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.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hope it goes well for you @HenryX. We had plans on doing a lot of work on our place after we got flooded in 2011, but then our Older Daughter's mental health deteriorated, and with our parents getting elderly as well (mine now in aged care) it's been too many things one on top of the other. But the plus side is that I've had a lot of time to think through our plans, and have tweaked or totally changed a lot of the ideas I had back then, for the better I think.

@Bunniekins, salty carbs are my go-to comfort food. I've tried out some interesting variations over time, and this one is actually surprisingly nice. Only available in Asian grocery stores. 😛

Have covered my frost tender plants... more or less. Enough to hopefully get them through a light frost. Gonna have an easy dinner tonight- reheated tuna mornay.

@Smc

Yes, I do understand those types of changes and the reasons for them. I think you may be aware that my Mum was with me during the past ten years. A pleasure and a privilege. While Mum was with me, we changed plans a number of times.

It is interesting how ideas can change. We look back at plans, either in our minds or notes or fully prepared plans, and time and circumstance and extra knowledge make what we thought some time back, virtually redundant.

Once again, thank you for those suggestions which quickly changed my plans. They have given more strength to the initial ideas that I had.

Cheers

HenryX

Mmmm, that looks yummy @Shaz51. 🙂

I'm not a huge sweet tooth, so I've found if it's too late in the day for a coffee drink, salted caramel works for me. (With a bit less cream and topping though.)

HI @Shaz51,
Hope the evening's been an improvement on the rest of the day. I think sometimes when we're running full on, it all catches up to us when we stop.

Cool-ish here, so the last couple of evenings I've had the wood stove burning, more for warmth than for cooking, although it's done a bit of both.
