Hello and welcome come in it is lovely to see you all here again. The fires are lit the cushions are plumped up and we have the coffee and tea on the go and the cakes and sweets are all set out. Paul and his guests are all here and they are enjoying the warmth , food and drinks. We have tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.
If we were having Coffee: I would tell you how excited I am to be joining Just Gene’o and Diana’s “If we were having coffee” weekend at and also at . I am very proud to be part of his weekend as I have been doing a Sunday Coffee get together for a good while now and my good friend Paul Curran has be a very welcome guest poster having his own coffee get together alongside mine! Check Gene’O’s, If we were having coffee weekend , out at https://parttimemonster.wordpress.com/2015/01/10/if-we-were-having-coffee-the-inaugural-weekend-coffee-share/
I cannot Tweet my coffee post Gene’O because I do not Tweetin …a step to far, so far for me! 🙂
If we were having Coffee: I would offer you the beverage of your choice and of course some of our out of this world cakes, pastries all calorie free.
Then on a sober note I would have to say how saddened I have been by this last weeks acts of Terror in France. I have no doubt you are all as shocked as I am. I wrote a post on the attack on the Charlie Hebdo Office in Paris . I wrote my feeling on the subject in my post Je Suis Charlie , sadly the blood shed did not end there as the murders had accomplices who started up diversionary tactics you can read about these here and the end of the siege involving the two remaining men from the original massacre . here .
If we were having Coffee: I would have to say how saddened I am by the world, the human race that is. We are no better than we were first crawling and creeping on a virgin planet. So far we have learned nothing. Like spoiled children we wage war, hurt each other, some have it all some nothing but we have not learned to love, share or even be kind! We have ruined our planet and left an awful legacy to our children and grandchildren.
If we were having Coffee: I would have to say sorry I am getting a tad heavy! Okay ..No more lets have some cake and maybe a liqueur Coffee we can make any type you desire!
If we were having coffee: I would have to ask are you still keeping up your New Years Resolutions? Well I started back at the gym last Monday and my friend and I have signed up for extra ‘Core Lessons’ and we have paid for them so that is an incentive ! So I have been at the gym everyday this week….. eek! Also Friday my Pilates classes started and Saturday morning my usual Core Class started after a three week Christmas break! To be honest I am sitting here typing and aching all over! But I must just think of the good it will do me.
The Husband is still not back up to par but he did have a larger operation than expected, and he did insist that we all still went away f0r Christmas when really he would of done better to stay home and rest. I am not complaining I have really enjoyed looking after him. It is a way of showing him how much I appreciate everything he did for me when I came out of hospital and had to learn to walk again.
If we were having coffee: I would tell you all to make yourselves at home go and chat to Paul’s guest and to Gene’O’s and Diana’s friends too. I look forward to chatting with you all!

IF WE WERE HAVING COFFEE: THE INAUGURAL WEEKEND COFFEE SHARE
over at Part Time Monster and Gene’O’s
Flaming coffee looks fantastic!
Yes it does nice and with a kick! ❤
Wow Willow, sounds like you are serious about getting fit – congratualtions. I am so pleased that you got away for a rest at Christmas. You deserved it. I agree that the terrorism is horrible and those who have done it should be punished to the full extent of the law – it is sad that humans have to be so hurtful to each other.
Your post is great as usual! Have a wonderdul weekend.
I am very determined to be fit and healthy this year! I have already said so much on the terrorism that I feel I had better not say anymore but it has deeply affected me . I am glad you liked the post Paul , and I wish you a very good weekend too! 🙂
Ah, the weather is so wet and raw here, the cheery coffee cup with the little bear face is so welcomed. A little warmth is badly need after this week. An attack on those only crime is the use of words hit us all so hard.
Exercise is good for mind, body, and soul. Applause for your dedication ( and paying ahead – that is wise!)
We are always please to help people relax and warm up! I am still so sad for those touched by the acts of terror! Yes exercise is good for the body and soul! Do drop by any weekend coffee is always on the go! 🙂 xxx
V impressive the exercise regime. Mine comprises walking the dog and looking at a yoga mat over a slice of cake. Maybe tomorrow…
Well having nearly been confined to a wheelchair , being told to use it or loose it is a big stick or is that carrot? What would Julian and Sandie think? xxxx
