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.

Take it in baby steps @Determined ..... maybe do the mowing in stages and spill it into the coming week a little too ..... you have a ride-on, don’t you ? Can you do that as a study-break, coffee in hand ?

Have you considered cutting a bit of a maze into the grasses areas @Determined ? Would the boys get a kick out of that, even if the grass isn’t that high, you just need there to be a difference between the mowed “paths” and the in-mowed “hedges”.

Just trying to think creatively ...... it means you could mow the rest of the grass next weekend once the novelty has passed.

Mow a maze into the grass...
My ocd would not allow that @Faith-and-Hope
Everything needs to be straight or it stresses me out. More so than having things not done. I am a walking talking contradiction lol.

Okay ..... noted for future reference @Determined ..... lol .... no strange F&H maze suggestions .....

Just looked outside, chooks have already found another way out of their run (which is larger than the average suburban back yards on offer these days) ... did I mention we are not very handy ... perhaps when the weather has cooled ...

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope & @Former-Member

Yes @Determined I can certainly relate to that - I've driven in the wrong direction, when I was not thinking of where I was going (went on auto-pilot)...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Sounds like your chooks are closely related to our stupid dog @Former-Member,

Sneaky chooks @Former-Member

I grew up with Chinse Silky Bantams (lots of them) - I remember them sneaking out & about...

One time they got in through the wire side fence, & ate my entire patch of lovely Violets (must have been tasty). They ate the lot.

I was not happy...
