Cafe Success

& the Smelly Cat   
Its seems that my cafe night is finding its own Rhythm and certainly becoming more popular as we had close to fifteen turn up for this one. A great friend made the 2 1/2 hour journey just to come for cake and 'Coke Spiders' with her lovely son and a gender questioning friend, who I believe it may have been one of her first times out in public. 

Surrounded by friends and the lively atmosphere, that is the Alphabet City Cafe. There is still nothing else I would rather be doing, and wish that I could do it more often.
I found it quite quite amusing as people would come together chat and enjoy each others company, then move into another group and repeat the process again throughout the night. Even I found myself doing the same, which kind of surprised me more. I am usually the shy one that waits to be asked a question, its still something I have to work on and something I've been finding harder to do of late ( but enough of that )

My good friend 'Bree" bought out her guitar later in the evening and sang while her son played rhythm using   the back of the chair and floor.

Even the talented 'Ashley' wowed us all with her amazing guitar skills  yay. 

And seeing that tonight felt like a scene from my favourite sit-com when I was young. I so wanted to hear 'Bree" sing "Smelly cat"
Yes I used to watch 'Friends' in fact it was the life I had  always wanted a group of close friends to hang out with and share life with.  Something that I felt had eluded me for most of my life. A something so simple that now that I have that in my life I no longer need to watch it and dream  

Cafe night means so much more to me than you might think, and I'm so thankful to have so many wonderful people to share it with.

Love you all
