Are you having trouble sleeping?
Sleep problems may be caused by how you’re feeling emotionally, or as part of the side effects for cancer treatment. If you find it hard to have a good sleep, you’re not alone. The Online Community is here to support you 24/7.
“Getting a cancer diagnosis is extremely stressful, and that brings a whole load of emotions, and lack of sleep certainly does not help. I think many of us have periods of insomnia. I experienced a long period of not sleeping. I could go off to sleep quite quickly, but after an hour I would find myself wide awake again, and would spend the rest of the night getting frustrated because I couldn't sleep."

Morning Helen 
Sorry you had a poor night again, lovey. Maybe a nice cuppa will put it right 
Well we had a mini-monsoon a short while ago, but according to the BBC report on my phone 'light rain showers' atm. 
So reliable.
Good luck at the dentist, but this might cheer you up - OH has got at least 3 fillings to look forward to soon, to accompany the two teeth already taken out. Another gift bestowed by his RT. Fab!
Hoping you'll cool down soon hon xxx
Morning Gill
I've had 3 cuppas already

Good lass xxx
I think seabrook crisps are the best, any flavour for me.

Hello Ray
You have my sympathy with the catheter- I had an indwelling catheter for 10 months. I do miss it sometimes, No need to get up 3 times in the night for a wee and I was one of the few people in the pub who could have a wee in the lounge!!
As for crisps, in Turkey we have Lamb Kebab flavour-absolutely amazing. the translation is “Tastes like grilled meat”.

Good choice Gill.
Don't know if you've had any rain this morning, we had the mother of all thunderstorms here in Tad about an hour ago.
Back to sun and humid now though.

I'm in the dark about the thunderstorm we had here, Derek.
I woke to a decent rumble of thunder around 7.25, followed by a burst of torrential rain. OH came down soon after and I asked him how long it had gone on. He stuck one finger up (not a rude gesture) meaning an hour, so I missed it all. Gutted
