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 @NikNik. Hoping for a good one. It's (finally) turned cold here, so I need to move the summer accumulata away from our woodstove so we can light it.

And our silly chook has badly timed a hard moult. Three or four days ago, she was fully feathered. Now she has bare patches all over the place. The new ones will grow fast, but really???

@Former-Member Gorgeous

Yesterday I was gazing at a flock of helmeted guinea fowl (8-9), one was over grooming and very patchy ... every time I sang to them they all popped their heads up it was fun and a cute moment.

Hey @Determined @Faith-and-Hope @NikNik

Look, the Helmeted Guinea Fowl, & her chicks, are listening to you sing. They love the sound of your beautiful voice. You sound like a, Birdy Angel, singing to them, @Appleblossom XO Bella

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

You are so beautiful Bella.

Thats what they look like! These were all adult and quite large (at the zoo) but free range. Our CEO is South African and is great at expanding animal selection and concepts ... All their little heads popped up like a choir. I was hoping that they would sing or talk back. They just listened which was nice too.

But YOU Fully Human Woman did talk back.

@Former-Member

I did not feel too loopy as we were taught by the chief birder to talk to the birds on a workshop ... a lot of female fairy wrens came around me where as the guinea fowl flock moved a few yards away as a unit ...so now I am finally indulging my childhood Dr DoLittle/St Francis fantasies.

Have a Good Day ALL

@Former-Member, thankfully she's not as bare as that one... yet. You can see her new feathers already growing, so hoping they'll emerge fast enough to keep her warm. She should re-feather before we get our first "proper" frost.

We had hail coming down while we were having lunch. Not too much, and very small hailstones, but ooh, brrrrr!

Evening all, hope we've all had a good Friday-eve
