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.

Agh @Shaz51 what a pain, literally! Hope the new tablets work quickly.
It sounds as if you really enjoyed the visit from your sister in law and Peppa. It's almost always enjoyable having visitors. I've been out mowing the grass today but there's one section I'll have to do with hand shears because I've got poppies flowering in the middle of the grass.

It might be a good idea to have an early night tonight. 🎶💕

Re: Night Shift

Poppies growing up in the lawn sounds beautiful @Kurra! All the spring flowers have died back in our garden now. Summer has definitely arrived!

Re: Night Shift

It is beautiful @Queenie. My garden is a mass of colour at the moment. We're well behind you weather wise so many of my plants are only just beginning to flower whilst others are in full bloom. Our days are getting a bit warmer too. We got up to 24 today although it was quite windy.

I can't claim to have lawn Queenie. It's more a case of mowing the paddock weeds and grass to keep them under control. 😆🎶💕

Hi @Shaz51, @Queenie, @Kurra,

its lovely to have you back @Kurra. Its sounds like you've had a really productive time off. How long before you are back at work?

Really sorry you have another kidney infection @Shaz51. It must be so frustrating. I hope this one clears up soon. It's nice that you've had visitors.

Hiya @Queenie. I'm a bit of a techno geek in that I love new technology, it's the best feeling getting something new. I was really late coming to the technology party but crave it now and get excited by it. My days are numbered for now getting anything new but I like to check stuff out anyway. Have fun tomorrow

hugs all 💜🤗

Re: Night Shift

I've got 2 more days of freedom and then I work the next 5 days @Former-Member. I'm working Thursday to Monday and then I've got 3 days off. It's good to have time to do my own stuff like the garden etc. 🎶💕
