@Former-Member, thanks for comforting me. It helps. 🙂
I'm trying not to stress, but it's getting concerning. Three days no proper sleep...
At least you slept well, that's important. 🙂

Re: The Beer Garden
Hi B-Garden Company 🍻
Good to find you all chatting here, but i have a confession to make, I do feel at a loss trying to keep up with where everyone's at across the forums, whats going on with each of you, & remembering etc, apologies, kind of just have to be more in the moment, hope thats ok.
@Faith-and-Hope, and all B-Garden Co, Sounds wonderful walking the seaside river. Waiting for the dolphins. An pelicans are so graceful to watch flying. The sky you describe also sounds magical. Wish i was there, could do with a walking buddy. Did you see any dolphins? Thanks for sharing, been a bit cooped up lately.
Actually have a sense of disconnect the last two days, like I'm not really here. Don't know what i feel, if anything, but trying not to stress about it.
Overcast ⛅ the last 2 days, and cold☁ even here in SE Qld. Watered the dry garden today, nice to see the daisies flowering & daffadils 🐥🌼🌸🌼
Saw a rat on the veranda today 😲, really worried they've got inside my old house😟. Definately have mice inside, got the mouse bate out to spread around - they had already found it & chewed through 1/2 the box 😕. Bit of a plague this year I've heard.
Anyway, this reformed 💪 alcoholic will have to have a Lemon Lime & Bitters tonight, in front of an open fire🔥 Bottoms up!
💜🌷💜🌷💜

Re: The Beer Garden
One for me too @Former-Member ❣
I use the notifications to help keep up where others are at, but it's not that any of us can be with the flow all the time. @Decadian was saying the other day that the easiest way is probably just to look up a thread here and there, and join in for a while if you feel like it, and get a bit of a feel for what is being chatted about.
We probably all get each other's stories a bit mixed up here and there too, but that's okay. A little bit of patience and communication sorts that out ......
It takes time to get to know each other, and some of us spend more time here than others.
It's good to "see" you 😊

Re: The Beer Garden
Yeah, @Former-Member, I miss messages too, but I usually check emails to check if someone has tagged my name in reply. Maybe just a suggestion?

Re: The Beer Garden
I just need a wee nightcap. It's been an immensely busy day with in excess of 8 kms just around the workplace. My body is complaining from head to toe and stiffening up by the second.
I'm not complaining. It is really good to be needed and respected just as I am. However I lowered my standards toďay. I was included in a discussion that really wasn't appropriate. It was a good old bitching session. The comments were clearly targeted at two people. I didn't participate in any way and I also failed to intervene by expressing my opinion that the conversation had crossed that line between what is acceptable and what is not.
I'll have a quiet chat with my supervisor tomorrow morning. It does however beg the question where the line lies between what comes under the 'not dobbing' concept and what any responsible person should report to prevent the situation becoming damaging to the people being targeted and to the organisation. I have always stood up for the underdog. I let myself down badly today.
