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 50km cycling is still impressive @Determined

70 laps of the pool @Shaz51 I could never manage even one lap (I sank), I cannot swim to save myself.

My birds are pretty good & happy thanks.

I added one new Goldfinch (to the other 2) about a week ago.

Well, I just couldn't leave her in the shop all by herself, could I?

So I brought her home, to have 2 new friends.

I finally got my first motorcycle before Christmas @Adge after 25 years of dreaming about it but putting it off because everyone else thought it was a bad idea. Loving it 😁

Been a while since I managed 50km on a push bike. That is one of my goals by the end if the year.

I'm glad you're loving having your motorcycle @Determined

There's nothing like it - noises are louder, I could even hear every raindrop hit my helmet.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Adge I am finding on the bike I am noticing so much more of my surroundings.

Seeing things I have never noticed before along roads I have been traveling on for years.

Even some of the smells in rural areas that take me back to childhood that you don't get in the car.

How did lunch go today @Former-Member

Trust it all went smoothly for you and not too much for Mr D...

I know how anxious my darling gets when we have people over,

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Lunch went well @Determined we had a pleasant time and guests did not overstay 😀.

How did your beach outing go?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Outing went well @Former-Member

We went to sizzler for lunch and went for a short walk along the beach (well on the path above the beach anyway, Im not a fan of the sand) and the children had a play in 2 different parks so they were happy. Pretty tired by the time we got home though. Hopeful of a more decent sleep tonight.

Trust you do sleep well @Determined , after your ride/stroll your body might be in need of rest.
