anyone else still awake?

Hello…Hello? anyone else awake out there at 4.00am ish???

I'm well chufed with the superglueing [still in one piece ; good job I did use gloves [and wear glasses] as I could easily have been glued [literally] to the pooter. Having bought a pack of wilko's single use superglues, I'm now desperate to use it again. May have to break something first [good at that]. I've found that listening to music gets me to sleep; it has to be certain music, though. Used to be Alt J but London Grammar does the trick now. Sigur Ros sends me into a stupor as well, but that's because find it boring. Now have to find some 'wake up' music.

I know about the wee small hours!

Granny23 G'morning You win the gong for being the longest awake last night! . A very dubious prize. I get totally absorbed in Scrabble, which is very unhelpful towards switching the brain off mode needed to fall into the Land of Nod. It seems Tegan does her best DIY work in the wee small hours (for me the ''wee" in that expression has different connotations! and is often the cause of waking up).
Here's hopefully to a night\early morning coming up where we all have a long, undisturbed night's sleep...

I seem to have been last to bed and now first up and talking to myself on here

Well I have had a long (indoor) walk and done a bit of tidying up so ready to try bed now. I have forgotten to bring my pyjamas through here so wondering if I can find them and put them on without waking DH - off to bedroom 'a pas de loup'

...now superglueing a money box together that's been broken for years. Bought some single use superglue from Wilko's today [along with lots of other things; Wilko's being the best shop on the planet when you're in 'getting organised' mode]. Now understand how that lady got superglue mixed up with eye drops; very similar tube. Glad I decided to wear rubber gloves at the last minute .

DH has tootled off to bed, better go. Good night

That programme is breaking my heart; so many personal stories .

Yes I am still up. Got into a discussion on FB about friend's great uncle who died at the battle of the Somme, was mentioned on Jeremy Paxman documentary tonight.

no link; it's diary of a teenager by agneta mills

Yep; can't break the habit I've got since retiring of watching tv till late and then sleeping till 11.30/12.00. Mind you, am currently revisiting my past on the internet, which is freaking me out totally. Have found that someone has written a book about the time she spent in Cornwall at the same time that I was there [and with the same people]. Blimey; I might be in it . Hope not; I was a right idiot in those days [nothing changes]. Mind you, I doubt it; I was always one of those people that disappeared into the background and was so shy I doubt if I ever spoke to anyone ...

Another night with little sleep coming up. Anyone else out there???

hope it doesnt move down south tegan...its pouring with rain here again!!!

Snowing here....

Bitterly cold this morning, but we have to go out so it won't affect our plans. The "picnic" is all packed and ready to go. I expect we will be eating it in the car - parked somewhere with the engine running and the heated seats turned on

After lunch we are going to see an old friend who lost his wife suddenly on Boxing Day. We haven't been able to speak to him since the funeral so this is likely to be a rather poignant meeting.

NanKate No picnic-ing today - but maybe will do when/if the sun ever shines again

Hello Goose, you say you are nostalgic for a picnic. I too love picnics but you can still do them on a lesser scale than the olden days when it included sitting on the ground on a pretty table cloth. Nowadays mine comprise an apple (all chopped up and ready to eat), a sarnie of my choosing, a small piece of cake or biscuit and that's it.

So many places offer take away tea or coffee you don't even need to take a flask with you. If you live near a Waitrose if you get one of their My Waitrose cards you can get a FREE coffee every day.

Places to eat this said picnic range from a park bench, in the car, on the bus, or even in your own garden. Enjoy.

Here I am again, jumpy as can be

Sleep well ladies – goodnight, sweet dreams.

Thanks for your sympathy re Jumping Legs and flailing arms. All quiet on that front now so off to bed. Hope I will not be up again as it is a childminding day tomorrow - or should that be today??

Same here Goose; I've got to be up earlyto take my mutant foot to the doctors [bit of a shock, these days, geting up early] ps inner tube joke bloomin' good ...

I'm going to have another go at trying to get to sleep - I've got to be up at 7.00m…is it worth going to bed….AAAAARRRRGGGGGHHHH

Right…I feel a licorice allsorts moment coming on
