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 everyone ..... 🖐

Finished at uni for the day and doing a caffiene top-up ..... apparently have family art night happening tonight, but maybe not ..... mixed reports coming back. I am still a bit heart-sore after a fall-out situation with hubby yesterday, but he is often sorry about how he behaved in hindsight, and unable to apologise .... so submitting himself to an art-producing experience is actually huge for him, and he is saying he is in ..... son is not sure at this stage, but it's everyone, or not happening .... so we will see.

Hi @Faith-and-Hope... and anyone else around.

I won't go for caffeine at this time of day, but if anyone else wants a jaffa-hot-choc?

Having an "odd" day here. Feeling flat, can't quite pin down why. Probably "everything in general and nothing in particular".

Hey @Former-Member, @Adge, @Appleblossom, had a froggy moment here this morning. I'm potting on some seedlings from punnets into bigger "growing on" pots. Tipped out a potful of soil to re-use, and a Pobblebonk frog had been hiding in it. So I gently relocated him/her to a shady damp spot near the worm farm. They're burrowing frogs, so they like soft, slightly moist soil. Their call is a "bonk" sound, and when you get a whole lot of them calling together to try to attract a female, it sounds like "pobblebonk", hence the name. 🙂

Hope that art evening is a goer @Faith-and-Hope. Sounds like your family could use a restorative activity.

Those Pobblebonk frogs look gorgeous @Smc

Especially since they're a burrowing frog.

I've never come across a burrowing frog before.

That reminds me that I once discovered a Motorbike frog, living in the waterwell of my large pot.

It was a tiny courtyard of a rented flat, with no lake or any water anywhere nearby.

So how it got into my pot waterwell remains a mystery....
