All New Night Owls 🦉🌙 ☕️

GG that's great the meds have done the trick.

I can feel a real chill in my bedroom tonight, we have been given an ice warning weather alert so I might have a slippery dog walk later. I think some may have snow already, I hope it stays away from here. You all have a lovely day, I'm off to try to get some sleep again. It's my own fault as I nodded off watching Vera, I always do that with the 2 hour long programmes 😴

Not much of a compliment to the Vera show, A, but I did the very same. Lovely long sleep ensued which is decidedly unusual for me.

I know and I do enjoy it. I always record the longer programmes, just in case, and then I finish watching it the next morning.

I find Vera very dreary. The programme that gets me off to sleep is The Joy of Painting. Thankfully it’s back on iplayer again. They took it off before Christmas.

‘Morning all.
I find Vera’s voice a bit annoying. Not the accent, but her intonation.
But I love the late Paul Ritter in anything.
I haven’t watched The Joy of Painting for donkeys years - what a great recommendation.

It -2 here.

Morning everyone. 7 hours straight sleep. I must be getting better at this.
Like every other series, as soon as they leave the original books behind ,things go downhill somewhat. Same with ‘Vera’. ,I haven’t watched it since the ‘social distancing ‘ ones.

Have a peaceful day everyone.

Any sign of snow MrsK?

Georgesgran, always wanted to see New York, it must be nice going with all your family, but Christmas did sound very challenging, I wouldn't have coped very well.
Not slept for two nights and so tired. I'm due a good night soon.

Morning all! I’ve been awake since 2.00am, and have given up on going back to sleep. If I did, it would be 11.00 when I woke up and I have things to do. It’s so frustrating lying awake, isn’t it?

Binge watching House of the Dragon. I knew if I watched one episode I ‘d end up binge watching it. It isn’t Game of Thrones but it’s growing on me. Now going to watch a bit of Bob to get to sleep. I’m just becoming totally nocturnal.

I think I’ll get up at 6.00. If I put the tv on in bed I’ll go back to sleep. I can watch it downstairs with a coffee before starting the day.

Watching the tennis text commentary is not very sleep inducing I've found!
Play was suspended due to extreme heat in the middle of the day.

Morning all. Bad night, one of those waking every 90 minute ones. Finally gave up at 5 and just finished watching the second episode of the Miriam Margolyes Oz program.
I know she is a marmite character but I love her.

I’m tired now, but am going to haul my bones downstairs and power through the day in the hope of getting some sleep tonight. I hate insomnia. Luckily I don’t have to go out today.

I went bed at 11pm and woke up again at 1.30 and I've clock watched all night long, it's so annoying. Its -2° here, I haven't got out of bed yet to see if there's any snow, but the grass was crispy at 10pm when the dog was let out. Hope you all have a nice day.

Commiserations, Alioop. I hope your day goes well too.

Still awake, but I don’t stress about it. Battery nearly gone, so won’t witter. X

Morning, another -2°, I had a peek out to check how the deep the snow is now as the police closed the main road that leads to my house last night as it was too dangerous. My friend and I were going to the cinema later, but I don't think we will leave it to another day. Everyone take care if it's bad where you are.

My head is abuzz. Have a return train booked from London to here up north on 1st of Feb and it's just been announced that this is to be a rail strike day. Joy indeed! I'm a pretty good all rounder from my age but my Achilles heel is definitely hassle. This is decidedly hassle for me. Will venture into the big city today and see what my alternatives are by talking to a human being in the railway station. Fingers crossed!

Mornings all
Hope you don't mind if l join you all. I have had trouble sleeping properly since September 2021 when l started sleeping on the sofa to keep the dog coming as he suffers with dementia and other ailments.
My husband is now very poorly, still no diagnosis after 14 months. He was taken to hospital yesterday with a suspected stroke.Ddil took him in the car as ambulance would have been an hour. I don't drive.
Take care everyone and hope some if not all of you can get some rest.

Oh Maya. I’m sorry to hear about your husband’s illness.
How is he doing, have you heard anything from the hospital?
And how are you? I hope you are ok

Thanks Fanny.
They have him on blood thinners and have given him aspirin and are doing a number of different scans. His legs are not working properly and his speech is really slurred. He is doubly incontinent. I am worried that the treatment will cause more problems for his kidneys as he had a kidney pancreas transplant 11 years ago. They didn't have a choice though.
I'm struggling to be honest. I feel so helpless.

Oh, you poor thing. I know exactly how you feel. I wish I could say something more helpful.
Just be kind to yourself

Oh Mayal my heart goes out to you. Sending you a great big hug. 🌹💞🌹

Oh Mayal I’m so sorry to hear this. There’s usually some of us around in the early hours if you need to talk to someone x
