Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Evening all,

Just a quick fly by before bed feeling quite weary, it has been a long day. I left home around 6:30 this morning and did not get home until after 6 this evening 😴😪 was hoping for a quiet day on the work front, no such luck lol.

That's a marathon day @Determined. Hope you get a good rest tonight.

Woodstove's up and burning- had soup for dinner. 🙂 Not made today... a batch that I'd had in the freezer. Nice nevertheless.

Heading down to "The Big Smoke" tomorrow to have an early Mothers' Day lunch with older daughter. She's been lonely and was pretty upset about the possibility of not seeing us on Sunday, so this is a reasonable compromise. And the restaurant she was keen on taking us to another time will be open. Younger daughter will be missing a day of school to go with us.

Bit tense about it. Is a lot of driving... and older is still having trouble coping with being out and about too. Hope it will be a good day regardless.

I'm glad my response was helpful @Appleblossom

Yes maybe those sort of people are in music & science groups, but I've been verbally attacked by them in other settings also.

They don't seem to realise that no "truth" is worth insulting or belittling someone for.

No matter how important the message is (that they've got) - if it's delivered in an aggressive or demeaning manor, no one will hear it (or want to hear it).

True respect would lead them to back off.

I love Guinea Fowl @Former-Member@Appleblossom I don't see them often, I think they're gorgeous...

I saw some Red-Faced Parrot-Finches (my Avatar picture) for sale yesterday.

I was so tempted...

They're my favourite finch, & I haven't had any (in my aviaries) for a few years.

Because they're a bit hard to get, only available at 3 of the largest bird outlets (long drives away).

Adge

Why didnt you grab a couple @Adge, that would be a nice gift for yourself. Just do it!

Thanks @Former-Member

It's the "frugal" (poor) side of me that says "you cannot afford that", or "it's a waste of money"...

Even when it comes to hobbies or interests that I'm passionate about & enjoy.

Those "You cannot have that", & "you don't deserve it" thoughts spoil all my fun & enjoyment...

Really they don't cost very much - one parrot-finch cost about as much as 2 Budgies.

As with many types of finch (& even parrots), they will only sell you a pair (not just one).

Adge

If it is possible and will give joy I'd say go for it too @Adge but I am also careful about encouraging others to spend money. I am listening to lots of Lennon Sisters from @Former-Member 's link. Thanks for a cheery night.

Hey @Former-Member @Smc @Faith-and-Hope

We had a racism incident on our train coming home tonight it was interesting how it all panned out ... no harm done tho.

Cheers Apple

Morning everyone and happy friday - I felt like going a bit extravegent this morning and have got marshmellows in my hot chocolate today!
