Howdy, O2 Community!

Breanna — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 12:40:51 GMT

Hello Hello,

My name is Breanna and I'm excited to be joining you all on the O2 Community. With @lewys-gp leaving, I've got some big shoes to fill but he's been amazing at cluing me in on all the fun stuff going on around here. As I'm sure you'll eventually figure out, I'm not from the UK so go easy on me 😅

I usually spend my days talking about plants so I'm really looking forward to some of the awesome ☀️ Summer Activities ☀️ that are going to be taking place really soon.

Other than plants, I always enjoy a good challenge. Once upon a time, I lived a year off-grid in the Ozarks 🌄 and then promptly moved to China (mostly for the good food 🍜). These days, I'm often in the kitchen cooking up something complicated or working away at a sewing project.

This is Micky, who is rather miffed that his bed has been removed from the desk.

He is my co-pilot in all things so please feel free to send him a personal message any time. He will respond when and if he wakes up from his nap.

I'll be around the Community so feel free to drop me a PM if you need any help or even if you just want to chat about some cool stuff.

Hi @Breanna

Welcome to the madhouse - err Community - and hope you soon settle in as a Community manager.

You`ll find we are a friendly bunch on here and look forward to chatting with you and finding out more about your interests.

You`ll see we chat about a whole range of different things in Off Topic and hope you`ll join in; and, as you

enjoy a challenge, I hope you will join in with our twice-weekly White Room Quiz on Mons and Weds, and Word Hunt Diamond on Tues, which, as @lewys-gp and @RafaC will tell you, are fun and they take part in.

Oh PS Hi to Mickey, who will find there are quite a few cat owners/lovers on the Community

Thanks @Mi-Amigo!

I may or may not have been creeping along with todays Word Hunt Diamond. You guys are awfully fast 🏎

Mi-Amigo — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 13:34:17 GMT

Thank you @Breanna

Although the Word Hunt Diamond game might have gone quite quickly today, that isn`t always the case. The great thing about the game is that anyone can drop in at any time suggesting a word from the letters in the grid.

If you are interested, there is still time if you would like to have a go at the White Room Quiz [WRQ] - see here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Off-Topic/White-Room-Quiz-Mon-25-July-2022-Odd-Questions-A-Z-part-3/m-p/1563267/thread-id/258384 and send me a pm [please don`t post answers on the thread] as the quiz is open until 11.59pm tonight, with a new WRQ tomorrow morning.

Hi and welcome @Breanna

Micky looks like my cat called Gizmo. We have another cat (Gizmo's sister) called Lily and they hate each other 😂 So I'll say Hi to Micky as well. I also like plants so something in common there as well.

Anyway welcome again xx

@AlexanderMTTH Thanks! He's getting some afternoon beauty rest at the mo...

@Cleoriff Ginger cats have such big feelings don't they? It's love or hate with them!
I'm really enjoying seeing differences in house plants between here and China. And the tomatoes in the garden are getting rather massive. Do you grow veg or the indoors?

left over from a while ago.
