The Weekly Friday Feast

[Former-Member]

My 16yr old has mixed feelings about the house becoming more full @Former-Member. I think that he likes having more company because I've been really quite unwell for much of this year but he likes the simple life of just the two of us too. At the moment my son and his girlfriend are living in the lounge while they renovate the garage into a room for them to live in. They are both studying as is the eldest so I think they'll be here for a while. When we have our house back I think it will help all around. 

@Faith-and-Hope has 5 kids and a few more complexities. I'm sure she'll drop in at some point and say hi too 💜😊

There are a few of us around with kids this age. @Former-Member is another with daughter the same age.

With the leaves too hey? What a great idea. My neighbour's lemon tree partially leans over my side wall, so I'll be raiding that in the morning! 😉 Thanks for the tip, @TAB

@Former-Member .. friend made a few pots years ago, so not sure re 'mix' prob go easy on leaves re bitterness may need sugar guessin can be just the best thing tho....

I totally get that, @Former-Member . I think my daughter would be exactly the same. She likes our little sanctuary with just the two of us, but I think she worries about me. I thought I had her conned, till a few months ago she quietly raised her observation that I hadn't seemed happy for some time. That was enough to fire me I to action to get the help I needed. She's a good kid. 

Thanks for the heads up about others with similar set-ups. Really good to know!

You were spot on about @Faith-and-Hope dropping by! Lol. Hi! And bye again! 

Before I fade and head off to bed, I just want to say, @Former-Member, that your response to that person earlier on (Wednesday thread) was amazing. You have a gift in the form of sensitively articulated empathy. I really learned something about compassion and non-judgment from you today. Thank you!

 @Former-Member is a gem

[Former-Member]

Thanks @TAB. That makes sense. Might even try it with honey. 🙂

I better rest up if I'm raiding lemon trees in the morning! Thanks for your good company @TAB, @Former-Member and the speeding by @Faith-and-Hope

[Former-Member]

Thanks for the compliments @Former-Member and @TAB. I'm not really sure what I said @Former-Member but thank you.  It was nice to meet you and I'm glad you dropped in here. You'll have to join us on night shift as that is similar to this with a few more crossing over conversations. I hope you sleep well. Take care💜😊
