Thursday Coffee and Chat -- 30th April 2026

Hello @Cat34 

how are you going today my friend 

Hi @Shaz51 . Contemplating a coffee while  work on defrosting 1/2 sized freezer. Too much in 2 drawers can’t get open ha ha! Haven’t got the space  (tiny kitchen) for a proper frost free freezer. Would love to make it bigger. But renovations are so expensive. Enjoy your coffee. 

Hi @Shaz51 

How has your day been?

hello @Lapis_Anteater

Hi @Shaz51 

Good to see you too 😊. Everything is going better. I had a driving lesson today after months of not driving. It went better than expected. How have you been?

Hi @Shaz51 Just had a coffee while defrosting my impossible freezer. My helper filled up the drawers and I can’t open 2 of the 3 drawers. Is taking forever. It’s a bit of a dilemma because pouring boiling water on drawers is a bit of a problem because I have wooden floors. Put a thick towel on the floor. Having a break before trying again.

@GezzaP , have you got a floor fan to blow the air in the freezer to melt the ice 

 had a driving lesson today after months of not driving. It went better than expected. --- that is soo good @Lapis_Anteater 😎

I am ok, lots of aches and pains today and feeling tired but we did 8,600 steps yesterday 

have you seen a Eastern tube-nosed bat that we rescued from our shed 

@FearofUnknown , @Realness 

Yes thanks for the tip. Is impossible job. Really bad. @Shaz51 

@Shaz51 I wanna snoogle the bat

How's mr Shaz? And you?

@Shaz51 dear Shazzy, thanks for warm coffee and peace wishes. Hope you're well and the little bat is okay.

@Meowmy. @DogMan79 , @GezzaP , @Lapis_Anteater , @Cat34 

The bat flew away that night by itself 

And did not have to take him to the vet the next day 

Well done for saving them! ❤️ 

Hi @Shaz51 ,

The photos of the bat are amazing. We're you scared?  I'm scared of bats.

Hope things are going okay for you and Mr Shaz.

Life my end is good. I've been immersed in books - great escapism.

Hello @Lostbookworm ,😊

 @Realness , we wrapped the bat in a teatowel and let him recover through the day 

OK here , fingers crossed 🤞 Mr shaz is a bit better today 

@Meowmy , @DogMan79 , @GezzaP , @Lapis_Anteater 

How are you ☺️ @Lostbookworm , @FridgeMagnet 

@Shaz51 hey hunny how are you going?xx

Hi all

Quick fly by 

Trust everyone is well as can be. 

Busy week here with work and life. 

Hello @Determined , @Bunniekins 😊

Just had dinner 

@tyme  @Lostbookworm , @Realness , @Meowmy 

Hello @Shaz51 @Determined @Bunniekins @Lostbookworm @Realness 

Hope everyone has had a pleasant day.

I'm checking out an Art Therapy group tomorrow

About half an hour by bus. Which is the closest biggish town

I studied Fine Arts decades ago. But have never done formal Arts Therapy, which is a whole different animal

Dunno if it'll work out. My honours degree kinda taught me to be overly critical. I no longer know how to interact with people making their own art

Soz @Shaz51 my day just finished and I’m tucked in bed and looking forward to a big sleep 

@Shaz51 I made myself a cappuccino with my coffee machine today. While it is more involved than just throwing a sachet in a mug, it certainly tastes better!

I hope your Thursday has been good x
