rough time

You didn't tag me lil Sis @outlander!!

Tommorow's coffee meet is for a depression support group I've been involved with for about 4months. Just one guys runs it all, but I can do whatever meets I think are suitable. So I also do a walk & crochet/
knitting group (no one has turned up to last two meets).

The other organisation is kinda similar but more geared towards social inclusion of anyone. I do more activities with this group,buch each meet is often different people. Some meets you get the same turn up.Meets I have for this organisation include a monthly games & pizza night, assisting with technology, aromatherapy, walks, and occasional other things.

Between the two organisations I do about one or two meets a week of about two hours.

Jasper is being very sooky but adorable. Mr A is outside & showing no signs of wanting to come back in. Nearly dark here.

Sounds great sis. Sounds like they are both good to be apart of @Sans911

They are both cute! Mr sounds like hes enjoying his time outside. Is jasper allowed outside yet?

Jasper is a mostly white cat with pink nose and ears. He can never go outside for any extended periods due to the risk of developing skin cancers. Besides, I've never trained him to be comfortable with a harness and leash. He freaks out if I put one on him. Mr A is inside now. Little bit of running around. Not much yet.

It'll be pretty hard on Mr A when I move. He won't be able to go out for at least a week or so, and because the yard is so small, he can easily jump the fences. Apart from shortening his leash, haven't worked out an exact strategy to contain him.

I see @Sans911 best he stays more indoors then.

Itll be an adjustment for Mr A too but he will be alright. Itll take time for you all to settle into the new place.

If I end up building a catio or outdoor enclosure Jasper might be able to go out for short periods like late afternoon.

Mr A is fast asleep on the bed now. He was outside for a lot of time today. Jasper must be bug hunting again.

I just got a random question I want to ask you. Do you or can you cook? What are you good at? Maybe I've asked this before.

@outlander

Jaspers easily amused lol @Sans911

That is a very random question! What made you think of that?
Yes i do cook i have been since i was taught in yr 9. My forte is sweet things except pavlova. Still havent gotten that yet and that damn caramel slice. I will though. But i will cook pretty much anything.
What about you?

I don't know. It came from nowhere! I guess we (and other forum members) rarely talk about the mundane everydayness of our lives. Well @Zoe7 does talk about what she has for dinner, @Snowie and I say we're having or got to arrange dinner. You talk about your work routines sometimes. I talk about my volunteer work. So I guess I was curious.

I'm a fairly simple cook. If I'm cooking for others though I make a lot of effort. I'm not a great dessert or sweet cook. Probably because I'd eat the whole damn lot!

I have never been able to make sauces like gravy, custard, casserole sauces. For me, they're always lumpy. But I do like cooking from scratch. And if I follow a recipe, it usually turns out OK.

Mmm, still figuring out from what left field that came from! 😊@outlander

I have a wicked sweet tooth lil Sis @outlander. I've managed to temper it a little bit, but I do love most sweet things. I often have a peice of dark chocolate at night. Sometimes my medications leaves a bitter taste so it helps with that.

I try to eat fruit to help with my sweet tooth, but I'm not too consistent. I usually have fruit & Greek yoghurt with my breakfast. I've only done that for a couple of years.

I've tried your suggestion on several occasions with no luck. I must be doing something wrong, so I gave up.

Is your pop easy to cook for, or is he fussy about food?

My pop is shocking to cook for @Sans911 it drives me crazy sometimes! If its out of a tin hes usually fine but that isnt nutrious either. My eating habits are right out of whack anyway so we are both just as bad as each other.

I remember you meantioning gross tasting medications. I actually have one that tastes like a lolly.

Hmm try melting dark chocolate and dip strawberries in it let it set and youve got something both sweet and pretty healthy too. Some use other fruits too but i havent tried them.

You sound like me with caramel my god its not even suppose to be that hard!
