Seeing doctors when you don't leave the flat?

i just can't imagine liquorice and tea together, you are braver than me, one time i had a coffe with hazelnut syrup it was ok, but just plane coffee for me.

@Appleblossomi have a book on Australian history it is 20cm thick, it is huge, i have read the first 3 pages i think, you need a table to support it, it is so heavy.

@Jacques@Mazarita

I love coffee and drink herbal tea over that weird dishwater Australian stuff.

It must be the mongrel in me. In the year before she died my mother mentioned that I had an Australian accent in such a reproachful manner. I never picked on her about hers. ah well

Another little misunderstanding. I dont know much Oz history. I did physics and chem at school and cos dad was isolated and died had no Aussie rellies. I was meaning new contemporary small 1 - 1.5 cm wide books in Ozlit like

"The Eye of the Sheep"

"The Rosie Project"

"The Swan Book"

"Swallow the air"

"A Fortunate Life"

"Everyman's rules for scientific living"

and classics by Thea Astley, Elizabeth Harrower, Tim Winton.

I'm a dreadful nerd or aspie even when I am not even doing science. PS I am practising my Oistralian even more now mum's gone.

Maybe it could be a new area called literary therapy and world for some. I know narrative therapy started in Australia.

Yes good italian coffee for me, strong espresso, mmmmmmmm

lol no misunderstanding @Appleblossom, i was just telling you about my book on Australian history, i feel ashamed i don't know much about Australia, i used to be right into Germany where my family is from, never thought about Australia's history.

i thought reading was thereputic, it is for me, can't beat a good book.

sorry to pry @Appleblossom but where does your family come from, (please don't answer if it is uncomfortable to talk about), sorry just curious?

yes @Mazarita

I'm finding my favourite writing style ......

I feel sick bad naughty that ive done barely anything these last two weeks. Ive done hardly any cleaning, ive read only one Ruth Rendell Book. Ive laid around staring into space, going to bed like all the time.

About 4 years ago, i went to California where i discovered liquorice tea. Def. Not a herbal tea drinker but liquorice tea. Wow. I bought up and came home only to find it heaps cheaper here.....lol

I hear you with the not doing much @PeppiPatty. I feel sick bad naughty too. Lol to finding liquorice tea cheaper here. Cool that we are both fans of that sweet flavour. 🙂

@Jacques

One side is from The Netherlands and the other Australian. Most of my relatives were Dutch as they were good breeders. Dad took me to the footy once. Yippee.

@PeppiPatty@Mazarita

I like liquorice tea too.

Know an American lady whose sister bought it for her but she didnt like it. It said on the packet not good for hypertension, but it was too yummy to throw away. I am very frugal, so I drank it every time visited her. til it was gone.

@Appleblossom

I got a big laugh at you saying the dutch are good breeders, my mothers side are dutch and my fathers side from germany most of the dutch side had 8+ children.

hi @PeppiPatty

you should not feel so bad, i have done the same as you but for the past 6 months, seem to find it so hard to find any motivation. i am sure your mood will change soon and things will hopfully feel better.

thinking of you

Take care

Jacques

Good morning....i havent gone overboard on Sane for a few days but have been thinking about @WombatBoots @Former-Member my friends an @Chris @Scorpian @CrazyBugLady @SimpleAsThat

An heaps of others like i cant list everyone

But because of life, etc......

Do you think we could maybe help each other on beginning something?

I would really like to start writing again ( journal )and when i was living with my darling ex husband i found some writing where instead of....writing of all the stress, there wa S only a little mention of it.....i wrote of just the people and things hPpening around me.

What do you think ?

Is it too hard? Could we do something individually and seperate but inspiring just for ourzelves?
