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.

Hi @Troy ....., come and meet some more carers over here. This is one of our more social threads where we can stop in and take a break .....: just be able to say hi to others who understand the carer role, and make some connections over a virtual coffee.

Some of us actually make a coffee and sit with it while we chat. It is so important to know that we are not alone.

Morning all.

@Former-Member, 5th Grade Piano's not sluggish... 🙂 I got to 6th Violin and started studying 7th, but I don't play often enough. I'd probably find 3rd to 4th Grade music an appropriate challenge at the moment. I can sing and play recorder too, and dabble out a few chords and a melody line on a keyboard instrument, but no formal training in those.

(For those not in the know- AMEB (Australian Musical Examinations Board) Grade 6-7 is about VCE Music level. The grades beyond that are effectively teaching/professional levels. Anything from about 3rd-4th upwards is probably good enough to join the local orchestra, as long as you put in appropriate practice time!)

Hello everyone,

I hope you had a great evening, thnk you for the invites I appreciate it.

I had a strained evening last night my wife is struggling with jealousy over the forums and she went through a serious episode that lasted about 3 hours.

So my life is never dull.

Today is a new day and a new opportunity to live learn and grow.

Have an amazing day people
