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.

Hi @YTT, welcome back!

I know in China crossing a road seemed to mostly involve stepping out and doing a kind of stop-start thing, waiting to see if each lane of traffic was going to give you right of way or not. Sort of like Live Frogger. Glad they were alert to your daughter. That would have been a hair raising moment.

@Former-Member, I do a lot of shopping for Chinese groceries anytime we're near Box Hill. I lived there for a while, about 30 years ago, which was right at that interesting time when the demographics were moving from middle class white Aussie to Asian-Aussie. I'd always enjoyed Chinese food, but got quite an eye opener to a broader picture of both their food and their culture during that time. Which of course has now been extended even further by both my trips to China, and friends among the Chinese people that have moved into our district. And our nearest rural city is starting to catch up with the needs of the Chinese population too. Our fruit and veg shop there now stocks a range of Chinese groceries, veggies and frozen goods. So I can buy bulk spices, specialty noodles, frozen lotus root and White Rabbit lollies without having to make a trip all the way to Melbourne. Yay!

Anyone want a virtual sample of a White Rabbit? They're milk flavoured chewy lollies.

Went to the movies @Shaz51 saw 'Darkest Hour' a film about Winston Churchill. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
