I don’t remember much as it was so long ago. I’m trying to learn a little more Italian, they say that learning a language (or a musical instrument) helps to keep the brain sharp. Good luck with the studies. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purdey16 Posted February 19 #55485 Share Posted February 19 Me too jumping between chats to read to make me go to sleep but it’s not working tonight 🥱 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiana123 Posted February 19 #55486 Share Posted February 19 I've slept for an hour and a half. Got up and tipped a whole glass of water over the floor Unfortunately I can't mop it up properly. I did my best and have now covered the area with a bath sheet and OH will deal in the morning. grrrr. I have someone coming at 10 am so wanted to be up and ready reasonably early, but not this early Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey16 Posted February 19 #55487 Share Posted February 19 I came to bed at 9 to do some holiday research and got a bit carried away and got myself excited about things , nearly dropped of a few times but that’s only a minute because my iPad was still lite up , I’m watching the clock and saying go to sleep your be up in a few hours, oh well I have nothing to get up for so can have a lay in, hope you get to sleep soon . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiana123 Posted February 19 #55488 Share Posted February 19 Its surprising how many people are up in the middle of the night. We usually feel we are the only one, or one of very few. I think a cup of tea and a couple of Ryvita are a good idea, although I would really like a sausage sandwich!😏😀 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Eglesbrech Posted February 19 #55489 Share Posted February 19 Tonight has been particularly bad for sleep. I usually have one really wakeful night then sleep properly for the next 2 or 3 days. Rather than toss and turn I tend to get up and catch on on reading or even cook. I often make a loaf or pot of soup in the middle of the night. I hope I don’t get a reply and that @indiana123 and @Purdey16 are now in the land of nod. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted February 19 #55490 Share Posted February 19 I have had a bad night too, obviously in good company. After looking on here two hours ago, then reading my current book, an Ann Cleeves Vera, now dare not go back to sleep as I too have an appointment this morning; kind neighbours taking me to the local hosp. for more blood tests (to see if the anticoags. are not affecting things, I believe). So a mug of tea and another read, email kids at 6 and get up around 7. It is all really good fun, isn't it. Being a bit pedantic - I think it is memento mori, not momento? I did Latin to O level, but it is not a language you can practise on later of course, unlike French and German etc. Hope we night owls make up for lack of sleep tonight, or at least soon! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not pedantic at all, you are absolutely correct. Didn’t notice I had misspelled it (I do that a lot). Hope all goes well at the hospital. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian1 Posted February 19 #55492 Share Posted February 19 Morning all,we're taking our 3 year old grandaughter to the new Barking riverside station this morning.From there the Thames Clipper to the O2,1 hr softplay in the O2 and a return cable car across the Thames to the Excel.Returning on the Thames Clipper.A new experience for us also and being linked to TFL we get 50% with our freedom passes.The grandaughter is free.I remember Barking riverside when I used to play there when I was a kid.It was wasteland dotted with air raid shelters,abandoned gun emplacements and a derelict power station where we used to climb up the coal conveyor belts.Not very H&S now,lol.Great fun on the beaches of the Thames. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that we in North Staffordshire won’t have to wait much longer for such traffic infrastructure to reach us. After all, we are all allegedly being levelled up. 🚌 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purdey16 Posted February 19 #55495 Share Posted February 19 Lovely peaceful view Graham, it’s dry here but grey sky but I think we will go to the beach this morning for a walk as there’s no wind. brian that sounds a nice day out with the cable car and the Thames Clipper, but soft play 🙅♀️ don’t get stuck in the tubes 😂 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted February 19 #55496 Share Posted February 19 Morning 9.c and sunny here 🙂 I think we have found out the reason these boards are quiet in the day time . Most of you are on the night shift contemplating things like.. Should I start baking or make a sausage sandwich or better still book an holiday ?🤔 You think of the strangest things in the we small hours like ... "If you could sleep with anyone living or anyone dead, who would it be?" ...... I decided "Definitely somebody living" 🙃 Our daughter asked me if I could rock our baby grand daughter to sleep but I failed ,maybe she isn't keen on Status Quo 😉 To all of you who are awake ,have a nice day and hope others do once they wake up. Take care .🙂 4 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Eddie99 Posted February 19 #55499 Share Posted February 19 It’s drizzly here, after a promising start. A man is here doing something to the water softener, and that’s as exciting as things get today 🙂 Brian’s day sounds good. Hope the little one enjoys herself 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorkshirephil Posted February 19 #55500 Share Posted February 19 Sorry to hear people are not sleeping too well, never seems to be a problem for me, instead of counting sheep I count my money, doe's turn into a nightmare sometimes when I think I have spent some. We did our last big shop this morning as we have just over a week left, the weather is still stunning, I am not sure how the locals see it as we have had no rain apart from a shower one night which is probably not beneficial to a hot dry country. The forecast is for more of the same. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
