1. Are you looking forward to Spring next month?
I guess. I like to go out hiking but the snow and ice and mud is a pain. Spring in March is mostly mud season here.

2. Are you glad this month is almost over?
February has flown by for me so I guess I am not as I am late on things at work.

3. Do you have any plans for this weekend?
Seeing grandson tomorrow; then working on work extra on Sunday when I'd rather be working in the woodshop.

4. What's one of the last things you bought?
Medicine for my knees.

5. How are you feeling right now?
Tired. I work 9 hour days and today was supposed to be an 8 hour day and I worked 9 again. And I will be up until midnight playing Dungeons & Dragons with friends So that will be fun until 10pm.

MY ANSWERS.1

3. Do you have any plans for this weekend

how could i forget!? on saturdays i listen to a program on my favorite classical music station. on the program they have a little segment called piano puzzler. a famous pianist composer - bruce adolph - takes a popular song and plays it in the style of a famous classical composer and a guest who calls in has to guess the hidden song and who the classical composer is - whose style is being used. its fun to listen to and to try to guess. its a nice way to spend a few minutes in the morning on saturdays. i’ve been doing it for quite a while now. been making my wife listen too! i guess i never realized that i listen because i plan to! 😊 well, tomorrow is saturday so my plan is...

1. Are you looking forward to Spring next month?

next month is March and although March is a really nice month in my opinion, i always keep in mind “beware the ides of March” my son, the claws that catch the teeth that bite!

The cafes seem to be quite irregular lately, it would be good to see some regular posters, thanks for filling in the gaps @JMG

1. Are you looking forward to Spring next month?

Nope. I fully expect to be stuck at home for spring, however, summer looks promising (Vaccines are scheduled to be done by July if you believe the government)

2. Are you glad this month is almost over?

Not really, I still cant shake that feeling of my life ticking away, especially now that I recently realised how little LIVING I have done in the last decade.

3. Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Sleep, relax, exercise, pretty much it.

4. What's one of the last things you bought?

Oculus Quest 2, fun and useful for exercise (Try an hour of beatsaber and tell me you arent exercising)

5. How are you feeling right now?

Truth? Lonely. Its been WAY too long since I had anyone special in my life and for some reason thats really bothering me today.

Thanks for the invite and for opening the cafe @JMG. I hope everyone can have a nice and relaxing weekend.

 

[Bergerac]

Thank you for the tag, @JMG

1) I actually prefer Autumn, myself, and the darker evenings and mornings of Winter. However, in this case, it will be nice to start working nearer to the end of lockdown and being able to complete my current work project, so hopefully, the passage of time will be welcome.

2) I think I have answered this above, by accident. Sorry.

3) Just relaxing, ahead of a busy working week.

4) A children's cookbook. Beautiful book, with easy to follow recipes and all the necessary equipment laid out clearly. Very complex meals made simple.


5) Both happy and anxious, in equal measure.


Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Hey, thanks for the invitation JMG

1. Yes and no. I don't like warm weather, but spring isn't too bad as far as that's concerned. It's nice not having to run the heat or air conditioning in my apartment for awhile. But I know summer is right behind spring, and I never look forward to that. I'm actually looking forward to fall already.

2. I wouldn't say glad. It hasn't been too bad for me personally. But, it does mean I'm one more month closer to fall.

3. Just the usual. Sleeping, eating, watching a Queen concert on DVD, watching a movie or two, writing, spending some time here with my friends. For me, ordering a pizza is a big deal for one of my weekends, but I'm not doing that this weekend, so there will be no "excitement" this weekend for me.

4. Groceries. The very last thing I bought was a Snickers Bar at the checkout. Been in a Snickers kind of mood lately. Just can't get enough of them. Think I'll go grab a fun size one from the new package I bought yesterday before I answer number 5.

5. Yum. That was good. Feeling better now that I've satisfied that sudden craving for a Snickers. Other than that, been feeling okay. Not good, not bad. But okay. Maybe okay is the best I can ever hope to feel anymore?

 

[JMG]

Thanks for opening @JMG and the great questions....

Hi all, and @JMG , thank you for the nice Café, and for being so welcoming.

Ysw, thanks for the kind compliments too I'm glad you like the questions, was worried they were maybe too boring or something lol. You're so welcome to everyone else for the tags too, thank you to all who replied here, I enjoyed reading everyone's answers very much

The cafes seem to be quite irregular lately, it would be good to see some regular posters, thanks for filling in the gaps @JMG

Lol aw you're so welcome, no prob. really. I just couldn't stand to see yet another day go by without a cafe so that's why I finally posted one.

 

[Dante]

I have a tiny idea to maybe do something about the lack of Cafes, maybe a volunteer line, each cafe has a call for a volunteer to do the next one, that way if no one replies we know its not coming and someone can fill in? Not a GREAT idea, but its something.

 

[bubblebear]

hello hello. spent 5 hours today with an acquaintance walking around parks and taking photos. nevertheless i still feel sad and empty inside. that aside, it was a nice day and it was nice to get some fresh air. happy bulbasaur everyone

1. Are you looking forward to Spring next month?

I'm a fall weather girl. I actually get that seasonal depression thing around Spring. Possibly because I grew up in the desert where it was always too hot, and I dread summer.

2. Are you glad this month is almost over?

One of the roughest months I've had in awhile. 2 surgeries, and a mental breakdown. Next month will be a different kind of stressful. I'll be happy when all months are over til we get to May, when my work schedule clears up!

3. Do you have any plans for this weekend?

Was going to do something, but the plans were cancelled. I'm in the process of moving houses, so packing I guess?

4. What's one of the last things you bought?

I love buying makeup. Possibly cosmetics, but I honestly can't remember what the last thing I bought was!

5. How are you feeling right now?

Unfocused, and very sad. Been wandering around the boards here, which has been nice and makes me feel a little better.
