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.

Morning peoples. Anzac bikkies to go around.

Our town ceremony will be starting about now. In previous years I've gone down for the march, but I think I'd be feeling it a bit too much at the moment, so I'll remember at home. We live close enough to the Cenotaph that I'll hear the Last Post/Reveille from here.
Does everyone know the meaning of the two bugle calls? Last Post was played at sunset or at funerals (the sunset of life) and Reveille was played at sunrise to wake everyone up. So the order they're played in is a way of remembering those who died, and stating a hope of their resurrection.

A few much liked people from our town have died recently, so there will be some faces missing this year. They lived well, and that's what I'll be remembering.

My coffee break is over, thanks for bikkies @Smc, time to get a couple of jobs done ... catch you all later.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

No I didn't do Dawn Service @Bunniekins I haven't done that in years.

Not since I was a Scouts leader.

It's a good idea, I often went when I was young.

All the best with those jobs @Former-Member No meaningful plans for me yet, I'm still working on it...

There's always plenty on my "To Do" list...
