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 @Faith-and-Hope,
Well done on your anniversary.
It’s very wet where I live and my mood’s a bit damp too.
Trying to do my duties without getting grouchy.
Have a nice day.😊

Thanks @Determined @Catcakes ..... hope the day picks up for both of you as well.

It's cool here at the moment, but sunny. Headed for a higher temperature than the last couple of days, but under 30deg, so I'm okay ..... lol ...... not a mush-puddle today ..... cool beeeze is taking care of that.

Very muggy here @Faith-and-Hope but it has turned out to be a nice day.

I had planned on taking the boat out early this morning but woke to rain around 3am, checked the weather forecast and it was predicting storms. Blue sky and light breeze here at the moment. I could have gone. Was looking forward to seeing the sun rise ovrr the water.

If the weather holds out we are plannig another family day tomorrow. Have last weeks engine troubles sorted so good to go. Hoping the boys can actualy catch a decent fish this time.

Sounds lovely @Determined, and you all had a good day last time ..... so here's hoping.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Determined, there's a lot of bad weather coming through, major storms over much of SE Aus. You might be waiting until another weekend to take the boat out... we don't want to discover your secret identity by seeing you on the news for all the wrong reasons.

Our town is getting ready for severe storms. Probably not floods, but we're on alert in case it turns out worse than expected. There's certainly other places in our general region that are on floodwatch. Hubby and I spent yesterday and today making sure that our gutters, water tank inlets/outlets and drains were shipshape (or at least good enough), plus we've sandbagged the back door where water runoff from the driveway sometimes gets in. Now we wait...
