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

Pretty relaxed actually ....

Leaving this dos town in the morning, but went to the supermarket this afternoon, and out front are glass windows on the ground .... underneath are the ruins of old dos baths from the 3 - 400's AD.

Will post photos on F&A thread ....

There is also what looks like the ruins of another more modern bath-house up the street from the old hotel where we are staying. Will try to take a photo of it in the morning before we leave. Looks to be around 200 years old. There is a cave that served as a spa for the Roman / Byzantine emperors prior to the ruined bath-house being constructed somewhere in town too .... but will post an Internet version of that.

MIL in a sh/t mood today, but manageable .... been anti-social most of the day which relieves the rest of us from trying to hold conversation with her .... she has a crick in her back but I think it's more about that interfering with her endeavour to diet and exercise aka WH and his "results" than her sore back ....

Whatever ..... manageable .... and there hasn't been much of it this trip .... thankfully.

Weather here a glorious 9deg ... lol ...but sunshine and blue skies .... opposite to snowing yesterday ...,,

Re: Night Shift

Sounds interesting @Faith-and-Hope. The whole culture of baths is kind of fascinating really. And all before chlorine 😂 I wonder if they used anything to help with hygiene, are they salt?

Glad you are feeling relaxed. I guess it's harder to be taken down by others moods when there's something new and interesting every day to distract you. I suppose there are days that it's still hard when lots are tired and frustrated though.

Weather 36 and humid here today but I didn't really manage to go outside 😏:face_with_rolling_eyes:
