[Livelife]

Thanks for the tag @Sunspots Happy birthday to @Harrow and @extraterrestrialone

Don't like ice cream particularly...but I love an occasional homemade hot chocolate latte'd with cinammon and marshmallows..lots...

I used to be an energetic morning person, still wake early....cup of chai.....

Breakfast has never been a habit for me as an adult but I remember as a kid big spreads of kippers and onions, smoked whitefish, lox cream cheese and toasted bagels, English tea, salami and pastrami scrambled with eggs, fresh fruit, and homemade French toast made from challah.....

Yoga and meditation in the morning when I can

Perfect morning....walk on the beach or in the woods sometimes with sometimes without friend(s).. headed out right now.....

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?

Lemon cheese cake, vanilla, saffron

2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose? Khash yummmmm😋

3. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? How do you take it? Milk and sugar or strong and dark? Cream on top? To marshmallow or not to marshmallow?
Coffee, I drink it anyhow. I got no problem with the bitter taste, but when making it by my own I use non-dairy creamer. No sugar at all

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl? I wake up quite late but night for me is depressing. I wanna live somewhere that there are clubs and I can drink alchohol with my friends till morning, that is how I like night to be. Otherwise, chill mornings are better for me rn.

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it.
I usually make breakfast and do some skin care and brush my hair. I wish I did more lol.

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?

I don't eat icecream anymore. Nothing served cold, and nothing raw (well, maybe a handful of raw walnuts each day). I also try to stay away from sugar, but giving that up has been tough.

I highly recommend giving the no-cold, no-or-very-little raw foods diet to everyone, and also cutting down on pre-cooked and chemicalized foods. I've felt much better since I started eating that way, wish I had done it sooner.

Icecream tastes good though, so I guess icecream with chunks of chocolate or berries would be my favorite kind, though I really don't miss it. So if I were in some weird prison where they tortured people by making them eat icecream, I might order vanilla chocolate chip cookie dough.

2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose?

Idk. I often have a hard time figuring out what I want to eat. Sometimes, I'll just know exactly what I want, I love that. It doesn't happen that often though.

3. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? How do you take it? Milk and sugar or strong and dark? Cream on top? To marshmallow or not to marshmallow?

Hot chocolate, though I try not to have it often.

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I guess I'm a sleepy owl mostly. Go to bed early, get up late. Sometimes I'll get up early and meditate, but then go back to bed.

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it.

Other than meditating, no. I also sometimes cheat and don't meditate.

6. What would your perfect morning look like?

Perfect? I guess in my perfect morning, there'd be nothing to worry about, so it's more about the bigger picture. Ok, being more practical about it, it would probably involve a great breakfast, great weather, a great view, and a really nice professional massage.

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Happy Birthday to ET and Harrow! I hope you both have a great day!

No, January went by pretty fast actually. I can't believe it's February already, which means it's only closer to my next birthday.

Today I'm getting a blood test done to see if I have another vitamin deficiency, and also having a therapy session. I hope to sleep by the end of the day. haha

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?
Chocolate peanut butter, cookie dough, and cookies and cream.

2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose?
Steak, eggs, waffles, and hash browns.

3. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? How do you take it? Milk and sugar or strong and dark? Cream on top? To marshmallow or not to marshmallow?
Mostly coffee but I do like the others. Usually just creamer but I can drink it black. I prefer marshmallows on my cocoa.

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Definitely a night owl. But if I get more energy, I might like the daytime better.

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it.
No, because I don't get up in the morning :P But I always shower and take my pills right after I get up.

6. What would your perfect morning look like?
Spending time with people I care about.

Oopsppss . Double post hahh.. ^^

Happy BDay @extraterrestrialone !! Hope is a hood one! Do something fun!😁 what are you're plans?

My plans are deeply embedded under 18 or so inches of surprise snow this morning. i’ve reconsidered and maybe i’ll try to hibernate instead. i’ve never done that so why not give it a try? i will make my “thanks” rounds shortly but a bit overwhelmed atm by all these wonderful wishes from you and the others.

and yikes! i’ve got group therapy today too. i doubt zoom knows about “cancel”. but on the bright side, i wrote a poem i’m happy with this morning. i’ve been not posting any since that would disqualify them from submitting to publications which i desperately want to do, but there’s gotta be some kind of compromise. we’ll see! wish i could just hop into the 🛸 with all my SF friends and fly away for the day. there’s some great planets out there.

 

[Holding my breath]

My bestie lives on a canal boat. It is a lovely place to wake up - the smell of the wood stove, the view across the fens, the sound of boats quietly chugging past and the whistle of the kettle signalling a cup of strong coffee. She's even got a pair of swans who come every morning for breakfast. They knock on the side of the boat with their beaks to hurry her up with their porridge oats. They've got to know her so well they even let her stroke their heads.

Sounds perfect.

Hey well, no worries. take your time. I understand that. I hope group therapy goes good today.. That's important. Snow is a thing I'm not experienced in. ^^ I think I would turn into a popsicle..but someday I will know the true cold of the white crunchy stuff. I would love to go to space..Jupiter would be awesome to zoom by! Take care! 😁

Hey Sunspots, tysm for tagging me here & for posting a cafe for today! Yes I am glad January is over as well, there were def. a lot of parts of it where only a couple days had gone by & I was like "wtf?! That feels like at least a week or 2 ago!" so ya it was an odd month, not very sure why really. Strange.

Wishing the HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS to both @extraterrestrialone & @Harrow hope you guys have a great day!

Cool q's too, here's my answers to them

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?
Chocolate
Cookies n cream
Peanut butter n chocolate
(Any with chocolate as long as it doesn't also have coffee or fruit really lol) :p

2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose?
Eggs benedict. Love pancakes, bacon & sausages too though

3. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? How do you take it? Milk and sugar or strong and dark? Cream on top? To marshmallow or not to marshmallow?
Tea. I don't drink coffee and find hot chocolate (and marshmallows) to be too rich so I don't really drink that either (sorry to be boring here lol but rather be honest)

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Night owl, definitely.

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it.
Sort of, I generally eat the same thing for breakfast most mornings which is porridge. It's boring but also a very important thing for me to eat each day. Before I had to be so worried about what I ate I used to have cereal pretty much every morning for breakfast and still would if I could. I try not to miss it or dwell though.

6. What would your perfect morning look like?
Ohh fun q! Aside from either meeting (or better yet, kissing! lol) Mark Hamill, it would definitely involve a guy at least somewhat near my age (within 10 years older or younger) knocking on my door and saying he's been admiring me for weeks and been wanting to ask me out. Then saying he'd be delighted if I would join him for breakfast somewhere nearby. So we'd do that and at the restaurant every guy that was there would be leering at me (or at least looking like they liked me a lot) and all the girls would be glaring jealously wishing they could be me. After we were done at the restaurant he'd beg me to let him take me shopping to buy me whatever I wanted. Then he'd say he wanted to take a trip with me and that I could pick anywhere in the world I wanted to go. Then after that he'd invite me over to his place where he'd beg me to watch one of the original Star Wars movies with him. Yes. That would be very perfect indeed. I know I'm a complete dreamer but dreams are pretty much always so much better than miserable reality so whatever.

 

[dandelions]

hey thanks peeps for the wonderful wishes. and i’m actually kind of thrilled that we’re snowed in here today. the plans can wait and a big snowstorm is always something special to me.

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?

top three ice cream flavours are in specifically this order, chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip and then chocolate. and there is maybe a half % between each at most.

2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose?

bagels creamcheese and lox.

3. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? How do you take it? Milk and sugar or strong and dark? Cream on top? To marshmallow or not to marshmallow?

all three appropriately timed throughout the day/week/month/season as follows: coffee usually black and fairly strong w/no sugar. the same coffee with floated heavy cream is a special treat or the cream right in mixed is good too. tea also per day/time etc. many varieties, these especially japanese green, earl grey, assam, darjeeling, and others too. sometimes, with earl grey with a little sugar and lemon. w/milk if feeling ill but usually the tea should be served plain. hot choco (cocoa) should be made with whole milk and sweet but not too sweet and hot enough to nearly burn the tongue but not. it should be rich but not too and w/marshmallow might be ok. then again maybe not.

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl?

in the morning, if i do not get up early, i like to sleep late. at night i fall asleep on my way to bed fairly early, unless i’m staying up late. i guess that makes me a morning person and or a night owl.

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it.

50% of the routine is making coffee/feeding kitty if she is awake/taking out the trash if it stinks/having breakfast of grape nuts (but its become scarce lately due to covid or so i hear) or how about raisin bran, or wheatena or oatmeal or peanut butter creamcheese and raspberry jam on toast (often rye). etc.

6. What would your perfect morning look like?

blue sky, chirping birds on my window sill, blossoming flowers all about. cute critters scampering amongst the flowers, The Hu band playing in the background. therapists discussing ways to improve mental healthcare, a sailboat sailing off into the horizon, confirmation of quick trans galaxy travel to inhabitable other planets with kind people living there. a hold button on my phone that politely but firmly disconnects insurance companies and hospital billing departments. a four hour walk in my favorite park that gets me home 11 minutes after i first went out so there’s still time to do other things in the morning, and maybe a few other things too. i’m still thinking.

in the snow or rain or whatever, hoping you all can find some 🌞🌞🌞

 

[britishbloke]

Happy birthday @Harrow hazza and @extraterrestrialone hope you both have a good day whatever you plan to do or not do today

Thanks for the tag @Sunspots

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours? Mr whippy, vanilla, vanilla and clotted cream... I like plain ice cream, though there's an ice cream shop called sprinkles in my area (not sure if they're just based here?) But they do caramac flavoured ice cream... Yum yum pigs bum

2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose? A glass of OJ with bits in, an egg and sausage muffin with brown sauce because anybody who puts Tommy sauce on a breakfast is a right tool and a strong black coffee... Maybe with a sugar....

3. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate? How do you take it? Milk and sugar or strong and dark? Cream on top? To marshmallow or not to marshmallow?
Coffee... Black... Very rarely do I add sugar but sometimes how I strong I have them requires a sugar to dull out the bitter.

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Night for sure...

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it. Wake up and see how long I have to lay in bed before I leave myself a stupidly short amount of time to get ready and then bitch at myself in my head because I need to get up earlier

6. What would your perfect morning look like? Lay in bed on my phone and the battery NEVER runs out

 

[Auri]

Thank you for opening and tagging me @Sunspots

Hope everyone's week started well

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?

All of them
Coffee with non-dairy milk (if no milk, then sugar)
Tea with a bit of sugar (no milk!!!)
Hot chocolate, no marshmallows

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Night owl cause I'm more productive at night, but I love beautiful, long and sunny mornings too.

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it.
I am not a routine person at all.

6. What would your perfect morning look like?
Beautiful, long and sunny, the breakfast I described, peaceful, no stress... All I need.

Is it hard to live on a boat? Is upkeep hard? What an interesting place to live o.o

She's got a permanent mooring on a river with electricity points so she's always plugged in power wise. She does have to keep her wood stove going pretty much all the time in the winter as that's her main source of heating and without it the boat is freezing. She also has to fill up the water tank every week (there's also water points with the electricity stands so you need to run a hose onto the boat) and she has to empty her toilet (she's got a composting toilet) 😱🤢
It's a really economic way of living and the cost of a boat is far less than a house/apartment. It's not so great when the river floods and she has to wear waders up to her chest to get off the boat

Oh man..things I've never considered before! I'm from the desert..but wouldn't mind moving someplace where water exists and living on a boat xD does she live near the ocean? Does she ever go out on the boat? XD
