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.

Hey @Former-Member

You were right I did have my wires crossed. We are swans fans, so game tonight. Don't follow the league as much but did get to a couple of Canterbury Bulldog and Eastern Suburbs games when we lived in Sydney but AFL is more our thing and at the time we had Swans membership and went to games at the SCG.

Trust you are OK.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yes @Former-Member, I thought that may have been the case.

Swannies tonight .... go Swans. @Spookytookims - You should be concentrating on your own team, the Bombers, instead of poking your nose in and going against Darcy and my Swannies. However .... I forgive you for barracking against my Swans tonight. Damn it! Just this once, mind you.

My hubby and I used to have country membership for the Swans a few years ago, but let it lapse as we just cant get to the City enough to warrant maintaining membership. But I have been to quite a few games at the SCG plus several at ANZ Stadium as well.

No question that AFL is a far better spectator sport than NRL. And on the TV you actually miss quite a bit of what is happening around the ground. Because unlike with NRL, with AFL there is matchups and things happening even where the ball isnt. So it much better to be there live than at home watching. Possibly why they get such big crowds at AFL games. NRL crowds are dwindling.

I am okay, yes. Thanks for asking. Hope you are too.

Don't know about your Holly, but our two whippets are Bulldog fans @Former-Member and rather suspect those Birmans of @Spookytookims fancy Geelong or the Tigers (was going to say moggies but suspect I would be in trouble ...)

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Oh @Former-Member, horror of all horrors, Holly is actually a Collingwood fan - black and white! Urgh

So when the Swans are playing, I try to put something red on her. Just to try to disguise her 'true colours' of black and white. @Spookytookims, do your cats follow Geelong or the Tiges, like Darcy suggests?

Rofl @Former-Member and @Former-Member

now let's start off with the important stuff, Darcy... darn right lucky you didn't call my babies moggies!!! O MY GOLLY GEE GOSH it sure was girlie!! 😛 hmmmph.. close shave there my dear gal!

I think my chocky, being the cerebral rule breaker she is, would probably follow the doggies. Just to spit the other two and pffft at their need to conform.

My Blue tigger stripey would definitely follow the cats I think being the right colour and their mascot being like him and my Bipsy would just turn upside down in her bipsy position and watch any tigers game. Because for some reason (despite supposedly cats not being able to see colour), she is fascinated by yellow. Have they updated that theory yet?

Sherry I am very appreciatve of your reluctant magnanimous generosity in allowing my GWS soft spot to show up over your swannies I understand the sting it causes. 🙂

as for some bague mention of those colluuyngrtudwod thingos... thatI'm just choosing to bypass, ignore and detour. Thank you in advance, for your understanding on that too - both of you 😄

forgive typose on dreaded nor traditional keyboard type thingy so probably heaps to decipher.

Spooky 😄
