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.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @Former-Member. It's good to be back. @TAB - not sending hugs - some days - they are just not what you want. But sending you my best thoughts.
Have mowed 3/4 of my 1/4 acre block. That sounds weird. Have left the last quarter for another day. It's whers the grass is to my knees. Have cleaned out all the weeds etc from my drainage gutter - that runs along side the house. Filled the green waste bin to overflowing.
Stopped a few times and looked and smelt the nes blooms on one of my apple trees. Stood there for about 20 minutes - just watching all the different insects on that one tree. Very very soothing. Quite meditative I think. I used to do this alot before I got sick with my MI. So it's fantastic to discover that it still soothes me..
I hope everyone's day is going well.

Hello @utopia xx

that is great that it still soothes you my friend

it is funny when mowing other peoples lawns , I think it must be the smell of freshly cut grass and the willy wagtails. darting in front of the mower catching insects and one day i even had a chicken followering me behind the mower makesme feel relaxed
