Awake and up all night

Hi again Sonia ️ 

Oh I do believe it hon. When I lived at my old house, a big squirrel got through the open window and spent ages running backwards and forwards on the curtain pole! He had muscles like Popeye's and made a hell of racket with his chattering.

I was pretty nervous in case he jumped down and went on the attack, but I left the door open too. It took an age but he eventually left through the window and ran up the outside wall at lightening speed. Nerve wracking at the time.

Did your little visitor go quietly hon? xxxx

He did go straight out the door when he saw me. I have got French doors in my living room and he came through them. He was big and muscles scared me to death.

I can imagine hon.

That one that came in wasn't the only time, as a few years ago here another tried it on.

Again with the window, which was only open a couple of inches but this one tried to get through the gap so OH gently closed it. I had the job of wiping his paw/claw marks off the window where he'd been scrambling.

We don't get too many round here, and I do love them, but if they invade a house and get up in the loft or underdrawing, they can cause real problems.

It might be an idea to invite the local mogs round hon. They're unlikely to catch any squirrels but will see them off xxx

Hi Ray,My replies keep vanishing.I’m the same no energy or will to do much in the heat.My garden is suffering,hoping the plants will bounce back but we have no rain forecast and have had very little rainfall over the last few weeks.It seems worse than 1976 it looks like it in every direction.I have seen lots of butterflies though so that is one positive.Love Jane xx

Ooh so much chat to catch up on.

Bread first. If it is a sliced loaf you can make toast from frozen slices, good toast.

Time with pal was good,.instead of chocolate and cheese we had posh peanut cookies  and wrestled our way through three crosswords. Of course we disagreed with the crossword setter

Cheers

Mmmm peanut cookies. OH and me used to do 4 crosswords every weekend and sent them off when complete. You know what stopped us doing them? The internet. We used a dictionary, thesaurus, maps and reference books as it made the challenge more fun and gave a brain workout. Not so much with easy internet access on our phones so that was that.

Moan over. Glad you had a good day hon xxx

A belated hello from me. 

I know you have links to groups with people with similar experiences to yourself but you are also very welcome to hang out here too. 

This bit of the forum is for people who find themselves awake at silly o clock but there's usually a few around in daylight too.

Here you can discuss anything err as you can see

If it isn't obvious (wadaya mean no, it isn't!) the folks here have a great insight to the cancer journey both from our own perspective and from caring for loved ones. Chat can be light hearted, comforting or serious and informative. Whatever you need Hun.

Don't worry if it seems like everyone knows everyone else, after a couple of visits you will too.

Take care and pop back to tell us how you are doing.

Cheers

Keeping bread in the fridge definitely works. I make my own bread which goes off much more quickly because it doesn't have preservatives.

Hi what is it you are weighing up about weekend whisky?

Have you been advised to avoid alcohol due to medicines? Have you had a problem with alcohol in the past? Do you think you should be spending your money on other things?

If it is whether to have an occasional, affordable treat in moderation, then you definitely deserve it

Cheers

Ooh, knock us a batch up please Ukes. I love homemade bread and haven't baked any for the longest time xxx
