G’day, members!

I hope your day’s off to a bright and cosy start—whether you're already ticking things off your to-do list or just easing in with a warm cuppa in hand. And speaking of comforting routines… here’s a fun thought to ponder: What’s something you absolutely hated as a kid but now love as an adult? For me, it was afternoon naps—I used to dread them! But these days? I’d give anything to sneak in a nap between meetings or chores.

Most vegetables but love most now. In fact, I could live on just vegetables, no meat.

Also hated early nights, now I love being in bed early, although it doesn't mean I sleep all night

Fish. I hated fish as a child, maybe it was the way that it was cooked. Absolutely love fish now and eat much much less red meat.

Same here and broad beans. My mum used to mash up brussel sprouts and tell me it was cabbage to try to get me to eat it.

My mother tried to get myself & brother to eat cauliflower & broccoli with white sauce. Now at 60 my wife puts a baked dinner on the table and I will attack them first over anything else.

I do now too. The Dr. recommended it after she had my younger brother. It rests your muscles even if you don't do to sleep which you will do if you need it. One sure way for me is to read a few pages of a book. I often wake up and find my book on the floor because it has fallen off my bed.

That reminds me when we asked my son-in-law to kill this sick hen
He caught it then let it go while he lifted the axe expecting it to just sit there. Well of course it just run for it's life and Paul spent the next half hour chasing it

Mushrooms , as a kid l couldn't believe people ate a fungus. But as an adult I've leant to appreciate them and their flavours.

Parrot · Apr 8, 2025

Mushrooms still not keen on them.

saundy · Apr 8, 2025

Mushrooms, and I still don’t like eating fungus of any kind.
