Get well soon Paul
Hello everyone I am sorry to announce that out dear friend Paul Curran is not well enough this week to host his own If we were having Coffee get together. I am sure you will join me in wishing him well and a speedy recovery. Now all of you are very welcome to join my gathering. I cannot offer you exciting and inspirational stories or the funny antidotes he comes up with, mined from his rich and amazing life. I can however off you coffee cakes and more and a warm welcome and chit chat.
If we were having coffee:The weather is getting distinctly wintry, fogs, rain, frost and cold so lets all go inside and be comfy by the fire. Paul and I can still entertain you all with 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 remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster
Do join in
If we were having coffee : I would tell you it has been a very busy week full of funeral and floral arrangements, my sister M’s Funeral is this coming Tuesday. It has been a very sad time full of lovely emails and phone calls from all types of people who’s lives she had touched.
If we were having coffee : I would ask you what I can get you to drink or eat, and say lets change the subject. As I was saying it has been a busy week but I did manage to take Thursday off and go into the nearest town with my friend L , we a bus ride, and a coffee and cake and a long chat setting the world to rights. We also went to the gym twice this week and on Friday I went back to my Pilates class, I have missed two weeks ( since M died I just could not get on with the normal ) Slowly I am getting there!
If we were having coffee : It was Halloween this weekend and I can tell you now that it is getting really big business over here. Suddenly it is very popular and everyone was busy celebrating it ! Here are some amazing photos from one of my neighbour’ s garden!
Scary in the dark!
Witches to greet you
Inviting you to lunch!
I think they have been waiting a long time
The warthogs look better fed
Don’t recommend the service here!
OH! the witch is off!!
On an other more serious note , some of the costumes being sold for children to wear are extremely dangerous and children have been seriously burned. So there are campaigns for safer costumes that are fire retardant. Read here and especially here . Not nice so be careful out there!
If we were having Coffee: I would have to say that I really have to go now as today has been a mish mash of looking after unwell cats, and my friend who is having problems with her daughter. If you remember I have written about her problems and the hospital she has been in and out of . All I can do is listen and just be there for them when I can.
