Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

Isnt that a way to stain your paper too? I remember doing something like that to make my paper look old- was a letter from someone in the first fleet and made the paper that browny colour @Faith-and-Hope

I used to be in a craft group @Faith-and-Hope and we made and dressed little calico dolls. We often used coffee and tea to stain the calico different skin tones.👩‍🎨

Yes @outlander @Catcakes .... tea and coffee both come under the vegetable dyes category. One of the ancient ways of dyeing eggs for Easter is to boil them in onion skins .... or beetroot juice ..... and I think boiling them with cabbage leaves turns them blue .... ?

In any case, you need vinegar in the water too to set the dye.
