The Weekly Friday Feast

[Former-Member]

Sounds yummy @Former-Member...and best part..no dishes

[Decadian]

Yes!! @Faith-and-Hope

I am glad D3 has her art in an exhibition tonight - that's a good sign

Now I had cod and vegies for lunch - a delivered meal - I really like the cod - but I wish they would send something else on a Friday - I will ring them next week

Tomorrow - if I get to the supermarket I might get a cook-chook - I feel like some of that - I might even look like an old chook

Tonight I had a bowl of fruit and yoghurt and a couple of anzacs - that was enough

The Bailey's sounds find - I'll have one if that's okay - I have Australian Fortified Wine - if I feel so inclined

My medicare form for my psychologist said "ex smoker - occassional drinker" - that's a long time since social smoking and there is a long drought between drinks - that could have been left off the form I think

Just buzzing past quickly here .... going out for a bit for a birthday, then home for a movie with the kids ....

D3 made me a vegetarian pasta dish for dinner tonight, cos my hubby bought them non-Vego pizza ..... and I wanted vegetarian ....

Something is happening with my hubby .... he us experiencing eye problem and the GP has got him a priority appointment with a specialist for Monday ..... and told him no weight-lifting or jogging !!   He can only take a gentle walk ....

It has been years since he had a day without jogging or weighs ..... so I don't know how this is going to go down ..... he will probably gentle-walk all weekend ....

Will read back through Friday Feast later .... gotta dash now ....

Have a good night everybody

Hi @Jacques

We can all do with being held in someone's arms .. lovely thought @Shaz51  How many people can you hold?

Oh @Former-Member wisdom teeth are monsters when they impact.  

Hi everyone reading .. I had vegies over which I squeezed half a lemon .. it was different but yummy.

..it's possibly not all it's cracked up to be re physical contact @Jacques  ..it can seem to lead to unnecessary emotional  stuff  .. If I go home at xmas, 'huggy' sister who otherwise has nothing to do with me is def not getting one  ..ah tis the Season to be Jolly..

[Faith-and-Hope]

Sending you virtual hugs @Jacques ..... 🤗

Hello @Appleblossom, @Jacques

Yes, sometimes I don`t like being hugged , It depends what is happening xx

I hope you are having a ok day today

[Appleblossom]

Affection has to come from within.  Sometimes its ok to be awkward and sometimes it flows, Sometimes laying in the sun and just relaxing together can help.  @Jacques I had a flare up with my son this week .. and he went to dutifully give me a full hug and I grabbed his hands and said I did not him to feel obliged to hug.  

I also had a male friend want to hug me when I knew what I needed to calm my grief.  It wasnt physical intimacy with someone who wasnt part of my grief story.  

Yet early in my therapy, in my 20s I did like group hugs .. find your own way .. take little risks ... dipping toe in the water ... tho sometimes it can be fun to run around and play fight too.  I used to fight my son with serviettes and place mats ... to make him laugh.
