Well I think there are going to be some bleary eyed fencers today . It looks as though Mar may have slept though rather than being on the night shift . I'm getting ready to head to the Drs and pick up a few things in town .
Have a good day all . See you later .

I've had 2 good nights sleep, think the shoulder is settling down a bit. Just as long as I don't move it.
Polly I am very fond of chickens yesss... chicken chasseur... chicken kiev... chicken supper from the chippy.. I just find them a tad wee after the ele - erm after what I've got used to.:silenced:

Slept OK last night but only because DH installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom many years ago! Last few days it's been on a higher speed though. Busy day today - hospital appointment and then straight to get my car MOT'd. DH out with a friend today so I'll have to browse the local furnishing fabric outlet and have a cheeky cuppa and cake while it's being done

I slept very well, not boasting just relieved. We've had an anxious time whilst DS28 has been in hospital in his adopted country. Results of final test came yesterday and he was allowed home. Not all clear but SO much better than may have been. I slept knowing my baby was ok.
I have spent longer than I should catching up with the thread after being busy with DGC. I am so pleased I 'read back'. I am humbled by what some of our posters have faced and over come. Thank you for sharing your stories. I for one choose to take strength from them. Empty x

Camelot my grandad and my great-uncle on mum's side both had blue budgies, both called Joey...every single one was called Joey Grandma didn't replace last Joey after grandad died...probably because she had to clean up when it had been flying around!

My great granny's budgies were always blue and called Joey :rotfl: The things have left me with a lifelong bird phobia. Something flying around your head in a very enclosed space is not a good feeling when you're only 4 and very small.

fuddle I have recently started getting into crystals. A piece of yellow citrine by the bed to help promote sleep, black obsidian around my neck to ward off negativity, snowflake obsidian because it's pretty, rose quartz for healing. When OH was having his mastectomy the Macmillan nurse gave him a Hug in a Bag. It is a canvas bag stuffed with goodies for people undergoing treatment for breast cancer. Amongst the contents were a piece of rose quartz and smoky quartz to aid healing. The Crystal culture spreads far and wide.

Be careful what crystals you keep on your bedside table or in your bedroom. Some can give you interesting dreams. My amethyst pyramid doesn't seem to do any harm but the little opalite elephant (not edible - sorry to our resident elephant eater) makes my dreams very lively indeed.

Nighty night everyone,sweet dreams xx

You tick the little orange and pink speech bubbles on two of the posts that you wish to quote as you pass by them and then you press quote on the third so that it quotes all three which is the maximum number available in one post. Oh and welcome to the madhouse.

I arrived home from running and a supermarket trip boiling hot and stroppy yesterday to be told by the HT (who hadn't moved off his butt and had both fans on in his bedroom) that he was fine. We now have one fan each again. To be that hot with only big dark clouds and no sunshine is very unfair. It's drizzling here again this morning. I cut the grass yesterday afternoon too but the growth was very uneven. Some patches didn't need cutting at all but it looks better for it. The front is just a little patch of scorched grass and doesn't need anything doing to it at all.

I hope that all of you non-sleepers have a better night tonight. I was awake until 12:30am or thereabout but 6 hours seems to be enough for me. The starving child is usually awake about 7am and I get up too - it's the best and coolest part of the day just now. Fat class this morning so I'd better go and get ready. I'm 1 lb away from being the lightest I've been in the last 18 years (I'm still heavy, I said lightest, not light :rotfl: ). The last time I weighed what I do now was when I was getting to know the late MrC and I was trying to impress him

Take care all of you

Welcome Onebrokelady

I find it interesting reading about your spiritual beliefs. I don't have any. I believe we have to try to get through life with the least pain possible and that's it.
As a child I went to church, think that was either my parents sending me or the thought of the summer outing and a Christmas party, big events in those days, but when my daughter died and the Vicar said it was God's will, I decided it wasn't for me.
Don't get me wrong, if it gives comfort, hope,understanding I'm happy for you.

Funny how so many people seem to know what God wants. And think fit to tell us us all..

Was dreading being unable to sleep because of the heat having been awake from 12.30 to sometime round about 4 the night before but I must have been tired enough to (mostly) sleep quite well. I did see the clock a few times but it wasn't one of those nights where you see all the patterns in the numbers. Eg 12.34, 1.11, 1.23, 3.21 etc. 2.52 looks quite pretty on a digital clock, like a Greek key pattern, as does 5.25 and there have been nights when I've seen both those particular ones

Well that was the night from hell, it was too hot to sleep and we had no water, there was a burst and the water co. switched off all the water to the village, apparently the next village to us had non either.

Our friends brought down 2 x 5 gallon tanks of water for us, which was very kind of them. I was up in the night, tried the tap and water came out, this morning at 7.50am a phone call from the water co. to say the situation was taking longer to resolve so they were delivering water to every house in the village. So thats what a white van was doing in the close at heaven knows what hour!!

The water is still on, so we had a quick shower.....its another blistering day!!
