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.

Hello @ShiningStar

Hope that you are well. Pleased to hear back from you and that you seem to be well.

Haven't tried marshmallow in chocolate before. Since the weather has been so cold, I think that it might be something I could try as a warmer. Coffee is my regular preferred drink, though I like tea in summer.

Best Wishes

Hi @HenryX

It’s lovely to hear from you

Thank you so much! Although I still need to attend weekly physiotherapy appointments, I’m definitely on the road to recovery

I think that hot chocolate is a wonderful winter warmer and it may be something that you really enjoy too!

I also enjoy drinking tea and I tend to drink this all year round!

Unfortunately, although I love the smell of coffee, I find it difficult to tolerate the taste! I really wish that this was different, as I’ve always thought that there was something sophisticated about drinking coffee

Take care,

ShiningStar

Hi Peoples!

Back from visiting my parents and easing back into the forum. 🙂

They live on the southern side of one of the "border bubble" communities, so we were nervously watching news of increasing restrictions on both sides of the border. Thankfully we were able to visit them under very gentle restrictions. Their aged care home closed to visitors the day after we left... whew.

Hello @EmilyS

Here is another thread that you might enjoy. I call some of these threads "Tastebud teasers" because we are shown some lovely images of food and drink, but it is all digital, so we just drool and make our own.

Best Wishes

Is it cold enough tonight for a hot chocolate..

Back to assignment mode tonight and a meeting for a volunteer group thingy i do.. i am hoping the hot chocolate keeps me from talking to much and i give others a chance to talk.

How is everyone in lockdownville? Have you all ordered enough marshmallows?

@AussieRecharger, here in rural Vic we're out of lockdown (for now... will see what comes).

We live in a small town, went into the local rural city for our fortnighly shopping trip today, and had trouble finding parking places! Seriously peoples... it was only two weeks! Did people really get that stir crazy????

Assume you're in New South? Sounds like you're in for a longer haul. Stay safe.

Gotta get our fire going. 'Cos we were out shopping, it hasn't been lit today. Had my first vaccine dose yesterday and am feeling a litte under the weather as a result, so that's not helping my get-up-and-do-something motivation levels. 😛
