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

@Shaz51 how you feeling about those results? Hope treatment from hereon is straight forward.

@Former-Member, I hope you find that piece of you soon. Seems like part of you has shut down. Sometimes we can do that as was of coping. I'm so much happier in the warmer weather. For the first time since June, we don't have the heater on. We've had no in between weather. It went from cold to hot. Got anything planned for school holidays?

@Former-Member, I was also craving pizza today. For me, there's something about Fridays that make pizza tastier. Hope you're partner is feeling ok after having his teeth pulled. Hmmm, what will you eat, that is quick, easy and tasty?? OMG, I'm SO excited about your kittens! Will you post photos??

EDIT: He is hungry, so he is making the soup...

Hi gorgeous @Former-Member..... I think I have felt what you are struggling to describe at various times.... Hugs

Yes, @Jacques - so hot here today too - got to 38C here today - my weather ap says it is still 35C & feels like 39C! Had an air con fan on - it came with the cabin, but the air con doesnt work - only fan, an evaporator cooler we got the other day at the tip shop for $10 (which at the moment is still outside) & the new industrial fan we got - we can't let the kittens in the bedroom, as they can't have babies under the bed... my partner put wood around the bottom of the lounge & the TV table last weekend - I think when most people breed cats they put them in the bathroom when they are close & alas no bathroom!

Did anyone watch the 3 part series First Contact? I really enjoyed it - I feel I have more empathy for indigenous Australians now.....

Sorry, I'm rambling a bit - I'm also got tooth pain, muscle tension pain & I have had a headache for 3 days (first day was a low grade migraine) - I'm so over taking all these painkillers for dental pain - it's not good for the body..... sigh... I'm really struggling emotionally, but don't even have the energy to put a lot in words PLUS it is Friday FEAST - yay for pumpkin soup in real life & virtual pizza!

Hi @Shaz51 hugs...

Ahimsa - Namaste,

Anna

Hi @Shaz51

hope the results are in soon and all is ok!

Hi @MoonGal

@CherryBomb Holidays seem surreal. My lil boy has surgery in January, other than that no plans. Kids will most likely be at their dads for xmas though.

Yes it has been nice to have warm weather. been able to go to various playgrounds after work with the kids has been good.

@Former-Member

I watched that documentary last two nights. It was interesting, a real eye opener. And I did get upset when hearing about the stolen children. It just made me really sad.

Hi @Shaz51 hope everything goes well for you with the specialist. I have to see a gyno next thursday to see what he;ll do about my cyst, fibroids and missing mirena IUD. Realy stressed, not helping my anxiety.

Hi @Former-Member hope you are doing okay? xxxooo

Hi @Jacques hope you're okay too.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi @BlueBay

i'm kind of ok. just nothing really matters.

I have a mirena.. its well past over due for coming out. my dr put it in as soon as she could after my lil guy was born because i didnt want another bub and it was the only way i could really be sure i wouldnt have to have another one (my ex decided everything including taking away medications/pill when he decided). should look into it... hope that yours is found and easy to remove. Have also had cysts but didnt need to do anything about them thankfully. hopefully good news from Gynocologist next week.

@Former-Member I used to teach in a community on the APY lands, about 500kms south and west of Alice springs. The grandparents of my school children who were in their 50's only saw their first Piramba (white fella) when they were in their teens/early adulthood. They were pretty amazing people.
