    af day Tues 12 Feb

    Quick call to the new morning - look below at what I was greeted with at breakfast. No Lavande, these are not flying pigs - so stick to your flightless chickens (I know a great story from Ghana about why chickens are flightless - its a parable for strong women and mother love - believe it or not - will post it when I can find it).
    here's my sensible link:
    Wild About New Zealand ~ Silvereye/Waxeye

    we call these waxeyes - although they were a bird that was introduced here. I must have had around 50 in my garden a few minutes ago!

    I slept longer than usual - nights starting to get longer (aha I must have some melatonin reserves!) plus I was tired. I also had anxiety dreams but they were about work related matters and not AL. And I woke up and thought - life is not as bad as those weird dreams. So Kuya and others - thats one way of putting a positive spin on the dreams. Its when we process stuff in our subconscious and for me, they can work as a 'clearing house'.

    Kia ora Patrice! Welcome here. I did a holiday years ago in Malaysia - it was AF - easy as I was pregnant and most places we were in did not serve AL. Are you part of an 'expat' sort of scene? I know how hard that can be with drinkies in that context - I was an expat in other countries for at least 8 years - quite lonely at times and drank too many G and Ts and other variations of the poison.

    Have a great Abby day - Det, Mollyka, Teezah, others. I see many of you are alive and doing soberly great as as you are posting on other threads - so thats all good.
    Ta Ta for Now.

    dreadful joke
    I was telling G. about the birds (waxeyes). I said I am not sure what the correct name is - and he said 'or as cats, call them 'smorgasbord'!

          Posting in the future here :H

          Been having issues with internet but wanted to try once more and thought I'd post here.

          My son shared a post on FB and I thought it was too long to post here so started a thread.

          See you in "my" morning.....PPQP

            Thanks for the welcome all - TT Kuya Blondie Porqoui et al

            TT = yes it is the expat scene here as with the G&T but here where I am it's not too bad.. I previously lived in a dry Islamic country which is where my alcohol abuse got truly out of control.. I had never drunken so much in my life. At parties people didn't bring wine or beer but Voddy and Gin and drank it all to combat the boredom

            I hope everyone has a fab day. Its CNY here so a week off school!! Yay

              Checking in. Lots going on. We are finally moving to the part of town I have always wanted to live in.

              Found it interesting.....that I met three people today....who do not know me (met them for the first time today).....and casually mentioned that they don't drink. I guess it does come in 3's...but, it was odd. I just knew something greater than myself was sealing the deal

                Morning Affers

                Just confusing myself by posting on yesterday's thread today. But there was convo about curry and I had to dip in with my poppadom :H

                How are we all? Yep, see the NZ contingent growing fast! :welcome: Patrice. Today, other than getting the car fixed (expensive wee bugger that it is) I am doing reading for Uni... trying to get a wee bit ahead with this this week while I am off work.... Which is exactly what I'll be doing afore me morning porridge.

                Catch youse laters ...

                  Good morning Abbers!

                  Just dropping by to say hello & happy fat Tuesday

                  i'm off to watch kids until my son gets home from work later this morning. Then I'll be back here & at work myself.

                  TT, that sure is a pretty little bird, have never seen anything like that over here! I do have a few chickens that are able to fly over the fence around their yard. They like the greener grass on teh other side :H Of course they don't realize they are putting their lives on the line for a snack :H

                  Greetings Kuya, blondie, PQ, Patrice, SF & RC!
                  I hope everyone has a wonderful AF Tuesday!

                    Morning Fabbers....internet was @$@%*( yesterday. Glad to hear it wasn't just me!

                    TT...thanks for kicking us off. Was having a fabulous sleep, no dreams (that I can remember) till my two computer nerds got into a screaming match over Linux and Windows at 2 am. Well at least being up at that time wasn't drink induced. :H Surprised the neighbours didn't come banging on the door.

                    KY...more Kiwi's...geesh, going to have to get the "urban dictionary" out again.

                    Blondie...still haven't figured out how to shorten your name. Could I relate to your &$*%*% post. I did the same thing to three people at work and had the shittiest weekend. Stress, anxiety, panic attack till I faced the music on Monday and all got sorted. Hope things turned out ok for you.

                    Patrice...my twin sister used to live in Notting Hill. She married a London Bobby which opened up the door to international travel to me. Brought back lots of good memories. Enjoy your day.

                    SF...you sound happily busy and very positive. What a great line"I just knew something greater than myself was sealing the deal" May have to steal that for my signature line. The one thought that went through my mind was "I wonder if they're recoverying alocoholics". Enjoy your new adventure.

                    RC.. thank you for thinking that was worth reposting, had to nip off to Stella's after your last post, EX-BENEDICT :H:H

                    Lav...they do keep you young don't they. Happy fat tuesday to you...is it really fat tuesday?

                    Off to get my second cup...seems I have more time on my hands not having to read the joke novel eeky: He's not lurking is he?

                    Have a great AF Fat Tuesday all and all to come...PPQP

                            Fat Tuesday??

                              TT,
                              Fat Tuesday is the last day to eat & drink your brains out before Lent begins tomorrow - Ash Wednesday :H
                              I don't participate in any of that craziness. I' m making a pot of low fat vegan chili :H
