The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor22 May 2015, 5:12 pm AEST

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 @Shaz51 it is her youngest, everyone is soshookup and upset.

Hey @MDT how are you my friend? See you have had a rough week this week.

Hey @Mazarita my day has been good, I have done some Reno work on my shed and had dinner at a park, it was nice.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Nice one @Mazarita

Yeah I was up at 6 and did my walk in the park. Still dark at 6. Found a coffee place. Came back to my rental apartment. Showered. A scoop of yoghurt. Then off to my conference. Went from 7:45am all the way to about 5pm. Non stop except for lunch and tea breaks. Did a presenting and networking. All in an environment where I didn't know a soul
Got some contacts and had some interesting conversations.
Came back to my digs to do some self reflection and a bit of reading and self help.
Just chilling out atm. Not up for much on my own anyway. Not very fun to do so I think.
Anyways. Watching MIB atm

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

All over the shop aye @Jacques
In Adelaide atm for a conference that was today. It was alright. Just a really long today as I was saying to Mazzo here.
I am truly exhausted and today was helpful for me i think but perhaps a bit underwhelming too. Idk mate. It is what it is.

@Jacques can't tell you how wonderful it is to me to hear you seeming so much happier than when we first met at the forum years ago and you were struggling so awfully hard. I know that life is probably not roses completely, but the difference I see in your mood from then to now seems huge. Sounds like love has brought so much to your life. Hugs!

Whiting and chips @Shaz51 @Adge

Ok here but glad the week is over. Just watched Gardening Australia and now Vera. Quiet night at home.

@MDT as I thought, a gargantuan day by my standards! Sounds like things went well, great.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

It's just that I have not had any sort of Holiday (no Trips away) in 5 years @Mazarita

My last trip was to NSW in March 2016, for my Dad's Funeral.

Nothing wrong with here Per Se.

Just need lots of $$ to Fund some sort of Holiday & Trips away - & some company to come with me (that's a hard one), as I don't tend to want to go anywhere without company.

No-one to come with me (not just the $ expense) is a major reason for my not going anywhere much.

I did Yoga Class this morning, swept the whole house, plus did other bits & bobs.

Tomorrow morning (8.30am) I'll do my 2nd Yoga Class for the week.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Yeah, trips are expensive, @Adge. A friend who is very important to me is having her 60th birthday soon in Adelaide. We were friends in primary school 50 years ago! I am in the process of working out if it is at all possible for me to go. Really want to, but the likelihood is not high, dammit.

Hear what you say about going places alone. If shy, we can find it hard to connect with anyone there. When I've been in adventurous phases at earlier times in my life, I have found travelling alone led to some interesting experiences I would not have had if I was with a friend.

Seems good to get away from home though for a bit for a change of scenery and vibe, even if just for a short time and not far, like a weekend trip or the like. Hope there's something good for you like that in the future.
