a lot more he is politically incorrect these days but too popular to write off

I got pretty things!
