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.

No it's Electiric @Determined Probably far too quiet.

I shall have to get a petrol 2-Stroke one.

The old Victor 2-Stroke Mowers used to be brilliant (probably not available).

The illegal (unregistered) 2-Stroke motorcycle (across the road) is very noisy....

Has it cooled down a little today @Adge ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes it is cooler today @Former-Member Thanks.

Still warm, though more manageable.

I worried that I might lose my baby Java finches, through over-heating.

As far as I can see they are still happily bobbing their heads in the nestbox - though not peering out through the hole, like yesterday.

I don't usually do nestbox inspections - because many finches (& budgies) abandon their babies, when you get too close (they throw them out of the nest).

So that's why I don't always know there are baby birds in the nest - until they come out, fully-feathered.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I'm off shortly @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Determined @Smc

To have Moscato, cheese & crackers with my back neighbour.

I bought her slices of Passionfruit topped Cheesecake.

She says she loves hearing my Canaries singing (over the fence).

We haven't done our reciprocal invites as often recently - so I shall have to get onto that.

It's my turn to invite her over (next), in fact I think today was supposed to be my turn...

To have Moscato, cheese & crackers--- ohhh yummm @Adge

I would really like that now

love to have a glass of wine

In response to: Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Shaz51 I should buy Moscato for myself (I never do).

I only like sweet wines (not dry), either white or red.

Fortunately for me, my neighbour likes sweet wines (mostly Moscato), so that's what we have.

I don't drink much, just a little to help me to sleep (sometimes).

One glass is my limit - otherwise I get too sleepy (& can't talk).
