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.

Bliss @Sophie1 we have been busy working in the garden, not enjoying a cuppa out there.

@Former-Member has a spot outdoors too especially suited for a cuppa.

That sounds lovely @Sophie1.
Hi there @Shaz51 and @Adge.
Just read the gardening thread post from you @Former-Member - very industrious of you I must say. And on a public holiday too. But gardening is good.
We have an overcast day here right now. Beautiful and sunny earlier though, then a spot or two of rain and now just warm calm and overcast. Nice though.
And yes Darcy I do have a really good spot out on our deck for a cuppa. Especially in winter when the sun is lower in the Northern sky. The sun comes over and its just gorgeous on a cold, but sunny, day. A place out of the wind where you can absorb some winter sun. And subsequently some Vitamin D. Very important. Actually where we have the easychairs set up the sun comes only up to neck level, so face and eyes are in shade. So you dont have to squint in the sun. Yep ... thought of everything!

A bit of a shout out here to @Tufftimes. I havent seen you around for a couple of weeks. When I 'saw' you last however, you were quite distressed. I really hope you are okay. Everyone would love to see you again if or when you are ready to return.

Not all hard labour, we had walked the dog earlier, then had a reprieve with an unexpected bonus today @Former-Member , neighbour sent a message asking if we wanted to join them for lunch - home made fish & chips - her partner had caught the fish.

Ohhhh yummy @Former-Member ......... Fish Friday.

I think my goldfish are not quite ready for the deepfryer yet. 🤣

Couple of pics of where I like to sit for morning cuppa's here. View from the seats overlooking the fish pond, and view of the seats from behind the fishpond. You will see little Holly trotting along the deck in the background there too. And yes @Shaz51 we have horses and cattle in the paddocks just back from where this pic shows. And lots of bird life, including regular kookaburra visitors, and occasional hawks, heaps of different types of parrots such as rainbow lorrikeets, grass parrots, etc. Occasional black cockatoo, and the more usual sulpher crested as well. Plus plenty of noisy minors, magpies, sparrows, etc.

Love the fish pond @Former-Member ❣️

Love all of it actually .... 😏

Bit of an upset this morning @Former-Member ..... mr. did a “my way or the highway” on me and threw my time and arrangements for prepping living space for the incoming kids into the air ..... or I would have missed coming to the airport to greet them in ..... grrr ..... but I managed a nap this afternoon, and heading out bowling now ..... group organisation a bit wonky, but getting there.
