The Coffee House-Come & Chat With Us! (June 2020)

[Raven]

I had a break from social media yesterday and feel better. I used to try and do that once a week.

It's hot and sunny again. I am running low on food (again!) so we are having jacket potatoes for breakfast.

I also like to do that. When I'm away on holiday, I hardly ever access the internet.

Once I've done all my deco/cleaning, I will definitely have a one day break from the net.

^ I think it is a good idea as it is so easy to just keep checking online all throughout the day.

I started my new book yesterday and I will read a bit more in a minute. It's really hot out as I just went out for a walk.

I saw on the news that there have been queues outside shops today as non-essential shops have opened up today.

Morning/afternoon y'all! I have today off and it looks to be another typical summer day here. Last night Sherri, Kevin, and Bella came by and we sat out on the patio and chatted for a while. It was a pleasant evening with a nice breeze after an earlier rain shower. Today I have errands to do and I will try out my new steam mop which arrived last week.

I don’t think I’ve ever taken a break for a whole day. I think it’s a true addiction.

I don’t think I’ve ever taken a break for a whole day. ☹ I think it’s a true addiction.

I've taken a break from social platforms and forums, but i've never stayed away from the internet or my phone for a whole day.

 

[Raven]

It is definitely addictive. You are meant to get a dopamine hit if you get a "like" on social media, it's like a drug.

I'm going to the mountains this weekend!!!!!

This is the only social media I use where there is two-way communication. I watch YouTube videos and read Reddit posts. There are plenty of days where I don't go online.

Nowadays I do have to take breaks from the news. Some of those are even more than a day.

 

[Chryssie]

I am a true internet junkie and have been for over 20 years! I also am intrigued by the news no matter how depressing. I guess I am an information junkie too!

I was pleased to see this video: it's about Yekateringburg city,- the city we visited last year, on the first decade of May. I really liked it there. I thought that @Freesia might like it too (and everyone else who is interested in travelling and in other parts of the world). We went there with our lyceum kids, to take part in the dancing competition. I couldn't go to the destination point that i wanted, because i was responsible for the kids, and we were very limited in time,- so that was quite disappointing for me; but anyway, we saw plenty of interesting objects and sights, including the city panorama from the roof of a 55-floor building, plus we went to the museum of fine arts. Aaand... i had a super interesting (personal) conversation with our guide (about alternative history, alternative archeology, paleo contacts, and vegan lifestyle(!), because she and her husband happened to be vegans!!!)
Yekaterinburg (city beneath Ural mountain range, located 30kms from the border of Europe and Asia,- we visited that famous obelisque):

Hi gang!

I finally decided to check out TikTok, mainly because of Tabitha Brown’s vegan videos. so I installed the app. The videos on the app are just INSANE. They’re really short videos, most of them less than a minute or two, but crazy. Just a lot of people being really silly and having fun.

 

[Mikkel]

5 minutes left until my week off starts!

 

[shyvas]

I have a pal who's coming over this morning to do more work in the flat. I'm still doing some painting.

 

[Raven]

I went to bed about 12 and then couldn't get to sleep until about 2 and then woke up at 5. I thought I would just get up at 6 so it feels like I've been up for ages already!

 

[Chryssie]

Morning/afternoon y'all! It is nice out this morning and will heat up as usual. Rain chances are down though so I will have to water my plants later. I am working an 11-4 shift. The schedule said "projects and events" but what that really means is I will be the "counter" at the door counting customers as they come and go to keep us withing the capacity guidelines. That is what I think I will be doing anyway according to another employee. That vague job description could be anything!

 

[Chryssie]

Hey everyone! I got a picture of the frontline at TJ Maxx. Today I counted customers; it was boring. It wasn't that busy today. The highest count I got was around 60 and most of the time it was between 30 and 40.

Is there someone to wave customers to the next 'booth"? Seems a bit much! I don't see any plexiglass divider in front of the cashier though?

 

[Mikkel]

I got my phone set up with an English keyboard too. So it suggest English now too. And I'm so happy about it, since I sometimes write English more than Norwegian (and still I'm not better at it... )

 

[Raven]

We have been clearing out our house the past couple of days. I just got my shoulder sun burned being out in the garden and I got bitten by something on my face. It will feel good to get rid of some of this useless crap tomorrow, though.
