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.

☕️

@Smc where we are we have only had the 1 lockdown at the start but every time there is a locldown anywhere in the state even when we are unaffected people here go mad and empty the shelves. Can't follow the logic lol.

@Determined, I was pleased to see that this time the local small supermarket didn't get all the toilet paper stripped from its shelves. I guess fifth time around, people are more or less getting the message that there's enough to go around.

We have the same problem every time the river rises despite it being almost 10 years since the last proper flood and when we do get a propper flood we have weeks of advance warning.

@Determined, we're near the headwaters here, so we don't get much warning. And although most of our food storage was above the waterline, I can guarantee you that that's the only time a full pantry has been a liability. Trying to find dry storage spots for it all... whew!

We are lucky that our home is well above the high water mark. But we do become marooned and unable to go anywhere.

Good morning everyone,

I'm here to share a virtual hot chocolate and send love, especially to those facing lockdown and isolation.

Hi @Anastasia.
Cloudy here, but at least it's not raining.

I managed to make a batch of these yesterday- Spiced Treacle Biscuits. They're not bad. Very firm and chewy. First time I'd tried the recipe. 🙂

They look so good @Smc well done.

I'm craving something sweet, my son bought chocolate peanuts last night on his way home from work. They're staring at me unopened on the table. So tempting 😂
