Anyone else awake? ?

I’m awake having slept from 1.30-5.30. It’s unusual for me to sleep for 4 hour stretch. Just having a cup of decaffinated coffee and will go back to bed to read and hopefully get back to sleep.

Thank you nadateturbe

Sending you love grandMattie ?
Wishing everyone a calm and peaceful day ahead

Good morning grandMattie. I'm just heading back to bed but I just thought I'd say say hello. How lovely to be wide awake so and starting your day. I love early morning, its so peaceful. The moon is misty here in NI. Beèn up an hour in our caravan reading a silly novel about a girl growing lavender in France, easy reading in middle of the night. I too don't have pets for the same reason unfortunately.
Anyway have a good day ?.
Hope day is better for you FannyC

I've taken the dog out so now I'll jump in the shower and start the day. Have a lovely Tuesday both of you - signing off for now.

All gone to sleep? I’m up for the day!

No, it’s supposed to be 13 at the moment, but feels warmer. Got the laundry on ATM, I’ll be able hang it out soon…

Hi grandmattie! I noticed it was very bright last night. The clear sky meant it was a bit chilly too. I've not had the heating on yet - but won't be long.

May I join in?
Isn’t the moon bright this morning?
No pets, not even a goldfish. DH doesn’t like animals much.

I just got your last 3 replies at once (thought you'd gone to sleep). I can't remember ever not having pets. I was a noisy, awkward, sleepless baby (allegedly) so had a budgie cage suspended low over my cot - and lived to tell the tale!

Frise, not fries!
I remember a friend of mine telling me that he was growing different types of lettuce in his window sill, one of which was bichon frise! I think that he meant frisée

I’ve got a bichon fries / Tibetan spaniel cross, and the cat is a Maine Coon
The dog definitely thinks that she’s the boss, but the cat is that laid back, she just lets the dog get on with it.
I can’t imagine not having pets.

She must be a feisty cat to be the boss with a JRT!

A little JRT with a big personality. Still, the cat's a year older and she's the boss.

My cat is stomping up and down on me in bed (doing the kneading thing) and making it difficult to type…
What type of dog do you have?

Well, I've fed the cat (yet again) made more tea and I'm having biscuits with this one. Half watching 'undercover boss' but can't take much interest.

I usually put the washing machine on, and then I feel like I’m doing something productive without actually doing much!
Or I tweak my online shop.
Or faff about on here!

I do still feel that I should be somehow 'making myself useful' but I'm at a loss about exactly how - at this unearthly hour. There's plenty of housework to do but it's not a favourite thing.

(sometimes it just freezes - then I post twice)

Thank you Hetty
I see that you’re having trouble posting, it’s not just you! I could not post at all for ages

Sorry to hear that you had a bad day. Hoping things are better soon.

What I love about this time of night Hetty, is that there is no pressure to feel that you should do anything. You can just ‘be’.

Sorry to hear that you had a bad day. Hoping things are better for you soon.

I wonder what the neighbours think of me, out in my dressing gown and garden clogs? I can't just let her out to bark until about 7.30

I've watched some catch-up tv, had tea and toast, and emptied the dishwasher. There's not much else to do at this time of day - except more tea and knitting!
