Night Owls: Part Two-whit, Two-woo

Ooh I missed all the excitement!! Deleted posts and all that...
I was ASLEEP! sorry to boast
I once, as a child, slept through a midnight feast. It was at camp in a bell tent and we, 8 at least, had prepared heaps of sugary food.
I woke to find my sleeping bag covered with crumbs and condensed milk and wailed "why did nobody wake me!" "We sat on you but you wouldn't wake up".

This is a very nice thread. Thankyou FannyC

Ok, fair enough,but it was unfair to say Rufus lacked manners. He only started a thread. Also no one owns a thread.
Good luck it's a nice concept and alot of posters will find it helpful.

You're missing the main point Rafichagran.
Rufus is joking.
He doesn't give a hoot (yes!) that his thread was deleted, in fact he asked me to get it deleted.
He's not an insomniac, he's Australian.

Also, I take the time and effort to reply to everyone as much as I can and take a genuine interest.
To be honest, to my mind it is 'my' thread. If that makes me childish and pathetic, so be it.
I'm sure that there are lots of thread starters on here who are a little bit possessive of their creations.

The last thread was a very 'nice' thread, just like you say you'd expect it to be. And this one will be too.
So stop causing problems where there is none please.

Thank you to everyone who understood.

Fanny, I think your Night Owls thread is a great idea and know many GNs find it really helpful to chat to others in the small hours.
Well done ⭐️

We "heart" Fanny! Xxx

unfortunatly rufus lacks manners and there is always one that will support that lack.
Fanny has so much support on this thread. She also started this one after the other one reached the 1000 mark.
Come on and support FannyCornforth .

Yes, here it is, the proper one!
Fanny C.
Beg your pardon, but there was nothing improper about the other one!
As I've explained elsewhere, when I signed in there was nobody on duty; the notice advised me to start a new thread because the "old" one had reached the 1,000 limit.
So I did, but what thanks did I get?
Today's lunch menu consisted of soup, again, for starters;

Sweet potato;
Pumpkin;
Caramelised Onion;
Roasted Garlic Croutons.
Delicious; sorry there was none left for your midnight feast, but rest assured I was thinking of you with every sup! [tchburp]

Four sheds! Wow, we had two for a while. I'd love a shed of my own, to paraphrase Virginia Woolf.
I need to sort out my books, I've got a ridiculously amount and I just don't have the space for them I decided that I was going to get rid via Music Magpie, but I had trouble with the app, so the best layed plans and all that.
I've just shared some cheese straws with the dog. I'd be hard pushed to say who enjoyed them most.
Expecting snow here today. Fingers crossed!

3.45am - my husband and I are up sorting out our collection of thousands of books... whether we'll be able to find anyone to take the ones we don't want is another question, but fortunately we have 4 sheds in the garden!

The midnight feast is a good idea. Toast and Marmite should hit the spot nicely.

Hi FannyC thanks for being there!
I have tried going back to sleep and yes I heard the bear meat lady in the yukon!
My feast was meusli. Not very exciting but filled a gap.
My phone keeps ringing with an unknown number. Spooky.

Are you a potter / ceramicist Grammaretto?
I've read a bit of the Lockdown Gang (Lobsters) thread, but it's quite hard as a newbie to keep up

Hello, I'm here Grammaretto I've just put on the radio. Some woman talking about eating bear meat on Radio 4
I might change to LBC but that's 24/7 misery.
What was your midnight feast?

Hi night owls. I found the new thread and am wide awake.
I have had a midnight feast and read my way through the latest threads. what now?
The radio is just awful news.
I almost convinced myself I had the covid as I was coughing but have no other symptoms.
Oh dear. Anyone else awake for a chat?
If not I could try getting back to sleep.

Good morning! Awake for an hour wasting time on fb. Should have read my book! (Jane and Prudence by Barbara Pym)
My husband hogs the duvet too Mollygo and his legs stretch out diagonally! Thankfully we don't sleep together often.

Hello anyone who’s awake. I slept really well till 3.00 and then the bedclothes disappeared! By the time I’d rescued my share from DH’s relentless grip I was thoroughly awake. Perhaps my cup of tea will be soporific.
Hopefully everyone is sleeping.

I'm afraid that you didn't ' get there first' , as I started this hours ago
In your dreams?
I looked but I could not see!
However, can you exert your authority and have "my" thread removed? It's got my name attached so it should be easy!

Otherwise I'll be developing a split personality and you wouldn't want to be woken in the middle of the night by the sounds of maniacal laughter!
Sweet Dreams.

Oh Rufus! I've just replied to this on the other thread
So I'll summarise:
1. The soup sounds absolutely delicious
2. I'm afraid that you didn't ' get there first' , as I started this hours ago

Yes, I have started the official Night Owls thread, part Two-whit Two-woo

Fanny Sorry to have given you the "bums-rush", as they say here, by waking you up, but now that you are I have to bow to your superior rank!
But I did get in first!
Now I'll never get the chance to feel "chuffed", as my thread didn't even reach 10, let alone 1,000.
No soup for you, I'm afraid. You don't know what you're missing!
OoRoo

Oh grannyactivist that does sound worrying.
I hope that you feel much better soon.

I keep coughing myself awake, but I’ve had a cup of tea now and hopefully I’ll get in a few ?s before I wake up again.

Hello Everyone!
Yes, here it is, the proper one!
Back in a mo!

Me too - I’ll check in later - much later! X
