[Sunspots]

does she live near the ocean? Does she ever go out on the boat?

She's nowhere near the ocean sadly. She's lived on the boat for nearly three years and has only taken it out twice. She's too scared to do it on her own. She'd be fine just going forward but having to turn a 70ft boat around on a river to get it back to its mooring is probably really scary. Plus it would take a couple of hours to get it to the pub up the river and she can drive there in five minutes

A very happy birthday to @extraterrestrialone and @Harrow

Thanks for the invite @Sunspots. I've got no plans for today and nothing to achieve that seems worth the effort. I enjoy being very lazy

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours? Rum and raisin, raspberry, lemon.

2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose? Kippers, maybe some smoked haddock and ham, oatmeal with pureed raspberry and whipped cream, all washed down with a steaming mug of English breakfast tea, followed by another cup of breakfast tea, grilled sausages, fried egg, tomato, mushrooms, baked beans and potato waffle. Finally , a cup of delicious, fragrant Earl grey.

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? Definitely black tea with milk and sugar, or green with Jasmine and crystallized ginger.

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl? It varies, right now I'm in night owl mode.

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it. No, but I think I should have.

6. What would your perfect morning look like? Watching the sun come up on a clear day while sitting on a white sandy beach, or a stroll through the woods just after its rained, followed by hearty breakfast as in #2. I'm trying to be more vegan though and unfortunately there's no good vegan sub for fish or fried eggs

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

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

Lol I had to look up Mr Whippy, caramac, and Tommy sauce. I'm learning a lot here.

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?
Chocolate would be the main one. Some of the boozy ones seem damn appealing such as Irish Coffee caramel ice cream, bourbon and orange ice cream

2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose?
Sorry, just for coffee for me, unless I'm not at work, in which case, toast

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?
Black coffee, small amount of sugar, taken in a mug.

4. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Night owl. Mornings, I try not to engage in any convos if I can help it. And that includes when I'm at work.

5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it.
Out of bed, shower, wash, get dressed, coffee. Anything else is optional

6. What would your perfect morning look like?
One with minimal disturbances

Happy birthday @extraterrestrialone

Want to share your wish as you blow the candles out on the cake above?

My wish for both you special people:
I hope you both get to enjoy some good moments.... dive into the ice cream above..... I'm imagining a huge mountain of chocolate chip icecreammmmmm.

 

[Harrow]

What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?

Vanilla, Chocolate and Bubblegum ice cream.

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

A Banana and nuts smooth

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 or hot chocolate, I do not like coffee. Little sugar and a lot of milk and of course a marshmallow

Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I prefer nights, but I actually do surprisingly well in the mornings.

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

Yes, as soon as I wake up I'm in the shower, then I get dressed, have breakfast and then I generally climb back into bed and read for an hour

What would your perfect morning look like?

Same as it is now, except a shower with actual water pressure, better food, maybe a bit earlier in the morning and a first thing run.


And I want to say thank you too everyone that wished me for a great day today, it all means the absolute world to me 🤗

 

[Baywasp]

Thanks for the tag @Sunspots and happy birthday @Harrow and @extraterrestrialone
I had to make a call to set up an appointment with a respiratory therapist to talk about starting my CPAP. Besides that I'm mostly just relaxing since I'm recovering from surgery. Later I'm gonna be watching the Capitals and maybe listening to a Twitch stream at the same time, as they unfortunately both start at 7 pm.

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?
Ben & Jerry's Justice ReMix'd (chocolate and cinnamon ice creams with cinnamon bun dough and spicy brownies), mint Oreo, and maybe cotton candy. I love almost all ice cream flavors. Just not a fan of strawberry when it tastes really artificial.
2. If you could eat anything for breakfast what would you choose?
Maybe waffles with ice cream :P
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 is my favorite... and I'll have it with a ton of marshmallows.
4. Are you a morning person or a night owl?
I prefer night, but I enjoy not sleeping at all whenever possible.
5. Do you have a set morning routine? If so what is it.
Not really. I often have trouble waking up in the morning though
6. What would your perfect morning look like?
Going out for breakfast somewhere cool.

[Autumn1973]

Hey, Sunspots Thanks for the invite.

1. Chocolate-fudge, chocolate...did I say chocolate-fudge already?

2. French Toast. My favorite breakfast. Even more so than chocolate donuts. And that's saying a lot!

3. Hot chocolate. Made with chocolate milk and topped with whipped cream. Yum.

4. Night owl. Always have been. That's why I have a job where I work nights. Not a big fan of the Sun. Guess I'm a creature of the night.

5. Wake up, have breakfast - which consists of dinner-type food. Relax, digest as I ease into my day. Watch the news, go online for a bit and then start getting ready for work. Pretty exciting, huh?

6. My perfect mornings happen on Friday and Saturday afternoons, lol. I don't work Friday and Saturday nights. I sleep in a bit, have a different breakfast than normal - I treat myself. Take a nap, watch a concert - lately it's been nothing but Queen. Treat myself to decadent chocolate chunk cookies, watch a movie, do some writing for two or three hours, then go online for two or three hours, dinner, relax and then bed for a good days sleep. Pretty exciting, huh?

I really forget to say this too often (A weird blind spot in my strange Aspie brain that I have never been able to fix) but Thanks @Sunspots for the Cafe and the invite

Thankfully January is over - is it just me or did January seem to last for at least six months?

Really, to me it felt like 5 minutes... No seriously, it feels like I was just celebrating Christmas last week...

What are your plans today? What would you like to achieve by the end of the day?[/QUOTE]
I just aimed to get through the day without it being too arduous, and it was ok, workload is finally starting to die down, and something hilarious happened, my BOSS is trying to convince ME to take a holiday! He just came out with it and said "Hey, do you mind if I book you off for holiday soon, how about the week of 15th Feb?
It seems I carried over quite a lot from last year and I have taken almost not holiday this year so if I dont start taking some I will have double the holiday days stacked next year than I should.

1. What are your top 3 ice cream flavours?

1. Caramel Cinnamon Waffle Carte D'or (Discontinued) I swear I would IMPORT this shit if I found out it was still sold anywhere...
2. Baileys Haagen-Dazs
3. A REALLY high-quality Vanilla (yea I know, but its really nice)

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

A Full English breakfast with a chilled glass of Cider sounds perfect to me.

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?

1. Coffee - Real coffee only, still trying to learn to like this
2. Tea - Milk and Sugar, and the tea has to have time to soak, no brown water ffs, if you just "dip" in a teabag for a couple seconds you are a murderer of tea!
3. Hot Chocolate - I like real hot chocolate (i.e. melted chocolate in heated milk) from a velvetiser. Lovely stuff. Cocoba do some really good hot chocolates.

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

Night Owl all the way, I have to keep an eye on my sleeping habits when on holiday or I VERY quickly turn nocturnal. (Personally I think I would do better with a 30 hour day)

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

Get up, get human, get dressed, get lunch, get in the car, get driving, get to work, get to work.

6. What would your perfect morning look like?

Wake up in a house with a view in Norway, heated floors and snow outside. Take my blanket and a chair out onto the balcony with a chilled beer and drink in the sunrise. (A beer first thing is just SO relaxing, you MELT into whatever you are sitting in.

Norway is just such a damned beautiful country, I really need to go back some time. (Its been too long)

Two people definitely deserve ice cream for breakfast today..

Happy Birthday

@extraterrestrialone and @Harrow

​

Happy birthday guys!
