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.

Well with all those yummy goodies (your food platter), I'm sure they will @Former-Member

Good food will definitely warm the tummy, even if it doesn't drive the wind away.

Evening all, my first post in the new format! Hope we all had a nice day. Jealous of your rain @Adge, would love to see some in SE QLD.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Fair enough, maybe I can send you some rain @Anna88

Our annual rainfall is about half of what it is on most of the east coast. It's much drier here.

Our rainfall all comes in Winter, with hot dry Summers...

Well in that case @Adge I'll let you keep it, you might need it more then me 🙂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes we do need it @Anna88

Because the dams have only been about 1/3 full, for many years.

I'm very happy to share though.

If you're having a dry spell in SE Qld, then I'm sure you could do with some too.

Hey @Anna88 @Adge

I have just been reading up on the South Indian Dipole and ENSO and El Nino. Apparently we are neurtal now but so many variables. Am a bit cold atm, better wrap up.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Interesting @Appleblossom, so does neutral mean normal average weather?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Apparently! We yo yo between an El Nino hi temp and lo rain state and the opposite La Nina .. all to do with heat of water in the Pacific and wind ... I guess we have to average out the stats over time.

Its regular but not like clockwork

Evening all! Am glad for the rain in the West today. Should have been at tennis but had cancel it cause the courts be too wet. A blessing in disguise as I am super tired and could use a rest. Just been feeling like am running on stress and Adrenalin past week!

@Faith-and-Hope - has moving interstate helped your son so far? I hope things with yourself are going well.

@outlander @Determined - thanks for the welcome back. I hope you both are doing ok.

Hi everyone .... 👋💕

@Anony18, the move has and hasn’t helped. Son has been up and working one minute, and flat as a pancake, lacking engagement and self-confidence the next ..... but he has to keep stepping up and stepping forward, even if it’s two forward and one back,
