The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor

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 🙂

Yikes, just read over Anxious Sundays, a broken ute, a broken hearing aid, and changing meds. What a week @Shaz51.

Its not much but can I offer you some rice pudding for dessert? I also got some ice cream. Anyone else want a serving?

Aww @Shaz51! **virtual hugs** That's so much for one week. Car hassels are terrible, and adding medical issues sounds so stressful.

When sh*t hits the fan like this, I think it can be helpful to get back to basics - eat well, rest, exercise and most of all be kind to yourself. Do what you can to look after yourself - this can help build your resilience.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Thanks @CherryBomb... It is easier to run in autumn & winter, because you don't need to wake up so early. In summer you need to get outside early or it is too hot, which doesn't bother some - but I find it difficult to deal with. If you are a walker - perhaps go for a walk in the middle of the day - when it is warmest during autumn & winter. Try hot yoga too!! I'm not really sure how to stay connected socially.... I guess going to yoga - at least you SEE other people... Maybe think about a type of exercise you enjoy & see if there are options to do that in a group?! I want to join the Toowoomba running group sometime - I was in a running group in Brisbane in 2014 - it helped keep me connected & encouraged & motivated... Since becoming vegan - I don't gain weight over winter - it is awesome! Even though instead of piccolos I tend to have small flat whites! Namaste, A

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank you @CherryBomb

We did get one good news today -- we thought the engine blew up because of all the smoke -- got a phone call today to say it was a leaking injectors that was the cause
