TheodoraP, sleep is all over the place, partly because of recent Covid.
I’m reading a lot of books rather than acknowledging insomnia. Thank heavens for Kindle.
One unexpected benefit is that if I’m awake at stupid o’clock, I stand a better chance of booking a place in the aqua fit class!

Good morning all!
I’m pleased to see that the thread was of use.

It’s especially nice to see Nightowl herself smile

Kim it’s sad that we won’t be chatting with Rufus here, bless him and his extremely varied lunch menus.
I subscribe to The Oldie magazine on his recommendation, and every time I read it I think of him.

I slept for 12 hours without waking once! My sleep is all over the place.
I have an appointment with my orthopaedic surgeon late this afternoon, so I should get a date for my hip replacement?

See you later

I have work in the morning and hate that I can't sleep but just need to be more active in the day I think. Its a new thing for me not being able to go back to sleep

How come you awake Mollygo

The useful thing about being awake now is my brain is better at Nerdle. I’ll give Wordle a try too. Thanks for the reminder Kim19.

Kim19 Mon 25-Apr-22 03:26:08

Just body clock I guess. Nothing new or problematic. Just finished Wordle. That was enjoyable.

TheodoraP Mon 25-Apr-22 03:21:37

That's brilliant Kim19 how come your awake

Kim19 Mon 25-Apr-22 03:09:00

I sleep fitfully. It's no.problem now that I'm used to it. Retirement accommodates it nicely for me. Currently having a short visit with my best friend. Lovely. We're going out for a nice lunch later. Life is currently rather kind.

Oh looks like everyone has gone to bed, woke up after being asleep for just 2 hrs, my sleep pattern needs serious attention

I’ll probably be back about 1a.m. to see how it’s going. Mind you I have youngest son and family staying over for a few days while they’re having work done on their house. So I’m rather tired. We’ll see…

Ooh I’m intrigued now BigBertha!

BigBertha1 Sun 24-Apr-22 22:17:24

I think I may but have been there in my previous year incarnation.

Hi, good to see you. After I posted I wondered if you were still here.

It was a nice day.

nightowl Sun 24-Apr-22 19:28:03

I’m still here kitty although I don’t post very often now smile I remember meeting you, and Maw and a few others who seem to have drifted away. It was a lovely afternoon.

Oh, and I’m not much of a nightowl these days, more of a dormouse confused

kittylester Sun 24-Apr-22 18:51:12

We had a poster called Nightowl in the very early days. I met her at the first meet up I ever went to.

Thought you might like to know that.

Blossoming Sun 24-Apr-22 18:49:03

Could have done with this last night!

Mollygo Sun 24-Apr-22 18:46:52

See you later-probably about 1 am.

FannyCornforth Sun 24-Apr-22 16:26:51

Hello ?
Back by popular demand (well, two people have asked me to start a new thread)
If you are awake at goodness knows what time; or are Australian (hi Nanna8), this is a thread for chat, companionship and me boring on about ‘kettle cuisine’
See you later x
