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

Hi @Queenie Great you got what you wanted. Sorry I am totally unhelpful re APPLE stuff ... lol .. not good with any mobile phone actually.

@Decadian @Kurra & @Former-Member

I am on clay too, but once it starts to break down it can be reasonable to gorw things in.

I lost an eremophila one dastardly summer .. it was so beautiful .. but still have one.

I am big on divide and propagate .. daisies, wild lilies, grasses, irises, succulents, hardy is necessary.

Had a bit of fun in a phone call to a water board .. and council .. about rubbish left behind after our big wind .. and am getting serious attenzione. There was doubt as to who owned which land and who had the job of clearing it .... hmmm ...getting sorted.

We didnt have a garden often when growing up .. so I have enjoyed finding my green thumb. Thumb wasnt always that way!

Re: Night Shift

Great news @Queenie! I've used Apple phones when I've needed to for work. They seem to be much of a muchness but I personally prefer android.

I'll be putting a new layer of cane mulch on my garden when I get my next lot of days off. It rots down so quickly that it improves the clay quite quickly @Appleblossom.

Hi @Shaz51 I'm thinking of you and I'm pleased you're resting up a bit.

Hi @Former-Member!

Re: Night Shift

Hi @Appleblossom

I live on a sand belt - lots of ants and hydrophobic soil

I have set my new herbs and lettuce - it is so clumsy working with gloves - I might have to reset them unless they overcome their traumatic relocation

And the US Election - oh the pain of it all - the pain -

I couldn't get into the website for a short while - my computerl had to update - it has done so

I'm glad you have a green thumb Apple - I think I have a brown elbow - I am not good at gardening

Hello @Decadian

I am not good at gardening either ,

I plant things and they have to grow by themselves

Derest @Decadian

I've got a brown elbow too. Thanks for that great little words there.

@Shaz51 Great we think alike too.

I CANNOT believe that Trump might win. My brother just bought a home in San FRansisco.

Re: Night Shift

@PeppiPatty and @Shaz51

The lack of gardening skills girls - I didn't think of that when I suggested dd do a gardening apprenticeship

It looks like Trump is in - can't believe the Free World can stand this - the less said the better - but I feel the need to sound off
