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.

YUM @Faith-and-Hope

A couple of years ago I was doing a concert in a fancy hotel and they had a model table brimming with beautiful dishes, platters of game, fruits and cakes. It was the size of a real long dining table ....and very colourful.

@Appleblossom, in Japan, restaurants display "sampuru"- plastic or resin models of food as a kind of 3D menu. Some of them look almost disturbingly real.

Good to see you too @Appleblossom 🤗💕

@Former-Member, they weren’t my creation (bikkies) .... just an example of papier-mâché food art .....

Here’s another one - pizza 🍕 😊

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Appleblossom, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only adult in the modern world who hasn't got a drivers' license! Mind you, you're doing better than me taking lessons. I'm not really up to trying to learn something new at the moment, so my poor learners' permit languishes in my purse until a bank teller asks for photo ID... It's been languishing for a loooong time.

oooh dear @Smc lol ...

I have walked, cycled etc and have sympathy for non car users and use a lot of public transport where possible, but I meant

I was doing a lesson with my son ... who is 25 ... so he counts ... as adult still on his learners ...

I almost wish I did not have a licence ... I was even glad when I lost it a few years ago for a year ... I could stop being chauffeur ... we survived without it ... but as I have it back ... gotta do the right thing ...expand horizons responsibly ...

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Ahhh... oops!

I'll count his 25 years as adult, yeah...
