Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Well hello to anyone who's discovered this new thread .... and welcome!!!

For some time I've noticed things are a bit quiet on a Saturday, especially in the evening. So this will be a social gathering for all forumites and hopefully a place to relax and meet friends. It's also a place where you can talk about whatever's going on for you at the moment, safely, and find support.

If you want to bring something to eat or drink that would be welcome, whatever makes you happy.

Actually that may be a good place to start - jump in anywhere and let us know one thing that makes you happy - currently or over time.

Really looking forward to finding a posse to hang with on a Saturday.

L E T ' S P A R T Y !!!

EDIT : Do feel free to contribute some music too. Of any style. The more the merrier ...

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hi again! @Shaz51 @Angels333 @Adge @Former-Member I'll be back for a while.

There was to be another writers festival broadcast at 4 but it's been cancelled.

The one I listened to already was a man's take on the #metoo movement. It contained a lot of interesting history about masculine/feminine roles in society, but I switched it off about half way through. It's all very well doing an academic analysis of all that (and apparently supporting and validating womens' experiences), but as someone who has lived through the extremes of being damaged (physically and mentally) by males and females and also knowing some males who've been abused by females, I found it hard at times. The whole premise was just so binary and neglected to acknowledge abuse by women or abuse within the LGBTQIA+ parts of our society.

Just a little light commentary for a Saturday afternoon. But that's where my head's been at the last couple of hours. @Appleblossom and @Adge it would have been interesting to discuss it with you too. And anyone else reading here who resonates with the topic.

And now for something completely different ......

Sorry if my last post was a bit heavy folks. I guess I was debriefing myself as much as anything.

@TAB I've a feeling you'd like this one!

Hey @eth glad to have you back this afternoon. I've been busy in the kitchen cooking those falafel balls, they're just in the oven now. Will be an early dinner for us we'll have salad on the side.

Hey @eth

I have PTSD from trauma from CSA I don't think I could watch/listen to a discourse on that topic easily either.

Hugs ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

You get it @Angels333 . I figured there'd be a few of us felt that way.

I had a yummy surprise - my bro made a delicious pumpkin soup for a late lunch. So good.

Hey @Isabelle sorry I missed tagging you. Hope your afternoon is going well.

Hey @Shaz51 , it was warm and sunny this morning. Went for a walk on the beach (of course maintaining social distancing plus) day in the car while my ex did the shopping I needed and now want to nap 😂

How was your day my💖

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Nice one @TAB . One of the coolest gigs I ever went to was Bo Didley at the Darwin Amphitheatre in about 1976. My dad made me go!
