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."

Still here, just looking at pics, of course they are not organised and I didn't digitally search

Bus stop in April. Looks quite exotic.
Cheers
It could be the blossom season in Japan.
Gorgeous xxx
Actually our blackberries are very early. Blackberry Week is the first half-term holiday after September return.
I am sure I have mentioned the fruit trees at the end of Stressy's street. Produce masses of plums etc but I won't pick up the windfall as it's a dog toilet area. We had leaf fall and then the fruit started dropping weeks ago
Cheers
We've got loads of big, juicy blackberries in our garden right now.
No plums though and especially not in dog's toilet areas xxx
I've seen people picking blackberries recently. Also crab apples from the numerous trees out in the lanes. Crab apples always look tempting but, eaten raw, their extreme sourness gives me stomach ache. Cooked with half a ton of sugar and they make nice sauce for pork. xxx
When I went out to go in to town, the police helicopter was out. Not sure what or who they were after but they were targeting a spot and came so low I could almost check out the pilots eye colour! Couple of folk thought they might be about to land in Aldi car park. Now who says shop lifting isn't taken seriously
Speaking of Aldi

Oooooh you can keep the pork but apple sauce now you're talking!
Cheers
