Sam
Hey everyone, Julia, Sebastian, Monica. Welcome to this week’s Brewed Preview.
Claire
Oh, hello there.
Sam
It’s for our Caffeine Crossings meeting on Friday.
Claire
It’s Friday. Friday.
Sam
You got it. Um, I’m Sam and this is Claire.
Claire
It’s Claire. Hi, everyone.
Sam
We’re going to give you just a little preview,
Claire
A little sneak peek.
Sam
Yeah. Of all the things that are happening in the Brida Community this week.
Claire
Oh, it’s a busy one.
Sam
Based on Connecting the Dots,
Claire
Which is where we all share those lovely little details of our lives.
Sam
Yeah. All those fun titbits. All right. So, uh, should we just jump right in?
Claire
Let’s jump.
Sam
Okay. Well, it looks like a lot of people have been pretty busy.
Claire
Busy bees.
Sam
Busy bees. Exactly. Like, uh, RosiI.
Claire
Oh, Rosie’s been amazing.
Sam
She’s doing training sessions, right?
Claire
Yeah. Training sessions. And you know what I love? She’s already sharing the things that she’s learning with other people.
Sam
Yeah, that’s our Rosie.
Claire
Always the mentor.
Sam
Always ready to share her knowledge.
Claire
Now, Cléa has also been busy.
Sam
Oh, yeah. Cléa,
Claire
She’s writing an article all about phones.
Sam
Wow, I can’t wait to read that.
Claire
Right, that sounds fascinating. But that’s not all.
Sam
Oh, there’s more.
Claire
Oh, yes. She ended up babysitting for her mother’s cousin’s daughters.
Sam
What? Oh my goodness.
Claire
Unexpected.
Sam
Talk about a change of plans.
Claire
What makes you think, you know,
Sam
About
Claire
About how life can throw you curveballs, right?
Sam
Definitely.
Claire
Like one minute you’re planning to write an article, the next
Sam
You’re surrounded by little ones.
Claire
Exactly. And, you know, it just reminds me of how important it is to be flexible, you know, to go with the flow.
Sam
Yeah. You got to adapt, right?
Claire
Exactly. And speaking of going with the flow, have you heard about Monica?
Sam
Monica?
Claire
What did she do? She went on a scout camp adventure in Adelaide.
Sam
No way.
Claire
But get this, she slept in her car.
Sam
Really? In her car?
Claire
Yes. And she called it her, wait for it, seven-star car.
Sam
A seven star car.
Claire
Seven stars.
Sam
I wonder what makes it so special.
Claire
Right. I’m dying to know the stories behind those stars.
Sam
Makes you want to pack your bags and join it. Right.
Claire
Oh, absolutely. Especially when you hear about all the exciting things everyone’s up to.
Sam
Like Nathalie in Seoul.
Claire
Ah, yes. She’s hosting her cousin there.
Sam
Sightseeing, delicious Korean food sounds amazing,
Claire
Doesn’t it? I’m already feeling a bit jealous.
Sam
I know, right? And Julia, we haven’t forgotten about you.
Claire
Sending you good vibes for your big presentation, Julia.
Sam
Yes. Good luck. We know presentations can be a little nerve-wracking.
Claire
Mhm. A little bit of stage fright is perfectly normal,
Sam
But we’re sure you’ll do great.
Claire
You’ve got this, Julia. And you know, this whole conversation is making me think about how we all handle those moments of pressure, those stressful times.
Sam
Mhm. We all have our ways of coping.
Claire
Exactly. Like Babette, for example, she’s getting ready for another holiday.
Sam
Another one. Lucky her.
Claire
I know, right? But what’s really interesting is how she’s prepping for it. She’s out in the forest foraging for mushrooms.
Sam
Foraging for mushrooms.
Claire
Yes. Imagine that. Finding delicious mushrooms hidden amongst the trees.
Sam
That sounds so peaceful. Almost meditative,
Claire
Doesn’t it? Really makes you think about the hidden treasures we often overlook in nature.
Sam
It’s all about finding that balance, right?
Claire
Exactly. Between our busy lives and those moments of calm.
Sam
And speaking of finding balance, Sylvie’s been busy redecorating.
Claire
Oh, a little home makeover.
Sam
Yeah, just part of her house.
Claire
It’s amazing how refreshing it can be to change your surroundings.
Sam
I totally agree. It’s like hitting the reset button. You know,
Claire
You get a fresh perspective, a new energy,
Sam
Right. It can really help you feel more grounded.
Claire
And speaking of which, I think Ismar deserves a shout-out.
Sam
Oh, definitely. What’s Ismar up to?
Claire
He’s back to being a student.
Sam
Wow. Back to the books.
Claire
Yep. But not only that,
Sam
There’s more.
Claire
He’s also being a fantastic son, supporting his mother.
Sam
Oh, that’s lovely to hear.
Claire
It’s a good reminder that family ties are important.
Sam
They are, especially when we’re all so busy with our own lives.
Claire
You know, it’s all about finding that balance.
Sam
Again, balance.
Claire
Always about balance,
Sam
Right? So, who else is on our list?
Claire
Well, we have Martin and Manfred.
Sam
Ah, yes. What are they doing?
Claire
They’re off to a very special event.
Sam
What kind of event?
Claire
Their employer’s 25th-anniversary party.
Sam
Wow, that’s a long time to work somewhere.
Claire
It is. Shows some serious dedication
Sam
And loyalty, which seems to be a bit rare these days.
Claire
It does, doesn’t it? Loyalty and long-term commitment.
Sam
Yeah, it’s something to admire, for sure.
Claire
Absolutely. And now for something completely different.
Sam
Change of pace.
Claire
Well, we’re still talking about celebrations, but this one’s about the future.
Sam
The future? Who are we talking about?
Claire
Ritesh. He’s already thinking about his wedding attire.
Sam
Oh, right. His wedding is coming up
Claire
In February. Can you believe it?
Sam
Time flies when you’re planning a wedding. I guess
Claire
it does. And with so many options for wedding clothes.
Sam
How do you choose
Claire
Exactly? How do you find the perfect outfit for such a big day?
Sam
Well, I’m sure Ritesh will look fantastic no matter what he wears.
Claire
I’m sure he will, too. He seems to have great taste.
Sam
And you know, while Ritesh is focused on the future, Sebastian is enjoying the present.
Claire
Ah. Ah, yes. Sebastian embracing fatherhood,
Sam
Spending quality time with his daughter.
Claire
Those moments are so precious.
Sam
They really are. They go by in a flash.
Claire
It’s true. You blink and they’re all grown up.
Sam
So, soak it up, Sebastian. Cherish every moment.
Claire
And everyone else, too. We’re all busy making memories,
Sam
Writing our own stories.
Claire
Exactly. Although, there are two people whose stories we’re a bit curious about.
Sam
Who’s that?
Claire
Célene and Alexandre. They’ve been a bit quiet.
Sam
Maybe they’re off on a secret mission.
Claire
Ooh, a secret mission. I love it.
Sam
Or a hidden adventure.
Claire
Yeah, maybe they’re writing a story we’ll hear about later.
Sam
We can only imagine. But before we let everyone go, we have a little birthday announcement.
Claire
Oh, that’s right. A very special birthday coming up.
Sam
It’s Rosii’s birthday next Tuesday.
Claire
And you know what she promised?
Sam
What?
Claire
She promised to share her secret to eternal youth.
Sam
Wow. Now that’s something I want to hear.
Claire
Who doesn’t want to know the secret to staying young forever,
Sam
Right? I’m definitely going to be all ears for that one.
Claire
Me, too. We’ll have to report back on that.
Sam
Absolutely. Will everyone have a fantastic Caffeine Crossings meeting on Friday.
Claire
Yes. Enjoy all the coffee and conversations
Sam
And we’ll see you next time for another Brewed Preview.
Claire
Toodeloo,
Sam
Until then, bye, everyone.
