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.

@plasmo @TAB

I write songs and use a note recogniser to transcribe it to sheet music. I can play very little piano but can't play and read music at the same time. Also don't know chords so I have a friend that puts those in for me.

I've written about half a dozen songs but have a decent voice and a bit of training in that.

I'm performing a duet with my music friend at our annual soup and song night.

People have been requesting for years, I finally caved. But I love the song "I will rise" by Chris Tomlin

I'm not great at checking threads unless I'm tagged 😅

Cats are fun to play with

My cat is fun in playing hide and seek and stressing me out.

I was given a dangerous idea by a friend of mine today...

She said since I don't have a laundry sink to burn documents and photos in here then I can get a metal bucket with a bottle of water on standby...

Play safe with matches lol my cat went away 24hrs ate and left again just back now. It's a ginger Tom crossed with Arctic fox or something. It's coat that thick It's like it walks around underneath it. Oh plus jumps in air to dive on things like Arctic fox
