Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

A list and a step at a time . Yes, it's a good feeling...

A list and a step at a time @TAB. Yes, it's a good feeling getting things sorted. Hope it all works out for you soon.

Did you end up cooking your roast last week, lol. I often buy a lean beef roast, but I don't roast it (becomes too dry). I either chop it up for stir fry or cut it up and fry it as a steak. I mostly only roast lamb, sometimes chicken legs.

, I

Oh! I feel for you @Shaz51. If it was 28C today, it must get way too got there in summer. I try not to go in the sun too much in summer. Too many BCC's. Did alot of sunbaking years ago, paying for it now. I venture out more in winter, it's my favourite season.

I hope your hubby will be well enough to go out on Saturday. Sounds like you both need a break away from work etc.

I don't have any photos on my new laptop, otherwise I would send some. Next time I'm on my tablet I will try to remember.

By the way. @TAB I understand about not being able to work the oven, lol. Things can be quite complicated to work out these days, lol. I try and buy simple appliances, ones's with knobs and not too complicated. I don't like reading instructions, but often it's impossible to work out how to use things.
