i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Its about 12.35am right now, and I cannot sleep. Thought I'd drop into the Beer Garden to see if anybody was about. I will just sit in the corner with a hot milk for now. I dont really want company, but I dont really want to be alone either. Silly huh? I guess I dont know what I want right now.

@Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @TAB
Your company overnight was very much appreciated. Even though I wasnt talking! Just knowing that someone was around, was enough. So ... thanks heaps.
No I didnt get to sleep, and here I still sit .... weary eyed, anxious and dead tired. Would really like to start the day all over again. Ah, actually take that back ........ I dont. I want the day gone in fact. I want tomorrow to be here, or next week instead. Maybe by then I will feel better than I do now.
Today is going to be a hard day. Not because there is anything particular on, because there isnt. I just feel so damed awful. I dont really know where to start, what to do.
The Beer Garden is quiet now, so maybe I will just curl up and while away the day here.

ΟMorning @Former-Member @Former-Member ..... 💕
When I am having a blah day, I call it a pyjama day, whether I'm in pyjamas or not, and take the day off .... as much as I can get away with it around here, that is ....
I have been known to go out in actual pyjamas on pyjama days .... but they have to be pyjamas that resemble real clothes, enhanced by a scarf and boots or something, but that's about it .... 😌
I am not alone in this endeavour .... I have seen people in Mickey Nouse pyjamas or Onesies in our local super,Arles, albeit after about 7pm .... adult people that is .... 😏
What else I will do on pyjama days is make a list of three things .... that's the deal with pyjama days .... and even if I don't achieve the three things, I am obliged to try.
The three things might be -
1️⃣. Put a load of washing through the machine.
2️⃣. Give myself a sponge bath and change underwear.
3️⃣. Make dinner.
One of the three things has to be a self-care item ..... ✅
Oh, and I have to eat ..... even if it's a bag of nuts or savoury biscuits, banana, something that has food value .... ✅
It's what I call "having a day" ..... And "running raids on the housekeeping from my room" ....✅
❤️☕️ .... Coffee ?
