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

[Raven]

I just had my CBT phone session. I totally forgot the time of the appointment and I had fallen asleep after doing my meditation so I was half asleep for it!

I just ordered a takeaway pizza. It's nice and sunny here but it's meant to get cold this weekend.

Just received my M&S order and everything is just perfect. Moreover, I got 2 pairs of earrings. The person in the warehouse must have been in a hurry and didn't see that the two packs were together.

More on Virginia liquor laws: Grocery stores, convenience stores and drug type stores can sell beer and wine. ABC stores don't sell much beer if any, and only sell Virginia wines. So if you want to buy both hard stuff and "soft" (?) stuff, you'll have to make two stops.

Enough of that. It's a beautiful day here. I haven't seen any sign of my neighbor since our dust-up the other day, but her husband gave me a wave from his yard when I went for my walk. (Makes me wonder if she even told him about it)

We have 24 hour drinking licences here, although it's only a small number of places that stay open to sell alcohol.

That reminds me to run a bath for myself and have another beer.

Works here, very nice . looks like the South Island, which makes me miss when i lived there for a year.

i am in the North island which is different, where i am it never snows. Winters sometimes frosty but it has never snowed. once a few years ago we got this soft sleet ball fall and Aucklanders were excited and saying "its finally snowing here!" but i was thinking... no, that is sleet.. not the same....

That is where i live, but i am not in the CBD like in this video.. i am on the outskirts of it.

This is what it is like during sunny seasons, very pleasant ( though it can have a lot of rain too )

This video is more made for tourists, living here is very different, the population is very dense and public transport not so much so just heaps of cars and traffic... some very frenetic and crowded places here...

 

[Val]

Thanks. You've made my day. It's great to go to sleep (that's what i'm going to do), when you know that someone on the other side of the Earth is thinking of you.
P.S. Never mind: i've just returned from my walk, and i'm in a relaxed and romantic mood, lol.

 

[Freesia]

Seems the reverse as i am just having breakfast now...the day is just beginning ...

But i will be thinking of you during the day ... i think it wil be a housework day today.

Did i show you SPb and Kolpino yet? Here they are. I live in the suburb (Kolpino), which has a city status, because its population with its suburbs is over 300000 people, but SPb is my city either (in general it's over 5000000 people), and i work there (i also went to college and Conservatoire in SPb center).
SPb (founded in 1703):

And this is my hometown Kolpino (founded in 1722):

Val.. Russia is beautiful, like something out of a fairytale.. i love that huge church in St Petersburg with the colourful roof and Kolpino looks so tranquil....

Auckland is very suburban too.. where we are is almost not in auckland at all and if i look out the window i can see a lot of rural land acros the harbour..

 

[Chryssie]

It is so wonderful to be able to see other parts of the world! I love the videos!

 

[Amy SF]

Beautiful videos! I enjoyed seeing what those cities look like.

Wow... they are even more ornate close up where you can see the detail the gold dome is beautiful too .. the cathedral looks a bit like the St Pauls in London it is also nicely painted ..
