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.

@Ali11, yeah but ye olde English is fun to read. 🙂 For me, anyway. I enjoy languages, and the older versions of English show where our own has come from. English is crazily mixed up compared to a lot of languages. For some reason, everyone seemed to want to invade that rainy little country. 😛 I can guarantee, in this one post, there will be words from Greek, Latin and Middle English (Continental French-ish), and probably others too. Saxon, Norman, Germanic, who knows??

That is so true @Smc, they say that English is the hardest language to learn, do you agree?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Ali11, it's probably true. It's a very inconsistent language, and very obvious when someone gets it "wrong".

@Smc whenever someone is learning English I think of how tricky those little sayings are, like "I deserted my dessert in the desert", or "We wear our wares to the weir, where we were last week", "Here is the heir's hair". But learning about verbs in any of the romance languages is tough too, or the tones in Cantonese, over 50,000 kanji in Japanese and over 85,000 in Chinese. Languages are fascinating. It'd be incredible to speak four or five languages.

Seeing as it is election day I thought it appropriate to put on a sausage sizzle and cake stall for lunch 😀.
