Welcome to the *Gransnet Café. This is a non-judgemental space for you to pop in for a cuppa with some virtual friends, seek out advice for a particular problem, or share an update on your life - important or trivial. Feel free to have your say and chat about your day, but please leave any arguments at the door. If you're struggling to find someone to talk to in real life, or are simply looking for a bit of a chat, this is the place for you.
Hello!
<pokes head over political threads parapet to assess whether or not it's safe to tie up the last of the (apolitical) bunting>...
in preparation for....
..our very own Gransnet Great Get Together! This Sunday 18th June around midday we will be taking part in the nationwide celebrations, in honour of the late Jo Cox and her belief that we have #MoreInCommon.
We would like to invite you all to bring your own Pimms or tipple of choice and a plate of virtual goodies and come join the fun. If you’re up to baking, we’ve got some tasty recipe ideas…
We’ll be giving away spot PRIZES and sharing silly gifs. We invite you all to share a joke, a funny or heartwarming story or just let us know what you’re up to.
If you prefer to meet up with people nearby in real life there’s plenty happening nationwide. You can check out a local Great Get Together here. Or check out your Gransnet Local page to see if anything’s been organised by a local editor.
There’s been so much sadness in recent weeks and this is the perfect opportunity to show our support for each other and our communities. We hope to see you here on Sunday - bunting lovers or not. 
We are away this weekend but I will be with you all in spirit and wine and Pimms and anything else you may imbibe 
.
Chewbacca I opened my eyes this morning to find a cats bum being presented to me at very close quarters, and even though I'm very partial to lemon drizzle cake, I really, really do NOT want my mouth to look like that, although I do seem to have a bit of fur round it 
Wellll, OK phoenix , I just thought that I'd make the appropriate cake to enable us all to have one. But, as you already have an in house, ready made cat's bum, at close quarters, I'll do you a banana, mango and walnut cake instead. 
Anniebach just bring yourself
I'm always up for a party - especially a virtual one where I can eat and drink whatever I fancy! Think I will come dressed up as Betty Boop in my best summer dress!
Apologies Riverwalk Maybe that didn't come out right. The politics threads are often the most interesting, mainly because of conflicting viewpoints. But they do get a bit heated sometimes (understandably) so we were only hoping we could put our differences aside for a few hours on Sunday.
Looking forward to the Cat's Bum Cake! We need a recipe!
Nice outfit Wilma
Lara like this one?
haha! I thought it was a dinosaur for a minute. But then I put my glasses on...
Is that your own handiwork GrannyKnot?
lara nope (there's nothing new under the Sun - just ask Google). 
Um, Chewbacca, not wishing to be difficult, but I don't like banana. I also dislike cucumber. A friend who is rather into amateur psychology, wondered if it was to do with an aversion to penises! 
I wouldn't know phoenix and, to be honest, I'd rather not think about it too much if that's OK!
Chocolate cake for phoenix . please don't let her tell me any inner psychological problems with chocolate
Here you go Grannyknot!
Which one's you, Grannyknot?
That's what I was wondering!
Thank you Lara should I have used "Embed"?
Teehee I'm the shy one on the left
