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 ?

Interests… I've mentioned gardening, I think I've mentioned pottery but that's on hold at the moment. I keep the creative juices flowing with a few crafty projects. Presently keen on Boro. (Japanese style mending/patching.) I also play viola and violin, and sing, but a bit sporadically. And I enjoy reading but I'm a bit lax with that at the moment too.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Appleblossom I had a few bits and pieces in Northcote Pottery's little gallery shop at one time, so I've visited it for dropping off stock and picking up supplies. They've got a good setup there, but management has changed around a bit since I was involved. What kind of pieces did you make- wheel, hand formed, sculptural, functional...??? I have a preference for functional but like to put an artistic twist on it, and I like hand forming techniques. Mostly because I don't like constant background noises, so the wheel puts me on edge.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

hello there everyone @Faith-and-Hope @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Smc @Former-Member I see the Beverage cart was again making its rounds in here. Not sure who is still in the vicinity but a shout out of hello to anyone who might be. It's fun seeing the interests. Pottery, why does it always remind me of that scene in ghosts. I'm not even a movie head. Obviously for some reason that struck me somewhere. Kind of scary it sits there without me knowing but at least it's harmless.

Speaking of movies, I watched Mulholland Drive... now there's one to go "hmmmm" about on the first viewing. I rarely watch movies twice, I mean rarely as in practically never.. but I had to watch that 3 times to get what was going on. I think I have it sorted, at least to a point where all the pieces fit but who knows, if my founding premis is wrong... I could be way off base with David Lynch had in mind.

There's still one major question in my mind that I don't think is made clear... well I can't find a cue for it anyhow. (not going to put any spoilers in although some will probably think the whole movie is spoilt anyhow.

Definitely not a film for everyone... has anyone seen it and if so, what did you think?
