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 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I'm currently watching Stand-up comedy and laughing more than I have all week. I finished Kitty Flanagan, now I'm watching Danny Bhoy.

I am laughing so much right now, I'm almost crying.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Some great advice @MoonGal. I agree, prepare beforehand, and be honest and realistic about things you think you have achieved, and areas that you can improve on. Remember, it's a job, yes, an important element in life, but it doesn't define all of you.

You're certainly not alone in having these talks. They can be painful, but in hindsight, in my own experience, they can also be helpful. You will be ok.

Glad to hear you laughing, and smiling

What is Danny Bhoy?

Sidenote: I'm going to reheat the mexican food I made yesterday.

Who's around tonight?

@Former-Member @Mazarita @Jacques@Shaz51 @Appleblossom (are you back yet?) @CannonSalt @MoonGal @Crazy_Bug_Lady??

Tacos taste good when they're reheated.

@CherryBomb He's a Scottish comedian. This is a bit from the show I'm watching. (Don't know if the link worked, fingers crossed)

I have been so stressed and tense all week, it feels to be be laughing.

Thanks for sharing @Crazy_Bug_Lady.

As the old say goes: laughter is the best medicine

Gotta love getting to the point where I feel like crying.

Haven't had one of those for ages - doesn't mean I don't laugh every day though.

Hello everyone. I hope you are all enjoying Friday. We leave fir Lismore tomorrow to visit family. Anxiety is a little bit better than last week. If I stop to think about it I can quiet the voices and take a breath every now and then. I don't think I've been relaxed enough to breathe easy all my life and O turn 40 this year

Hi @Angels333,

Not sure if I've met you before, so 'hi'! It nice to meet you.

Lismore is pretty nice. There's lots of the cows there, right? I think it's the place that my friend is from...

Glad to hear that your anxiety has improved. It's a great skill when you catch the voices, and quieten them with breathing.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

I think Friday must be my favourite day of the week seeing I always get my days confused thinking it's Friday in advance.

That salad looks delish. I think @Former-Member will love it. I wonder if she's about...

New A/C sounds refreshing @Jacques. It is hot where you are? So strange as it's cold here in the mountains. I'm wearing a down jacket and a beanie! It was hot yesterday but we had a cool - or should I say, 'cold' - change come in. We live in vast land of very different climates.

Though I am finding the weather to be more extreme and unpredictable in general all about. Do people also find this where they live?

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Friday greetings, everyone.

@CherryBomb It's consistently warm and humid here at the moment but it's now threatening rain. Still warm though even when that happens. I'm in SE Queensland.

I've had a slumpy kind of week in my own estimation. By contrast, my support worker was impressed with how much I challenged myself in our first week together (we get together on one day of the week and then she rings me at the end of the week to see how planned activities have gone and to discuss anything that has arisen). I was relieved to find she is gentler with me than I am myself. I do tend to beat myself up.

Glad to see you all. I'm going out this evening but may be back later.
