Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Smc .... that’s what faith says ......

Fog is thick and heavy at the moment.

Goodmight ..... 😴💕

Hi Hot Chocolatiers.

Rather too quiet & feeling isolated at this end, for the past few days.

A social hot choccy would be good...

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

It sounds like many people have had a somewhat demanding or stressful time, over this season.

Me too, but largely due to lack of family connection - rather than because of it.

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope

The Mayor was there for the whole lunch (like last year), because she is their main supportor (or sponsor).

I told her that I was impressed that she always came, when I'm sure that she has other things that she would rather go to (on Christmas day).

She said to me that she would not want to be anywhere else.

I had a Iranian couple at my table, who coincidentally said that they live in the exact same suburb as me (although I didn't find out where).

That sort of thing doesn't happen very often (for me).

Brief hello @Adge@Faith-and-Hope

Am about to head to bed, so won't be around for chatting. Have had a lazy day. Too hot to do anything outside apart from making sure that our little menagerie, the potplants and the tomatoes don't collapse from thirst. Lotsa time mucking around on the computer in between. Will have to see if I can be a bit more productive tomorrow... which is of course very dependent on me getting reasonable sleep.

@Adge Your Christmas lunch does sound like it was interesting, but I guess it's not the same as spending it with close friends or relatives. Sometimes it's a pity the forums are anonymous, or we might be able to have some real get togethers- but there's the plusses of privacy too... hard call sometimes.

@Faith-and-Hope; I'd love to be able to meet up with you when you move over to this half, and maybe help cushion your arrival. I'll have to just trust that there will be others who'll do that for you.

Thank you so much @Smc ......

I reached a resolution today that appears to be our way forward. I will tag you if you like.

💜

@Faith-and-Hope, please do.
