Hi @CherryBomb, oh yes coffees all round, good for the wine hangover @Mazarita 🙂
Oh my @CherryBomb, it has all the bells and whistles, it has a frother on the side, and can take extra large cups, the smell of coffee is all through the house, so nice.
Enjoy @CherryBomb.
Well i m recovering by going light on the meals after such a feast at Christmas, i don't drink so i don't know how to get over hangovers. A coffee always helps

I'm with you @Jacques - light meals for a while after the feasting that I've had over the last week. Perhaps the 'Friday Feast' can be Friday Coffee tonight?
@MoonGal, I had a similar experience just yesterday actually. I live in the Blue Mountains, and did one of many walks here along a river and cascade. There's one point where there are pockets of water, which makes an ideal wade about barefoot. It was here that there were a bunch of kids and families splashing about in the water. It seemed like a novel experience for many, and everyone was smiling and laughing. It was also infectuous. So nice to moment of happiness with strangers. It was a lovely way to spend new years eve.

Thank you @CherryBomb, @Jacques, @Mazarita & @MoonGal...
No, I don't remember discussing it with her before. She said I was the first person she told when it happened though & apparently I said he was "a seedy old man". I had ECT in 2006 & I have significant, permanent memory loss of both good & bad. I was advised by my psychiatrist to have it again a few months ago & I wrote a list of good memories I had made since 2006 like the new years day sunrises & camping trips to Fraser Island. Thankfully my psychiatrist didn't make me involuntary. ECT was also suggested in 2010 & strongly suggested in 2013 (I had to fake being okay to get out of hospital & away from that psychiatrist...)
When she was discussing it & the effects it still has on her life - it brought up the pain of my own ptsd from a sexual assault 13 years ago.
Sorry, I'm not very cheerful tonight....
My partner is cooking buckwheat & brown rice spaghetti with a tomato, caper, olive & lentil sauce.
We had salad that I made for the last two nights.
I'll have a decaf soy piccolo @Jacques!
I'm going to the beach tomorrow - I have that to look forward to in the short term at least. I am definitely safe @CherryBomb, but, yes, I feel horrible.
Thanks all & glad to hear other people had a lovely new years eve/day!
Namaste,
Anna

@Shaz51 a sleep and a coffee sounds splendid! Will certainly being doing that tomorrow. I'm feeling knackered. Has the rain moved on now, and are you cyclone free?
@Jacques I love coffee too! I got a coffee machine just last year. I use it every day. Hope you manage to keep up your water intake now that you got a coffee machine!
