Friday Coffee and Chat -- 12th December 2025

Love granny smith with cheese or baked in the oven with dates in the core hole with honey. @Chasingsunsets @Shaz51 .

@Shaz51 My passionfruit was the offspring of one I previously had in the wrong place. Moved it to a better location. It’s growing well now. Grapefruit is producing fruit already but need to cut back surrounding plants so it gets more sun. Raspberries are my other favourite and I can make yummy banana bread. Also like caramelised banana.

Yumm @GezzaP 😊

Hi Darling @Shaz51 I’ve been so absent from the Forums this year and 2025 is coming to an end already. Still the hardest time for me Christmas. My girl still absent from my life, too many years now, and not even phone calls anymore. Her supports still keep me posted somewhat but sadly the illicit substances take priority these days. Despite all this, I’m doing okay. Today we have drizzle and I can almost hear my garden drinking lol it’s been so hot and dry. My son arrives for a visit late January which is wonderful as work keeps him away all year. Hoping you and yours are keeping on Shaz and sending my love and gratitude for your presence here as always. Krishna 🙏❤️🌻

Sending you lots of tender hugs my friend 🧡 @Krishna

Am glad your daughters support group keeps you in touch

My physical health problems are getting worse

Hey @Shaz51

How has your day been? It's finally starting to feel like summer down here in Melbourne.

Hi @DahliaDreams

What's up?

I’m so sorry to read this @Shaz51. How are you managing yours and your husbands health issues. I hope something in amongst it all brings a smile 😊 💜
