The Weekly Friday Feast

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Yes, rest & relaxation is in order (needed) @soul

I just got my blood tests done this afternoon - to see if a cause can be found for my whacky heart-beat (palpitations).

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Yes @Adge things are going that way for a lot of people with mental health issues (what NDIS calls psychosocial disability). People are falling through the gaps. NDIS had rolled out here 3 years before I came here and it was almost impossible to get any support without NDIS when I moved here from interstate. I think Partners in Recovery are still going if they're in your area. And they help with NDIS applications. There are lots of things I could tell you about but don't want to bombard you, and it would probably be better to talk about it on the other thread I mentioned if you want to. Any time.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I gotta get onto the Sane chat and speak to them re support when OS but I think i will be too busy looking at stuff lol @eth
Maybe a few dark nights of the soul will hit, but I know how to tackle such things after all.
Did you find that travelling alone was ever lonely?

@eth chocolate definitely makes me happy, unfortunately my hips aren't as happy as the rest of me lol

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I did feel pretty alone at times @MDT but when I look back on it I see that it was a bit like doing a retreat in some ways. And I grew as a person by doing it. Cost a lot tho'!

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Indeed @eth
A retreat is the best way of looking at it I think
I will be seeing a friend in NY and also DC.
So I won't be alone for all of it.
A good balance methinks

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

After all this time some proper me time would be best @eth

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

It does sound like a good balance @MDT. My 2nd month in Denmark I spent on an island where I didn't know a soul and only had 1 book to read - I read it 7 times! I didn't speak the language either. Do you speak any Polish?

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Nah @eth but I think the job I am trying to get offers it.
I'll be okay though I think.
