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.

☕️

@HenryX, yeah, they are a bit of a tease. 😛 But often too a good reminder to slow down, relax, and have a real cuppa.

Classic tim tam, or one of the flavoured ones? There's so many nowadays it's impossible to keep up!

My only-ever overseas travel has been a few short trips to China with a group from Aus, Canada, US and a few from Hong Kong. We'd take tim tams with to share. Popular both with our Chinese hosts and the non-Aussies in the group, particularly the US contingent.

Meanwhile, I'd discovered that the supermarkets there sold green tea Oreos... ooh yum!

I am having a red wine and dark chocolate...

How are we all? I am loving this rainiy weather. I have had a massive week, every day i work in manual labour, come home, had a bath and went to sleep. It's been lovely,

I have arms like slyvestor stallone but not much energy for anything else.

I'm not so great with persistent rainy weather @AussieRecharger. It stops me from getting out in the garden, which is my go-to for relaxing. And exercise, fresh air, sense of achievement etc.
But the soil and plants need it, so I'd better put up with it. 🙂

What I call "gardener's weather" is when it rains overnight but is clear during the day. On the rare occasions that happens, everything grows like crazy. And I can get out there to enjoy it- Yay!

Yeah... not quite the same though. The "being outside" part of it is a big part of the attraction.
I did recently buy myself a pet Venus Fly Trap off the reduced to clear trolley at the garden centre. The poor thing looked lonely and neglected. 😛

Got my greenhouse @Shaz51, and that's something. 🙂

Tomato plants in there have so far survived a number of below zero nights, and are even managing to put on new growth.
