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.

Re: Night Shift
I am fine thank you @PeppyPatty, it is a sunny day and I am servicing my computer, doing house work and doing some gardening.. I have not been outside all week, so happy to have sun on my face again.
A coffee would be lovely @PeppyPatty, milk and no sugar please very strong too 🙂
I am glad you like the boat, it was a lot of work.
I am glad I stayed yesterday, I didn't feel like it, but it helped me so much, to lift my mood. Thank you so much for helping me.
@PeppyPatty would it be possible legal to clear your mind of all external influences and write to your brother from your heart, just say what you feel, let the words flow, you feelings and thoughts of him, block out what your mother says, he will make up his own mind, you are a nice person, I am so honored to have met you, I know your brother loves you, just reach out to him.
Good luck @PeppyPatty, my thoughts are with you my friend.
Jacques

Re: Night Shift
Wow Jacques - that is fantastic - I really love it.
I'll see if I can take some photos of the prints of my sailing ships. There's quite a story - and I have a model of the - darn - the label has fallen off and I can't think of the name - I think It's The Polly Woodside.
I'm cheating though - it's one of my collections - I collect things -
Like pretty rocks, small vases, shells and (ahahaha) garden gnomes
I'll look for your other ships
