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.

Maybe iced chocolate @Tiggeroo ? Some of us are chocaholics ..... 👋

Ice tea sounds nice too tho.

I wasn't really noticing a jet lag @Former-Member before daylight saving. I think the three hour time difference is a wee bit much ..... especially switching every 2 - 3 weeks at the mo ..... 😳:face_with_rolling_eyes:

Been having blueberry smoothies @Faith-and-Hope, use full cream milk as all milk is low GI.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

I agree with several of you people here, in that its too hot for a hot chocolate today. Its only around 30C here, but with a hot wind. Definitely hotter than I like it.

Well its now a little after 4pm where I am. I see from discussions here earlier that there are several WA residents here. @PeppiPatty, my husband was originially from Freo, and his Dad born in Margaret River. I agree @Adge, that its a beautiful area all around there. I really love my visits to the West, where my husbands family still live. It must be so difficult for you @Faith-and-Hope switching so often between Eastern and Western States. Especially during daylight savings, which means there is a 3 hour difference rather than what should only be 2 hours. Why dont you guys get daylight savings anyway? Acutally I wish we didnt have it either, as I'd prefer not to have it.

Hello also to @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Tiggeroo. Tiggeroo, we havent met before. Lovely to do so now.

So ... since its so hot right now, I'm all for an iced chocolate. Anyone care to join me? I will see if I can tempt you with a picture. Here we go. Something for the chocoholics amongst us.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Sure thing @Faith-and-Hope, happy to do so. Although I am a tea drinker, for some reason I have never enjoyed iced tea. I dont know why that is. Sorry @Tiggeroo. Maybe I will try it again though, just in case my tastes have changed? Especially since you've gone to the trouble to amek a big batch of it. I always thing it looks pretty in those glass serving things. Lets both give @Faith-and-Hope a bit of relaxation time, so she can sit back and enjoy a well earned break, shall we? She is always doing so much for us and others.
