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.

Good morning to the Westies... good afternoon to all the others. 🙂

Hey @Faith-and-Hope like your new profile pic. Waterlilies are lovely.

I got an early Mothers Day pressie yesterday. We returned to the antiquery we went to a couple of weeks go to pick up a few of things that needed a trailer. While we were there, I wandered out the back to their "rust and dust" section. Spotted a wooden sewing machine cover, absolutely thick with dust. Inside, also thick with dust was a hand crank sewing machine, but it had some really lovely gold decals peeking out of the grot. Asked one of the staff how much, $30. Sounded like a "nothing to lose" price. Bought it, on the way home dropped in on some friends who are sewing machine enthusiasts. Turned out it's an old 1910-ish German made machine, and a brand that had a high reputation. We got some basic cleaning instructions from our friends. Hubby loves to tinker with vintage pieces and get them back into working order, with the result that by dinnertime it was much cleaner and turning over smoothly... Looks like I'll be putting it to the test on some fabric sometime soon. 🙂

Ta, but coffee for me at this time of day will make my already elusive nightime sleep run away from home altogether. 😛 Something hot and fruity sounds nice though. I put a bit of excess tangy fruit jelly into a cup of hot water the other day… that was really nice. An experiment I'll be repeating!

Can't resist the wind and smoke machines, the hair, make up and frocks (and that's just the men...)

We should have our hot chocolateer Eurovision party ...
