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 @Shaz51

Lovely flowers @Former-Member

I'm a sucker for flowers - having been a Green thumb as a kid.

Long before I went into Horticulture & Gardening.

I love Heritage (Old World) Roses - I have only one left.

Lamarque, a Noisette climbing rose (white), very fragrant.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Shaz51, @Adge, @Former-Member... Thankx💙💚💛 My day wasn't entirely useless... Got the filing cabinets into the house. Even got in a Dr Visit (iron too low so off to specialist for further investigations, what's new ). She's not gonna budge on her $20 gap fee - said "that's just my fees" - even for a f/up result visit, $93 consult for a GP 😕 I'll keep looking round. Crashed when I got home, slept solid 2hrs and woke time disorientated... but furbaby keeps me grounded. The problem fridge is still defrosting but should have it clean and back in place tomorrow. Ta4asking Darcy. Forgot you're also a plant man @Adge 🤗

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes you do sound very productive today @Former-Member

Growing plants (when very young) gave me more joy than my parents (family) ever did.

I germinated palm trees (from seed), & grew Callistemons (Bottlebrush) from cutting, when about 10 years old (or younger).

I just loved seeing things grow.

I had a whole tiny ecosystem of soil insects & tiny critters living happily in my small glass terrarium - along with the club moss, & tropical plants.
