Night Owls: Part Two-whit, Two-woo

No one else here tonight..... maybe too early. I went to bed quite late but don’t think I’ve slept. As usual, no idea why but whatever it is made worse by the knowledge of having to be up reasonably early for a Zoom call. Will have a little GN read to see if that helps. Night all.

A lot of sad memories on that thread I started. My memory was only of loneliness, but a lot of answers were memories of deaths and funerals. So sad when music can affect emotions that were in the back of your mind. Someone should start the opposite...songs which bring back happy memories

Oh, that will be why I didn't see it polomint! I don't really want to dwell on bad memories and sad songs I suppose.
I've always liked Eleanor Rigby.
I like the Beatles 'story songs' like that and Lady Madonna and She's Leaving Home. Interesting that their finest lyrics are about women.

I did start a new thread asking what song brought back sad memories

Ovaltine, Horlicks those names take me back. I loved Horlicks. Did the Ovaltine work for you Fanny?
Polomint, a Baileys at bedtime and chocolate- that sounds ?? but a recipe for heartburn for me. I might try a small Baileys Chocolate Luxe next time though now you’ve mentioned the combination.
Powder and Patch is another Georgette Heyer book. It’s about self improvement ?so I could mention it on a new post I’ve just noticed.

Sorry lollin, I mistakenly thought that you were new.
I'm losing the plot...

Hello nanna8 yes, we still have Horlicks, I think that my Nan is a fan, I think that I had it the last time I stayed with her. You've just reminded me that I ought to phone her today!
Nanna8 you are in Australia aren't you? I recall seeing a photo of parakeets in your garden, I apologise if I've got you mixed up.
I've just sent an email to GNHQ regarding all the hoo ha yesterday.

Haven’t had ovaltine for about forty years, brought back memories. Do they still have Horlicks? I remember that, my mum used to make it.

Polomint, with your Bailey's and chocolate I think that you have a kindred spirit with nadateturbe. She also has a sweet tooth, and from what I can make out, may have a dedicated chocolate drawer.
Did you start your thread yesterday? I kept an eye out for it. I'm trying to think of a good thread to start. It's all doom and gloom here at the moment, as I'm sure that lemsip will agree!
Time for a slurp, I'm going old skool this morning - chocolate ovaltine

I'm going to have to try toplug my devuse in just noticed battery very lo

Hello lollin!
Whereabouts are you? I'm in Derby, it's chucking out down here. We are forecast snow, but I can't see it happening. Are you new? Sorry - I think that I read that you were, I do try to remember. I've only been here since September.
Molly, what's Powder & Patch?
Right, I'm putting on the kettle...

Hello

Hello Owls ?
Back in a mo

I ended up managing to get a reasonable position or so I thought . Recently woken by fresh pain in wrist where i had fallen asleep in bad position.

snap, I've just drunk a cup of that builders tea with a few biscuits dunked in it, went down a treat. bed at midnight but awake since 2.30am.

It’s an on-off night and I’m about to try an amazing sleep inducing cup of builders tea. No idea why it works in the middle of the night.
The rain has started lashing against the windows again. It doesn’t help. Hope it stays quiet here, although company is always welcome.

Hopefully a quiet thread tonight meaning night owls all getting a good night's sleep. I can hear rain, as forecast, which on a positive note sounds nice in the quiet.

Well I went to bed at 10.45 and just tossed and turned so I'm now back up, sitting in chair, reading gransnet threads and having a bailleys followed by a chocolate bar. If I wait half hour and go back to bed I hope to sleep and visit the land of nod

Hope you get a good night’s sleep Bossoming and to all other Night Owls. I’m just about to listen to Powder and Patch and hopefully doze off .

I am really hoping to get a good night’s sleep tonight as I have an annual review meeting with my financial advisor tomorrow. I’ve had a cup of cocoa, my unruly digestive system has been behaving itself so far today. Just hope the ghastly ‘itchy leg’ doesn’t put in an appearance!

So for now I’ll say Goodnight Grans and I hope not to see you again tonight!

Thank you last or painkillers taken as managed to drop off, typing with weong hand for me v slow. Here's to a quieter night chat for night owls tonight

We seem to keep ourselves awake at night with the worries of the world running through our minds. Do our husbands sleep through the night with little effort?

Good Morning Night Owls,
Welcome polomint! You will find this thread a very gentle and supportive one. But definitely not dull with Fanny at the helm!

Lollin I hope you have been able to grab a few hours of sleep before you need to get going this morning.

I have been awake from 3 this morning, but didn’t post messages as my hands were too cold outside the covers and lying flat on my back, the iPad seemed too heavy! ?

How interesting FannyCornforth I must look back.
I have a photo of myself sonewhere with a barn owl on my arm. It was very heavy.

Welcome Lollin.
Going to try and nod off now.

Hello nadateturbe and welcome polomint and lollin
Oh I love black forest gateaux! I had one for my birthday a couple of weeks ago.
I do hope that the barking dog wasn't mine! I have to keep getting her in as she barks at the foxes in the middle of the night.
I don't know if you joined us too late to read about this, nadateturbe but all during my childhood and early adulthood, my family and I had tame tawny owls. I wrote at length about it on the first Night Owls thread, but it didn't seem to garner much interest
