Night Shift

Hi @Former-Member thanks so much for understanding 🙂 Nice to *meet* you too!

Hey @Former-Member, perhaps kira is a sleeping aid too in that she helps make you feel safe and secure. There is something really lovely about having them by our side no matter what. Mine is curled up sleeping with his head resting on my leg at the moment. Don't you wish we could fall asleep like them?

@Former-Member pretty much

Hello all you night shifters

@Former-Member I learned to type sitting on floor on an old Underwriter ... my grandpa was a typewriter mechanic for a while ... then when we did it at school ..it did not seem hard ...

Hey @TAB I had ya bluffed ... I only kick butt in my imagination .. got a crook neck and back and am very careful with where I put my feet ... ha ha ..

I believe that humour is a good medicine .. can be healing .. but not ALL the time ... sometimes it is just escapist ... and yes bs .... we need to be aware of ALL sorts of things ... sometimes people need to be able to write longer posts .. and tell it how it is ... you are good at the one-liners .. and that can roll conversation along .. that is a strong suite ... but I am careful ... cos I have seen too much of other people's genuine pain .. where the class clowns didnt give a hoot ... this site works cos trolling wont last long ... there is enough of all bull dust all over the internet .. we dont need it here. Its horses for courses .. different stripes for all types ..

I am only into herbal tea ... cos I know its supposed to be good for me .. over time its been a wise move .. but I dont really feel much effectiveness when I actualy drink it .. its just a better general long term lifestyle choice than some of my shorter term choices ...

I had been thinking the same not long ago watching Kira sleep and how quickly she does fall asleep, even when she as been running around and virtually the next min she is asleep. She does that frequently when I am on the phone and I am talking to my mum and she can hear her and then its quiet and my mum asks what Kira is doing and I look down and she as passed out basically straight away. I do get comfort having Kira close by for sure and I bet you do too with your dog.

I am waiting for the triathlon to start for Rio, its meant to start in 20mins.

Hi @Former-Member @TAB

I haven't read The Book Thief yet - I just watched the DVD yesterday

This will be my next book - I will be looking around the net to find it - it's much easier to get these things on line that to browse - or maybe I can try the public library

Whatever I do - it is something I have to read - I have that feeling which is so often true - the movie can only touch the top of the story - what was it like for an adopted child of a Communist living in the home of someone pretending to up-hold the Fatherland and having a Jewish man hiding in the house and all the time the suspicions of the Nazis?

I don't think I could imagine even if I read the book - or rather - when I read it

But great yes - I might watch it again today - I did not sleep well last night and have a strong feeling that it is nearly time to stop this and take a break - that young woman is a brilliant actress -

@Decadian just realised meant another book, The Prosperous Thief
