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.

@Appleblossom Camembert or brie lasting more than one meal - wouldn't happen at our place 😀

Ha ha @Former-Member

The Brie is gone, still 1/3 of a cam wheel left.

His gf is vegan and I appreciate she is fine with us consuming cheeses around her.

We have been having it more often as it is on son's keto diet.

@Appleblossom are you noticing any benefits of keto diet?

Seems more cheerful and keeping weight from blowing out. He is allergic to micro managing .. I am not getting in with magnifying glass ... I am not totally for it .. but will support it.

Going through a lot of bacon eggs .. but its easy and feels more satisfying .. pun ... to feed him the right amount that is tasty.

I would imagine that trying to keep a young man well fed with limited carbs would be a challenge @Appleblossom.

Hello all, am back after spending Saturday partying and Sunday recuperating! 😄

Didn't overindulge... not that sort of recovery. 😛 The party was alcohol-free (all hire and bond costs doubled if you had alcoholic drinks at the event) and we were so busy catching up with people that we didn't end up eating much. But we did have some musical friends in attendance, and one does bushdance calling, so we did "The Pride of Erin" and "The Waves of Bondi". I'm not bushdancing often enough- two dances should not have left me with aching legs. 😄 And we were both on an adrenaline high afterwards, so it took ages to fall asleep. But it was a wonderful day. Lots of fun. You know when the little kids at the party are enjoying themselves as well as the adults, you've got the fun level about right.

Much of it thanks to our family. If it had been up to me, I don't think it would have happened.

@s-jay trust you are settling in well. Would you like one of these pot plants for your desk?

Also on offer are these edible pot plants - choc cupcakes with lollipop flowers - all welcome to tuck in.

I got a few edible pots as pressies on the weekend. Things like horseradish, burdock, edible daylily, salad burnett... my friends know me well!

Anyone wanna share some party biscotti with me? 🙂
