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.

Have a few jobs on the list @outlander, hoping to get to the movies this afternoon. Need to get my rear end into gear and make a start. 😀 @Former-Member is well ahead this morning with meal prep done.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Former-Member I hope you get to the movies this arvo. Is there a movie you hope to see, or taking pot luck with whats on?

Yep, nothing beats the old crock pot for ease and convenience. Throw on some raggy rough tough meat, some veges and flavourings, turn it on low for an all day tenderization process and .... voila ... tender fall-off-the-bone flavoursime economical meal. Ahhhh .... I hope. 😉

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Good morning (or now afternoon) @Former-Member, that lamb chop meal in the slow cooker should be starting to smell nicely right now! What team do you cheer for?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Shaz51, hope you were taking it easy on that mowing!

Two morning teas in one weekend sounds fancy! Do you have little cakes and sandwiches?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Ali11 @Shaz51 the aromas eminating from the kitchen are pretty enticing.

My team in the AFL (my favoured type of footy) is the Sydney Swans. In the NRL I follow the Canberra Raiders.

The Swans play this afternoon up in Brisbane, against @Zoe7 's team the Brisbane Lions. My Swannies are not doing very good this year and are near the bottom of the ladder. Lots of new young players in the team, plus hit by lots of early season injuries have resulted in a slow start to the year. Do you follow any footy Ali?

ha ha @Ali11 , @Former-Member

brought some things from the bakery , usually have too much food as everyone tnds to bring something anyway

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

The poor Swannies @Former-Member, they definitely aren't having the best season, but when you've got green players it does take a couple of years to build them up. Sport (playing and watching) is something that I love to do in my spare time! What other sports do you like to watch?

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Thats true @Ali11 .

Umm .. I love all sport really. Maybe not motor sports though. I used to play lots of different sports. But age, injuries and lack of time and opportunity now means my sporting prowess is pretty much limited to the television remote.😐
