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.

☕️

The Bureau of Meteorology has reported that this morning's temperatures were the coldest so far this year. They must have geniuses working there. Welcome to winter.

@soul @Determined It's funny how the big thing everyone talks about is missing their mum, but dads don't get as much of a mention. Maybe it's easier to be sentimental about mums, especially on social media. One thing I get a bit stuck about is phone calls to Dad. He's out of his room more often than Mum, sitting in the lounge watching TV or playing cards or going to one of the music performances the home organises. If he's in his room, it's often because he's having a nap. On top of that, I guess I'm a bit concerned that without being able to see me while he's talking, his memory might be even dodgier than it usually is. And it's just not the same as being there for me either. Gotta work that one out- don't want to be regretting it when it's too late.

Nice and sunny here today (but the night was chilly), so I've been outside pulling weeds instead of cruising the net or housework. Also decided that now is the time to defrost the fridge, while it's nearly empty after my trip away.

Seems winter is being felt by many. I always love a cuppa but gosh they are extra tasty and comforting when it's so chilly outside. Here we are, feel free to join me if you fancy 🙂

Some extra sunshine coming your way @Shaz51

Pretty dull and wintery here today, I got a new pair of ugg boots for Mother's Day, so nice to go home to and pop them on. Warm toes will help me get through winter 🙂
