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 !!!

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Hi Shaz , I do have a fur baby cat, she is lovely and I love her a lot. Her name is Cleo.and she follows me around like a shadow. She is very comforting.

As for hobbies, I love to read and when I am not feeling great settling in to a good book is an escape valve from how I'm feeling. I am grateful to be able to read as I know when you're not well with mental health issues it's difficult to concentrate and read

I am also in the process of crocheting a rug for my daughter. It's taking me a while as I'm not always motivated but I keep going back to it and I'm getting there with it

What about you? Do you have a fur baby and do you have hobbies. Love and hugs, roses 🌹

DId not watch it back then Little brother ruled the tv shows. @TAB Ha ha they spoke better Australian than those who lived around me! Even some chopsticks. All the great themes: runaway child, communes, pubs and sheep. Actually glad I watched it as it deals with ward of state stuff and I was about his age. still putting together my life.

@roses Hi. Good to see you.

@Dimity I have been thinking of doing the train.

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

never watched that one @Appleblossom was ABC soap ? like in country town ?

Re: Saturday Soiree - all welcome!!

Yep @TAB I just knew of its existence, but my brother did not approve. lol

Apparently there is a movie now. It was interesting to see the commune - farming types...

One good thing is recently the polarisation of those groups is reducing ... sometimes ...

You have a lot of fixed ideas @TAB I try and work around it all ...no longer taking other people's stuff personally. Earned it by simply surviving.
