Night Owls of Gransnet

Fine except I can’t sleep and it’s an hour later than you. I see you are listening to the radio

Hi mokryna are you okay?

It always makes me tearful - and I don't even really know why.
I think I'd like it at my funeral.

Hi

Gracie is currently doing the occasional bark at passing foxes, real and imagined, and even at our own cat
She's hyper vigilant.

“Sailing By” the music before the shipping forecast, always reduces me to tears - it takes me back to sleepless nights when DH was in hospital . Total flashback every time!

Hattie has just come upstairs to join me! I’ll get a hard look if I disturb her.

I'm currently listening to LBC.
They are talking about London going into tier 3. I can't believe it wasn't already in tier 3!
My school is shut to children this week.
I've been thinking a lot about schools.
They've done a very good job of keeping a lid on safety in schools ie keeping it out of press, other than the propaganda in September (photos of half empty classrooms; teachers wearing PPE etc)
I think that now that it's coming out in the open, it's going to be difficult to put the lid back on. It's going to be interesting in January.

Hello Maw! Of course.
I love the shipping forecast - I'm usually awake for the 5.20 one.
It's always when you need to get up early that you can't sleep.
It's one of the best things about not working at the moment - I'm not counting the minutes until I have to get up, while simultaneously going over what I should have done better the day before and what I've got to worry about for the coming day.

Hi, may I join you?
Read till 12.30 when I thought I was nodding off then snap!! Eyes wide open!
So I listened to Barack Obama, then the Shipping forecast, drew the line at the National Anthem and have now come downstairs for a piece of toast and honey!
I don’t do insomnia and have no idea why this is, nothing particular on my mind....just wide awake.
I feel totally”wired” but dead tired, only not in a good way.
Can’t have a lie in in the morning as cleaner due at 9 -and usually early. Ho hum.

Hello Everyone
Hope that everyone is sleeping soundly! If not, please come and keep me company
Marilla I've had two tramadol not one (I won't tell if you won't!)
DH seems to be asleep, thank goodness. He has been coughing so badly.
Wine does make you sleep at first, I find - and then 'ping' - you'll be wide awake at 2.30

Good night Mollygo ?

Hope you have a good night Marilla. Nana3 wine usually makes me sleepy at inconvenient times. I’ve never tried it before bed. Early start for work tomorrow so I’m hoping for a good night. Sleep well all.

Marilla hope you have a good night .

Hello Everyone!
I’ve done everything to prepare for a good night’s sleep. Even taken an extra spoonful of liquid Oxycodone. (Sh don’t tell). But I’m lying here wide awake and I think it’s going to be a long night!

Oh! What was on Greenfinch ?

I fell asleep in front of the TV so I am not holding out much hope for a good night.

How is everyone tonight? I've had a glass of wine so here's hoping it helps me sleep!!!

Oh Kim - I'm sorry! I didn't mean to upset you, I know how much you love Strictly. I can understand that the celeb element isn't important.
I thought it had finished, that's how much I know!
Might see you later x

Strictly final this coming Saturday. One of my hopefuls just eliminated. So much for my discernment! Don't care if I recognise the 'celebrity'. Don't expect to. If they're good and interesting I research them in due course. Just find it entertaining and uplifting under present difficult circumstances.

Hi Soozikinzi I’d forgotten my Borrowbox account. Thanks for the reminder.

Sardines and beans?
Very healthy - omega 3 oils and loads of protein!
Lunch at 3am definitely appeals to me, I'm always peckish then.

Welcome Sugarpuff, make yourself at home with a hot chocolate and a head full of night time nonsense.
George'sgran don't feel bad about having a good old moan here, that's what we're here for. Hope you are okay
Who won strictly then? I've never watched it properly. I agree about the lack of real celebs, but I'm amazed that they got anyone to do it this year.
Rufus I'm stupidly surprised that you have Aldi. You can keep your 30 degrees. I loathe hot weather.
The ice cream and Hatlifter sound nice though!
DH had a bad night last night - lots of coughing. I've just made him a cup of tea and painkillers, hope he will sleep now.
Nothing on today. Got to finish my Ocado order and I really must do my Christmas cards.
I might catch up with my best friend from work later - our school is shut to children this week.
Hope that everyone has an okay day

your lunch doesn't do a thing for me but, boy, the thought of being on a sun lounger sure does
Kim19 Sorry about that! I guess my lunch menus are never going to appeal at 3am!
However, a man must eat so I'll press on; Cooler weather tomorrow so how does sardines on toast with baked beans on the side grab you?
OoRoo

'morning all! Loads of activity last night!
I'll go back and have a proper read.
Back in a mo
