3 Good Things (again)

Absolutely yes to all of this

 Yes, yes and yes to all above. 

Cool! Thanks in advance for any updates!

1. Dark chocolate

2. Pain au chocolat

3. Chocolate puddings, particularly the "little pots of joy" chocolate trifles that I've got in my fridge to enjoy at the weekend

Thank you!! It is starting in a few weeks, I think there is a focus on unmasking and what to do after your diagnosis/ how to make things easier for yourself which sounds really great! Hoping to meet some nice people too   I feel really excited for it- will probably post updates on here too! 

diagnosed with a frozen shoulder, which will take ages to heal and painful. Physiotherapist was very good at explaining and listening. 

stocked up books, from the telephone book exchange with a good selection. Support local libraries. 

will sleep well after reassurance, warmer and seeing people I know.

Good point.

Fingers crossed

I'll send her a private message and see what happens. 

If not, make a new post! Maybe say what you are looking for -like how often you'd enjoy responses as I know that's important for you. 

I would ask them if they still want to have a pen pal.

I recognise you.

I think others will too.

It shouldn't be a complicated ask.

Good luck.(⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

My previous account there was a new member who was interested in being my pen pal. Unfortunately the person didn't get back in touch (think the forum was having technical problems with private messages); what should I do? 

I just realized pho soup is from Vietnam.  Bon appétit for the amazing spaghetti bolognese!
