Thursday Coffee and Chat -- 8th January 2026

Hehe happy to make you smile @NightFury ☺️.

Tasmania is a lot cooler and colder @Blackcloud

for me in far north Queensland where we are having the wet season and humidity

my husband would love to go to Tassie too

we are having lots of rain here

@Shaz51 rain is good, bring them all to here in Melbourne right now 😂

I’ve never been interstate before so if I ever do decide to go to tassie just for a vacation it’ll definitely be on my bucket list 🙂

Afternoon friends @Shaz51 @MissGremlin @Chasingsunsets

it was 43 degrees here in Melbourne yesterday and it drove me absolutely NUTS lol that I’ve been thinking of wanting to stay in a country where it’s currently cold there just to escape the weather here or even to Tasmania (I’d love to go to Tasmania if I can)

today is going quite fine with 30 degrees but tomorrow is gonna be back to 43 degrees :nauseated_face: I hate Aussie weather lol 🤣😔 perhaps I should like consider staying in Tasmania if that’s ever possible

@MissGremlin

@Blackcloud @Shaz51 @NightFury I'm just heading to the shops so I'll catch up on posts later.

😲 That's a lot of water in 24 hours @Shaz51Are they expecting floods? I haven't been watching the news. Are you and Mr Shaz safe up there? 💛

I wish I can go to visit Iceland 🇮🇸 😁❄️ I will go there one day hopefully 🙏

@Shaz51 @heartathome @MissGremlin @Chasingsunsets @AlwaysMyself

@Blackcloud ooh, Iceland! Yes please I'd love to visit it. 😊. Although I'd also love to see Greenland - where there is a lot of ice lol. I love Europe in winter -- partly because visiting European winter means I am avoiding Australian summer too 🤣. I need to be a professional migrator for the summer season lol.

Sorry I'm not yet on-top of my backlog of tags (FYI in case I haven't gotten to one yet) -- just starting reducing medication and it's sometimes throwing my body a little, so i am taking it easy and just on if/when I can. It might be a rough road for the next 2 months -- no way to really know how it will be for me, just got to take it one day at a time and hope its not too severe. 😊. It's just after 1pm now, and so far only a very mild headache, so that's good. But yesterday it was after about 230pm that things got bad for me; fingers crossed today is different!

Please do still continue to tag me and let me know how things are going. 😊. Just be aware I may be patchy with being online and only be able to respond to a few posts at a time (rather than ALL POSTS) when I do log on. But it is absolutely not a matter of not being interested or not wanting to, or ignoring you/anyone -- it's just a matter of how my brain and body is doing. *hug*

I also dislike the heat a lot. 38 here today. Yesterday was 36, although in cars it was more like 40 because of how they trap the heat. Planning to stay home the rest of the day, unless I feel OK later this afternoon *and* a friend would be wiling to drive me to their daily coffee meet *and* if they were doing it indoors (normal is outside). That's a lot of unknown "ifs" though lol. Staying home sounds easier unless I need company/distraction lol.

@AlwaysMyself Rekjavik is the one I was thinking of wanting to go to as it seems like a very nice city hehe :3 that's so true, the European winter is even colder than the winter in East Asian countries lol xD

thanks so much for letting me know about that friend, that helps me understand to see/know a bit better in terms of the response delaying part. Sorry to hear that yesterday didn't go well for you in terms of the medication symptoms 😕 I know that must've definitely suck having to live with those symptoms. I hope it doesn't go bad or severe for you in the next few weeks and months ❤️ 🫂

Oh for sure, I'll definitely continue to tag you in posts - thanks for letting me know you'd still like to be tagged! 🙂

Hi dear @Shaz51

Thanks for the tag.

Not up to much today. Probably a good thing

I hope your Thursday is going well.

Hi to everyone else too
