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.

Evening @outlander @Former-Member @Adge @Shaz51 @Former-Member

I think it's just one off those evenings for a lot of us.

I love all the pictures

I have similar place to yours @outlander very old Housing trust place and just cannot get rid of the heat either, using fans and lots of cold showers, I can't handle the heat anymore as I got older get migraines all the time with anything over 30,

This week has gone so slow next 2 days suppose to be above 45 so I. Ight just live in the shower I reckon.

Sounds pretty cool @Adge and @outlander with some Xmas carols driving in the streets reminds me off when I lived in England, haven't had any of that here.

I hope you all get a cool change over the evening

They seem to be ok. We have plenty of shade for them and we also make them iceblocks to put in their water. If its very hot we go down twice or 3 times a day to put more iceblocks in for them. Usually they have a carrot or apple cut up in there too so as it melts they are enticed to drink some of the water to get the apple pieces

Holly feels the heat @Former-Member and likes air conditioned comfort. She feels the cold too though, and loves the wood fire in winter.

Our whippet is flaked out where she is getting some of the air conditioning @Former-Member and we try and walk her after tea. The transition from country lane stroll to walking along the old railway line - now walking track that is shared is still a work in progress, she managed about 1/2 this evening.

Jelly cat seems to be managing the heat (outside) quite well @Former-Member She wants to go outside in it (mostly).

Whereas heavy rain (only in Winter here), & cold in Winter, she is scared of.

I have trouble persuading Jelly to come in at night, in Summer (she wants to stay out).

In Winter, Jelly stays inside a lot more - & is more snuggly & friendly (added bonus).

Hi @Adge how has your day been

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi @Former-Member Today has been somewhat hectic, a bit of spontaneous, exhausting - achieved most important things (in the end).

How about you?

I wrote a few Christmas cards.

Then used used the opportunity of dropping a card off to my neighbour (when I found she was home) - to ask if she was free to come over before Christmas.

It's my turn to invite her over (reciprocal invites).

Some decluttering done (this morning).

New Diary for next year now organised, with dates & appoinments written in.
