Sunday Coffee and Chat -- 15th March 2026

@Icecream they are a gorgeous dog with a fantastic temperament. What a fantastic choice you made.

@Mustang67 All of thode suggestions are so good, including midnight. I am torn though between Ash, Midnight and Berry

Ash and Midnight sounds great names @Icecream

@AlwaysMyself both matcha and mango are separate flavours, is what I meant ☺️

That sounds more tasty @Blackcloud , but I don't judge those who like unusual combos either lol. I asked because I come from a family with ... well... a family member who would mix those flavours into a single-swirl-flavour if they liked both of them! lol. I'm talking making a "salad & cold meat sandwich with strawberry jam on fruit bread" kind of "unusual" 😂. (Why do I recall this example? I got quite upset as a child that they were "wasting my fruit bread" - which was a special treat in my household! I could not understand how fruit-bread could be benefiting their salad/meat/ sandwich. I have come a long way in 25 years since with seeking-understanding & accepting things I don't understand or relate to lol !)

Hmm maybe I should make some ice cream this weekend whilst my friend & her son is visiting. I reckon her son might get a fun kick out of that - I should ask her! He could pick any flavour he felt like... 🤔

@AlwaysMyself ahh I see, that’s totally understandable haha! The last time I’ve ever had a combo of the matcha and mango flavoured gelatos or ice creams (both separate) together was probably two years ago?
I also really love the matcha and black sesame combo & I personally like this combo more ☺️ all very yummy & healthy flavours!

Sounds like it’s gonna be a fun one making ice cream for your friend and her son before they come over ☺️ I’ve noticed here in Melbourne because it’s already autumn, we still get only a very few hot/warm days so 🫠 but I’m also really glad that summer is already over! Like I really can’t stand the heat at all 🫩

The first few I made, I tried selling them then realised it's just a silly idea so I just make them for myself now. Just winding down before work today.

Hi all,

Just checking in.

Sorry have not been posting so much has been going on.

It's 4:30am typing this.

Found out some not so good news about my neice.

Made a decision to ring child services and police to do a welfare check on her.

Just now read my emails mum is now on puree diet and thick solids to drink.

Not looking good mum.

I have been having a hard time Am learning to have a routine to stick to.

My session is nearly at the end with my phycologist according to victim services.

I have a weekly chat with him am.

Any way need to leave it at that now

Making a coffe

@Blackcloud just read about your experience on the train 2 weeks ago (yep, still that far behind myself 😅). It does sound odd. But... i wknder if she possibly wasn't speaking to/about you, but rather to herself? 🤔 i wonder if she was staring and/or trying to make eye contact?

If she was trying to talk to you for that long, I reckon she would notice you didnt hear (or understand) and they would stop 😊.

A number of times in my life i have observed people speaking to themselves in public. And often people who are loud and in distress (sad, angry, paranoid... can be different types).

When I'm alone sometime I talk to myself in the 3rd person too! 😅🤣. Yeah, i know I'm weird. But i do it very quietly as my own way of processing thoughts or what i need to do. Its the same as when i talk to my dogs - except my dogs arent there to talk to 🤣.

Rest assured i don't do it at a volume others would hear though! And i definitely wouldnt be staring at a person while doing it either.

Its one of those things that probably will "never be known" what happened. But in case it still plays on your mind, i thought i'd offer up an alternative possibility that came to mind from my own experiences 😊.

Hey @Abby6_2025 i just saw your post from the other week. That sounds like a really tough time for you, and also your neice and mum.

It sounds to me like you care about them a lot, but are worried for them?

Have you and the psychologist put together a plan for you for support once your sessions with him end?
