Night Shift

lol re 'like' hi anyways @Faith-and-Hope

Hey @TAB, sorry I kind of suck at general conversation tonight. Not sure why, think my head is filled with too much stuff. I've actually tried a few times to make lighter conversation and then hit cancel when I've failed. Anyway I hope you find someone else except you to banter with. Maybe I'll be back more with the program tomorrow. Take it easy 😊💜

Hi @TAB 😊

I'm a kick out if hearing everyone's cooking journeys too ... ❣

One of my grandfathers used to live in a little caravan. He was a farmer, and had several properties with livestock on them, but they weren't all joined together like one bug farm .... they were bought as a lot of individual properties so he used to go and stay on them in his little caravan, and move about from one to another.

He used to take us, a whole bunch of grandkids, fishing with him on his little old Mimimoke (looked like this ....)

.... and we used to have to climb out and open, and then close, the wooden farm gates just like this one in the back of the picture ....

Fishing trips started with going down to the back end of a paddock and digging up a whole bunch of worms .... my grandfather was an early equal-rights sorta guy .... girls had to get their hands dirty digging up worms, digging post holes, planting vegie patches, whatever .... and keep their squeamish thoughts to themselves cos there was work to be done ....

Catfish was often the catch, and my grandfather knew how to cut them for cooking in safety .... which happened in his little cooking pot over an open fire next to the caravan .... we would sit on the steps and watch him ... battered catfish and hand cut chips cooked in a camp oven over the fire, followed by rice custard with peaches he had cooked earlier in the day. Then billy-tea.

Amazing what you could manage with a pit-fire and single cooking pot .... starting with a handful of worms .... and sleeping very well from just after the sun set (no lights in the caravan), wrapped up in a sleeping bag.

Used to catch turtles in the fishing lines sometimes too, and play with them on the riverbank.

My dad was in mining, so these were holiday stories from visiting my mum's farming people ....

Just thought y'all might like a bit of a distraction .... a walk down a different lane .... a memory one .... 💕

er ..appears you are not alone Bec hi @Former-Member

Hi!

I get so confused trying to follow everyones posts on this forum, and I feel there is so much nuance that I miss.

Does anyone else struggle to keep up?

Your shank, vege soup sounds delicious @TAB. I feeling very hungry from all this talk about food, lol. If I was on my own, I would gladly not cook much. It's not my favourite thing to do, lol, but I do enjoy eating.

I'm so sorry to hear about all the awful things wrong with your back @Decadian. It's such a pity that massage doesn't help you.

Awful having physical pain and pain in the heart. Pain in the heart from emotional hurts can take a very long time to heal. I hope that you are ok.

It's good to rave. But I will have to join your rave another day, because I am so tired all of a sudden, so I better try and sleep now. Thanks for the chat, will chat (rave) again soon.

Hi @Former-Member, sorry, I'm way too tired for a chat, but would love to very soon.

@Faith-and-Hope I look forward to chatting soon. You might have missed my message asking about your girl, boy etc..... That's ok though. There's alot to read here. No worries.

Goodnight everyone, I hope you all have a good sleep tonight.

Hi

I am wondering who is still about?
