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 @Susan62

This is a virtual coffee shop, a big of a meeting ground for a little bit of mental time out somewhere across the day. Come and meet some other carers if you would like to.

Hi @Former-Member Tree loppers were were chainsawing & mincing (mulching branches) away, for over 5 hours.

Yes, noisy.

They dropped big branches (from back neighbour's yard) over my fence - but then they came & cleaned them up.

Finally some peace & quiet....

Did they offer you some of the mulch for your garden @Adge ?

I didn't think of that @Former-Member No, but that's okay.

I have lots of nice leaf litter (out the back), that's fertilising the soil, & suppressing weeds.

That's how I've improved the soil (along with mushroom compost), over the years.

It's pure sand, where I've not improved its (with organic matter).

@Adge

Was wondering if the therapeutic properties of plantation grown beans may assist in your recovery

If coffee and chocolate doesn't hit the spot these lemon meringue cheesecakes might.

There is enough to share with the new community engagement night shift crew.
