What kind of festival are you going to @CherryBomb?

I just tried to answer your updates email but am getting a message saying I don't have enough privelages to access that area.

@mrkotter still, I'm impressed with your efforts to get something fast and healthy! I don't know about you, but the winter time makes me crave comfort food - rich and quite unhealthy food.

@BlueBay ain't nothing wrong with maccas here and there!

Hi @Former-Member and @Jacques terrible stuff we're seeing in the news. Though, remember the news tends to tell stories that will sell. For the news, it seems the more tragic or conflictual a story is, the more is will be amplified in the airwaves. With all the tragedy, I find a balance is needed. Switching the news off, going out into the world and seeing that there is beauty out there.

@eth This weekend is the Blue Mountains Winter Festival - the winter solstice is this week! Hooray, looking forward to longer days! Will email you about accessing the updates thread.

@Jacques it's not too called yet. Apparently the snow happens in July... eeep! I'll be sure to post pics. The other morning though the grass was crunchy as I walked on it - frozen cold!

Tonight I have chicken soup that my friend bought over for me last night. She hounded me when I didn't reply. Grateful to have a friend bring soup when unwell💜

@Former-Member friends that bring over soup are wonderful. Was it homemade? - Not that I'd complain. I had a friend bring over canned soup when I was unwell, and was so grateful. It's when you're sick that it's hard to cook, yet alone to get down to the shops.

Mmmm, I love the addition of garlic bread @Former-Member.

What are you up to this weekend? Can you believe the winter soltice is nearly here. Winter is half-way!

Yes @CherryBomb. It was homemade.💜 And you just scared me with the winter solstice, wow this year is going fast for someone who doesnt do much😊

Hi @Jacques, great to see you. So glad to hear you are easing up on the support role and taking some steps to look after yourself first of all.

Hi @CherryBomb, it has been a bad week in the news. I keep my distance from it as a regular practice, just mostly checking headlines daily on the ABC and local news websites. I tend to take a cynical view of the news and find a lot of it to be like propoganda. As you say, it is so sensationalised and conflict based too. Better for my mental health if I keep my distance, I find. A winter solstice festival in the Blue Mountains sounds great. Hope you enjoy it!

Hi @Former-Member, great that you have that friend who brings chicken soup. It no doubt helped you back to your feet today to have that kind of care.

Hi @eth, your frozen dinner does sound super fancy!

Hi to others I haven't tagged, hope your Friday has been okay or better. If not, hugs to you!

My offering for tonight's feast is good ole pizza, a Friday night tradition here. Great local shop, very tasty.

This version above is vegan, which is not what we had, but wanted everyone to be able to share of the virtual feast.
