Friday Coffee and Chat -- 14th November 2025

Sitting with you @avant-garde 🥰

@SleeplessRaven , thank you 😊 yes will need a few more plants

Hello @tyme

@avant-garde i hope it helps air things for you. A good cry can do wonders i learned to see. (i say this ignoring my dad's scorn for any man's tears.)

Hey all my FriYAY friends @DownMoreThanUp @Shaz51 @avant-garde @GezzaP @SleeplessRaven

Wow @DownMoreThanUp !

Hello my Friday Friends 😍. First thing I bought today when I arrived back into Aus at the airport? A bottled coffee milk drink lol. I had a few iced coffees whilst away, but none as good as my trusty Dare lol. I do prefer it than "fresh" iced coffees. Oh, but I found actually a really nice made-in-Indonesian coffee milk -- and its made with oat milk so I don't feel sick! But they came in super-small (200ml) drink sizes lol. Just googling the brand now it appears they use Australian oats lol, but they sell it in SE Asia (Indo, Malay, Singapore...). Apparently they even make ice cream?! But I did not see any of their ice cream over there. I might have to see if I can buy these in 1L in Aus somewhere.... https://oatside.com/products/oat-latte/

The caramel macchiato was also a really nice flavour too.

Lovely flowers @Shaz51 😍.

@DownMoreThanUp Ooh scary snake! I am a bit phobic of meeting a snake in the wild - I have not met a wild one other than a brown snake tangled in net in the backyard once (called a snake catcher and locked the dogs and myself indoors lol). But I'm OK/like the ones at the zoo that are used to being handled - I know they are calm and not going to bite so I am OK to handle them.

Snakes and sharks are pretty, but I am very scared of them in the wild without a barrier.

@Kashmina did I see you mention chips and ice cream? yes please, sign me up too! 😛

@avant-garde I am not sure what happened today for you, but saw that you felt like curling up and crying when you got home. *big safe hugs to you*. Hope you are feeling a bit better for some rest.

Wow , look at that snake @DownMoreThanUp

Yes i used to be scared of snakes, and although i will not pick one up, i have lost my fear for snakes over the years living where we do. So many of them around. Yet we have lived here for almost 30 years and only one dog ever got bitten, and that was only because he sought them out in the bush for we did not have him behind a fence at the time yet.

(Some very hard praying on our side got him thought that snake bite. For although the kids were convinced he was done for seeing him lay half dead on the veranda with his tongue out of his mouth, he got up and going again. And recovered completely from the ordeal. )The near 2 m long tiger snake was not so fortunate.😀)
