The Weekly Friday Feast

[Jacques]

It is so heart breaking to try to help 2 people daily of SI and SH, such beautiful people who are worthy of being alive and happy, i try my hardest to help and they are mindful i am struggling too, one girls story is so heart breaking, i wish i could tell her story but it would violate the rules, so i will not.

we are getting to around 5-6 degrees of a night, it is unusually warm for this time of year, we are usually into the -2 to -5 by now, how is it in the blue mountians? is it snowing yet?

Yes, i love curling up with my hot water bottle, doona and sleeping bag. it is so cosy.

Yes, so sad to see the news 😞 it makes me so down to see how cruel and hate filled people are, being abused when i was a child it does not shock me, but it is a shame people can't allow others to live their lives.

I hate the news, but feel compelled to watch it, i just need to know, but at the same time it pushes me to turn away from society and away from humanity. sometimes i am so glad i am Agrophobic, i can avoid people and be safe in my own home.

What kind of festival are you going to @CherryBomb?  

I just tried to answer your updates email but am getting a message saying I don't have enough privelages to access that area.

@mrkotter still, I'm impressed with your efforts to get something fast and healthy! I don't know about you, but the winter time makes me crave comfort food - rich and quite unhealthy food.

@BlueBay ain't nothing wrong with maccas here and there!

Hi @Former-Member and @Jacques terrible stuff we're seeing in the news. Though, remember the news tends to tell stories that will sell. For the news, it seems the more tragic or conflictual a story is, the more is will be amplified in the airwaves. With all the tragedy, I find a balance is needed. Switching the news off, going out into the world and seeing that there is beauty out there.

@eth This weekend is the Blue Mountains Winter Festival - the winter solstice is this week! Hooray, looking forward to longer days! Will email you about accessing the updates thread. 

@Jacques it's not too called yet. Apparently the snow happens in July... eeep! I'll be sure to post pics. The other morning though the grass was crunchy as I walked on it - frozen cold!

Tonight I have chicken soup that my friend bought over for me last night. She hounded me when I didn't reply. Grateful to have a friend bring soup when unwell💜

[Former-Member]

Me too Teeg, Chicken Vegie Soup with lots of spices & garlic bread. How are you unwell well? Feel better soon 🎵

[CherryBomb]

@Former-Member friends that bring over soup are wonderful. Was it homemade? - Not that I'd complain. I had a friend bring over canned soup when I was unwell, and was so grateful. It's when you're sick that it's hard to cook, yet alone to get down to the shops. 

Mmmm, I love the addition of garlic bread @Former-Member. 

What are you up to this weekend? Can you believe the winter soltice is nearly here. Winter is half-way! 

[Former-Member]

Wrote a message on my phone & lost it... Basically stressful & exhausting week - insomnia has returned & anxiety very high...

[Former-Member]

Yes @CherryBomb. It was homemade.💜  And you just scared me with the winter solstice, wow this year is going fast for someone who doesnt do much😊

I've just had the same experience @Former-Member

It's turned me in to a grumble bum again! Since I've got to work tomorrow as well I'm just not a happy chappie right now. I'll give myself a kick in a minute and all will be well!
