Hi @Jacques, great to see you. So glad to hear you are easing up on the support role and taking some steps to look after yourself first of all.
Hi @CherryBomb, it has been a bad week in the news. I keep my distance from it as a regular practice, just mostly checking headlines daily on the ABC and local news websites. I tend to take a cynical view of the news and find a lot of it to be like propoganda. As you say, it is so sensationalised and conflict based too. Better for my mental health if I keep my distance, I find. A winter solstice festival in the Blue Mountains sounds great. Hope you enjoy it!
Hi @Former-Member, great that you have that friend who brings chicken soup. It no doubt helped you back to your feet today to have that kind of care.
Hi @eth, your frozen dinner does sound super fancy!
Hi to others I haven't tagged, hope your Friday has been okay or better. If not, hugs to you!
My offering for tonight's feast is good ole pizza, a Friday night tradition here. Great local shop, very tasty.
This version above is vegan, which is not what we had, but wanted everyone to be able to share of the virtual feast. 
Hi All
Prawn and Vegie Soup happening here .....
Have ve you found The Weekly Friday Feast yet @comet ?
Heya @Former-Member,
Sounds like it could be a bit of both. I hope you have some time to lay low this week and re-energise.
I'm good, thanks for asking. Also been feeling pretty flat. Had a few days where I slept heaps - headachy and sore throat. I just did what the body asked. Feeling good now though - just in time for the local Blue Mountains Winter Solstice Festival 
Hi everyone, sorry i am early, not feeling well and thought i would drop by before i go back to bed.
i hope everyones week is going well, i have read somepeople are unwell too, butgs to @PeppiPatty and hubby, i know you are both struggling, and hugs to others doing it tough i read @comet, @Decadian, @Appleblossom and others where having a rough week.
i thought i would bring some finger food tonight, some corn fritters, it is cold and i thought it would be easier to handle while we where all chatting 🙂
